Velocity vs. Internal Sourcing
Building your own talent sourcing team may not be the solution for you...
Let's Talk About Why
Has your organization been thinking of augmenting your full-lifecycle recruiters with a sourcer or team of sourcers?
This strategy has been touted by TA leaders as the solution to all your recruiting challenges, including finding passive talent and improving the quality of hire.

What are these pitfalls and why is Velocity a better choice? Let's break it down!
The Pitfalls of Building an Internal Sourcing Team
Realistic Bandwidth Needs
The number one reason why internal sourcing teams fail is simply not being able to meet the demands of the business. Many leaders either dramatically underestimate or can’t get headcount approval for the number of sourcers they will need to make this strategy effective so they “take what they can get” and hope for the best.
