81What is a sourcing pipeline?
A sourcing pipeline is a structured list of candidates at different engagement stages, helping recruiters move faster and stay organized.
82Why are candidate personas useful?
Candidate personas clarify the kind of talent you need, making sourcing, screening, and communication more consistent.

EVP is the unique combination of compensation, growth, culture, and purpose that makes candidates choose your company.

By improving JD quality, pre-building talent pools, automating scheduling, and aligning interview feedback quickly.
85What is Boolean Search in recruitment?
Boolean search uses AND, OR, NOT operators to refine candidate searches on LinkedIn and job portals.

STAR = Situation, Task, Action, Result. It structures behavioral questions for consistent candidate evaluation.
