Why I Love SourceCon – Learning From Great Sourcers and Recruiters
19 02 2010
If you read the speaker’s bio on Eric Jaquith, it understates the real talent and influence that Eric has on the sourcing world. I think of Eric as the sourcer’s sourcer. If a sourcer needs a deep dive on a technology or a process, then Eric should be on your speed dial.
Last fall at ERE, I was discussing travel plans with a friend. I knew he had commuted from Atlanta to the conference by car with Eric. He mentioned that he was flying back to Atlanta and I curious why he did not want to travel by car with Eric (frankly, I cannot imagine a more interesting trip than being locked in a car for eight hours discussing sourcing, recruiting and business from Eric’s perspective). My friend replied that his brain still hurt from the trip down.
I doubt that Eric will fry our brains in 75 minutes, but I am looking forward to what he has to day. I still refer to notes that I have taken from previous sessions with Eric.
One of the aspects of SourceCon that I enjoy is learning and sharing. While most of my time will be spent learning from others, I also have an opportunity to share with the SourceCon audience. While I do not believe they are saving the best for last, I am the last speaker of the last day (Monday) and invite you to take a later flight and join me in a discussion of Employing Talent Communities to Rehumanize the Recruiting Process.
Make sure to join us March 14-15th in San Diego at SourceCon – register today!

Eric is awesome.
Eric is awesome.
Eric was “the” highlight of my first trip to ERE a year ago. I know a number of people whom Eric has coached and shared ideas and creativity with, and am one of them! I’m very much looking forward to see Eric (and, of course, Marvin!) again.
ERIC = Extreme Recruiting Intelligence Colleague
JAQUITH = Just Absorb Quickly, Uncanny Intellect, Totally Helpful
Eric is awesome!
My nickname for Eric is “The Ninja”
He has caused me on more than one occassion to say “Eric my brain is temporarily saturated.”
A Pro.
