Topic: - HR Sourcing activity in Financial Service

Introduction:- Sourcing in personnel management work refers to the identification and uncovering of candidates (also known as talent) through proactive recruiting techniques. The actual act of sourcing for candidates is performed by either a recruiter (be it an internal corporate recruiter or agency recruiter) or a dedicated recruiter just focused on the sourcing function. The definition of sourcing needs to be clearly defined by what it is, as much as what it is not. Candidate sourcing activity typically ends once the name, job title, job function and contact information for the potential candidate is determined by the candidate sourcer. To further develop a list of names that were sourced some companies have a second person then reach out to the names on the list to initiate a dialogue with them with the intention of pre-screening the candidate against the job requirements and gauging the interest level in hearing about new job opportunitites. This activity is called "candidate profiling" or "candidate pre-screening". The term candidate sourcing should not be confused with candidate research. In some situations a person that "sources" candidates can and will perform both 'primary' and 'secondary' sourcing techniques to identify candidates as well as the candidate profiling to further pre-screen candidates but there is a growing market for experts solely focused on "telephone sourcing", "internet sourcing/researching" and candidate profiling. The actual act to source candidates can usually be split out into two clearly defined techniques: primary sourcing and secondary sourcing. Primary sourcing/phone sourcing In recruiting and sourcing, this means the leveraging of techniques (primarily the phone) to identify candidates with limited to no presence of these individuals in any easily accessible public forum (the Internet, published list, etc.). It requires the uncovering of candidate information via a primary means of calling directly into organizations to uncover data on people, their role, title and responsibilities.

The term "phone sourcers" or "phone name generator" or "telephone names sourcer" generally applies to the utilization of primary sourcing techniques Secondary sourcing/Internet sourcing In recruiting and sourcing, this means the using of techniques (primarily the Internet and utilizing advanced Boolean operator to identify candidates. Individuals in the recruiting industry that have deep expertise in uncovering talent in the harder to reach places on the internet (forums, blogs, alumni groups, conference attendee lists, personal home pages, etc.). The term "internet sources", "Internet name generator" or "internet researcher generally applies to the use of secondary sourcing techniques. Hr sourcing activity initiated by the financial services After a drought of several years, financial sector companies have begun to recruit new employees once again. The financial standing of brokerage firms has improved along with rising share prices and increasing trade volumes. However, the current situation is still a far cry from the tech boom of five years back. Ex:Investment bank KaupthingSofi announced last week that they had hired four new

analysts. The company, which also offers brokerage and asset management services, currently employs 50 people, but the expected growth rate for this year is extremely high. They focus on finance professionals with prior work experience. The analysts who were hired last week were lured away from jobs with competitors. According to Niemel, the investment bank will also hire young people who are new to the field later on, and there should be plenty of such talent available. Up until now, the recruitment activity of Finnish investment banks and brokerage houses has mainly consisted of professionals switching from one employer to another. Also, people who lost their jobs during the cost-cutting rounds over the past few years have found new jobs.

They estimates that the job situation is still closer to the trough than the peak. The weakest phase is over, but not everyone who worked in the field in the boom years has yet found a new job and returned after the job cuts. The wage level that was common in the financial sector five years ago is also long gone. The people who signed contracts at the time and have retained their jobs earn much more than those analysts and portfolio managers who are hired today. 2.
