This afternoon’s sessions consisted of golden nuggets of search tips and techniques. From the brain of Shally Steckerl, one of the most well-known sourcing professionals in our business, to the sourcing lab leaders, to the contributions of the greater sourcing community during Jim Schnyder’s session, if you were looking for some new sourcing toys to play with you came away well satisfied during the second half of Day 1.
For those unable to attend SourceCon Orlando live, I present to you some of the best tweets of the afternoon with new tools, resources, and techniques to try out on your own:
