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.
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.
