Job boards generate 90% of applications but deliver far fewer hires. The data shows sourced candidates are 8x more likely to be hired—but not the way you think.

We analyzed 165 million applications and 1.2 million hires to understand what's actually working. The old sourcing playbook—endless boolean searches, expensive job boards, starting from scratch—is dead. The new reality? Nearly half of sourced hires come from rediscovered candidates already in your system. Join Leigh Miller (Senior Customer Talent Advisor at Gem), Allison Slater Rasch (Founding Partner, Talent By Design Collective), and Laura Lockwood (Director of Recruiting Operations, Programs, and Experience at Gusto), as they break down the data and share what top teams are doing differently.

What you'll learn:

• Why sourced candidates are 8x more likely to be hired than inbound applicants

• How to tap into the 46% of sourced hires that come from your existing database

• Real-world sourcing strategies from TA leaders who've adapted to this reality

• Which source channels deliver hires vs. waste budget

• How your metrics compare to industry benchmarks

For TA leaders, sourcers, and RecOps teams ready to focus on what actually works.
