The 3rd Half, The 5th Quarter, The Recap of OzHR #8

The 3rd Half, The 5th Quarter - we all know whatever the game is, the best part is the drinks after.

On Thursday 24 October, we had the #sosuau special OzHR tweetchat. The Sourcing Summit in Australia is all about sourcing, so you guessed it, we talked about sourcing! Here's the original questions for the evening, and the storify of the tweetchat.

So, let's get the post-match shenanigans underway.

A newcomers clap for:

And onto the 3,2,1s - the top 3 moments/players of the chat:

3 goes to @PhillipTusing for taking the time out to help us newbies to sourcing catch up:

Q1. Wikepedia is a good start for a definition of sourcing http://t.co/aJ4eHWVay7 #ozhr #sosuau

2 goes to @InterviewIQ for starting up one of the most interesting chat lines of the hour:

#ozhr I think sourcing online is seen as a mystery art by the average recruiter/ HR. I don't see a lot on Twitter and social media.

1 goes to @michaelsleap for embodying the whole point of OzHR: knowing a lot about one thing, knowing not much about something else, but participating and making it a learning experience for the whole community.

@ozhrtweets my perception - it is about proactively building a pool of best possible candidates for critical roles for now or later #ozhr
— Michael Sleap (@michaelsleap) October 24, 2013

@ozhrtweets absolutely - before I was a HR type I was a line manager and mainly recruited reactively through old school channels #ozhr

@andreamitchell brilliant point - your internal brand will play a large role in success/failure in your current role or organisation #ozhr
— Michael Sleap (@michaelsleap) October 24, 2013

@ozhrtweets have to weight up what is right for your career & put aside feeling flattered by the approach - may/may not be right move #ozhr

And the really cool thing about this week's tweetchat was that there was a ticket for #sosuau for the night's top contributor. So congratulations to Michael for scoring himself a Sourcing Summit ticket!

Thanks to everyone for making it a fantastic chat - and now onto the most traditional part of any 3rd Half, 5th Quarter, Post-Match Drinks - talking absolute crap over a few drinks. See you on twitter ;-)
