SourceCon 2017 Keynote Series: FaceTime Unplugged

This week the team at Proactive Talent Strategies is attending the 10th Anniversary of SourceCon in Austin, Texas. With a total of seven keynotes throughout the entire conference, we’ve decided to do a write-up on everyone in a series we’re calling Sourcing Secrets: Keynotes from SourceCon 2017. 

Tuesday Afternoon Keynote

Keynote: FaceTime Unplugged: Sourcing Before Social Media
Speakers: Maisha Cannon

One of my favorite speakers at #SourceCon this year. Maisha talked about what sourcing was like prior to social media -- and in a wonderful display of irony -- i will be describing her session in the form of embedded tweets that she so perfectly sent out during her presentation.

How does this relate to the conference theme?

Did you not just read all those tweets? :P Maisha went way back -- to the basics with this stellar presentation.
