Given the tight timeline, competitive market, and the large volume of recruitment needed, the Hudson RPO team needed to find innovative ways to reach candidates in the tier-three cities — many of whom weren’t actively looking for roles. The team leveraged multiple sourcing channels including advertising, internal channels, databases, and social media to start proactively sourcing talent in this market.
