Sourcing Lab: Watch the Search Happen Live
Go behind the scenes with some of the industry’s top sourcers as they tackle difficult searches in real time, reveal their pivots, and preview what’s coming to the ERE Recruiting Innovation Summit...
Most sourcing sessions show you the finished product. The perfect Boolean string. The candidate who was eventually found. The case study after everything worked.
This session is about everything that happens before that.
Join Brian Fink, Arron Daniels, Tiffany Ballve, and host Tommy Weinert for a live, interactive look at how experienced sourcers approach difficult searches when the obvious path doesn’t work.
Expect real scenarios, real techniques, and real discussion around the moments that usually get edited out: dead-end searches, unexpected pivots, adjacent talent pools, niche communities, AI-assisted approaches, and the lateral thinking required to find people who don’t show up in a straightforward keyword search.
You’ll hear how these sourcers decide when to abandon one approach and try another, which tools and techniques they reach for when a search gets difficult, and why four experienced sourcers can attack the same challenge in completely different ways.
This live session is a preview. Tommy, Brian, Arron, and Tiffany are bringing the full Sourcing Lab experience to the ERE Recruiting Innovation Summit, November 10-11 in San Diego, where they’ll take on tough sourcing challenges live on stage with their laptops wired to the big screen. You’ll see every string, every pivot, every dead end, and every breakthrough as it happens.
Think of this as your chance to get an early look at the techniques, personalities, and problem-solving approaches they’ll bring to the Summit, while walking away with ideas you can put to work on your own toughest searches right away.
Attendees Will Learn:
• How experienced sourcers approach difficult searches when the obvious strategy fails
• Techniques, Boolean strings, AI prompts, and sourcing shortcuts worth testing in your own searches

• Ways to uncover talent through adjacent industries, niche communities, and unconventional search paths
