Direct Source Research

HR Advisors' Recruiting Department provides ongoing Direct Source Research for any job category or position. This gives us the ability to provide you with strong candidates who may not be actively seeking a change of employment at the present time.

Strategic Staffing Solutions: What is direct source research?

Direct Source Research or “DSR” is the process of identifying qualified candidates by penetrating targeted competitor companies to obtain valuable organizational information.

What are the advantages of Direct Source Research?

Our Recruiting Team recruits or “sources” directly into targeted companies, not random data banks. We search beyond the internet into the passive candidate arena. We help our clients identify their competitors and assist them with determining the profile and characteristics of the candidates they are seeking. Our goal is to enable our clients to pursue qualified candidates that meet their position requirements who may not be actively seeking to change companies. We can help you strengthen your recruiting process with our strategic staffing solutions.
