Build a talent sourcing strategy for a hard-to-fill role. Use when asked to create a sourcing strategy, a candidate sourcing plan, a channel plan for hiring, or to figure out where to find candidates for a role. Produces a strategy — the ideal-candidate profile and where they are, prioritised sourcing channels, outreach approach, a pipeline target with funnel math, and a weekly plan — so sourcing is deliberate, not just posting and praying.

# Sourcing Strategy Skill

Hard roles aren't filled by posting a job and waiting — they're filled by knowing **who** you need, **where**
they are, and **how** to reach enough of them to fill the funnel. This skill builds that plan: the target
profile, the channels ranked by where the talent actually concentrates, and the pipeline math so you know how
many to source to make one hire.

## Working from a brief

Given "we can't fill our staff ML engineer role", **build the strategy anyway** — infer the candidate profile,
where they cluster, and a realistic funnel, labelling assumptions. Use funnel **ratios with a worked example**
rather than inventing exact numbers. Never withhold for missing detail.
