Primarily from the timesaving aspect of not resourcing themselves, and secondly it gives them the ability to tap into a Sourcers specialist knowledge of advanced Internet sourcing. A sourcing company will; uncover hidden CVs, identify passive candidates for head hunting, unearth company employee directories and a host of other candidate information that would normally be inaccessible to recruiters. A Sourcing company will also manage advertising response, search online CV databases and undertake almost any other Internet-based recruitment assignment.
