Google anything to do with sourcing in Australia and it’s hard to not come across Andrea Mitchell. An industry veteran and founder of the Australian Researchers’ Network, Andrea has two passions – applying new tools & techniques to sourcing and raising the profile of local practitioners. We caught up with Andrea to discuss her background and upcoming talks at the Sourcing Summit.

As a former criminal investigator with the Israeli army Gad Weinbach spent a lot of time trying to ‘find people who don’t want to be found’.

One of the areas I always do research around, regardless of the type of role or industry, is LinkedIn Groups. I have found the information and candidates through this method for every kind of search.

When I first came to the world of recruiting back in 1996, the internet had only been publicly available for around five years. The world then was only beginning to understand its potential. I recognized it as game-changer. And I was right. It was the death of recruiting as it was and the birth of how it would be. Leveraging this realization enabled me to achieve my first great success in this business. I went from a hapless rookie to an industry leader by doing one simple thing: connecting with people online. No one had recruited like that before. This taught me a valuable lesson about the business of hiring people: you have to adapt and innovate to succeed.
