Basic high-level overview and tips that doesn't offer a one-sheet to reference them or practice scenarios. I'd take this before you start a real sourcing training course to understand the scope of a sourcer, but that's it.

The only critics I have are that Twitter needs to be updated to 'X' (sent message to author), and Section 6.15 doesn't talk at all about WHY they are important metrics. Other than that, very good content for beginner or intermediate Sourcers, although there are a couple modules good for expert also. I especially thought Boolean and LinkedIn info was good. Note: this course is good for English as Second Language (ESL) learners because she speaks so slowly (however, I had to speed up to 1.5 personally).

I would recommend this course to other learners and colleagues. All good, perfect.

I loved understanding how to specify my search and make the search engines work for me. It helps maximize my time spent sourcing and build a strong pipeline. I also appreciated the breakdown of sourcing functionality versus recruiting functinality and how they differ from one another
