McLean, Virginia – June 1, 2015
Shally Steckerl, President of The Sourcing Institute, today announced the winners of the World’s Greatest Sourcer Competition 2015 (WGS15). iPlace employee Vishal Shettigar and 15 other iPlacers were ranked in The World’s Greatest Sourcer’s Top 100.
The World’s Greatest Sourcer Competition (WGS15) consists of ten challenges ranging from a scavenger hunt to finding candidate direct-dial phone numbers, eliciting responses, engaging passive talent, and building out a sourcing strategy.
Sourcers from all around the world participated and entered the sourcing decathlon to show off their candidate hunting skills and claim the title as the World’s Greatest Sourcer. Winners were honored and celebrated at the 2015 ERE Recruiting Conference in San Diego on April 29, 2015.
Vishal Shettigar, iPlace’s Sourcing Team Lead, stated,
It was a tough month-long sourcing challenge but I learned a lot of new things from professionals all around the world. It was a priceless (and much needed) experience. Special kudos to all 750 sourcing and recruiting peers who competed in the challenge and congratulations to all the winners.
Alex Kage, iPlace’s Chief Operating Officer, stated,
Out of the 750 sourcers and recruiters reviewed by The Sourcing Institute, we are very proud of Vishal Shettigar who ranked seventh in the WGS15 Leaderboard. Vishal topped in the ‘Build-a-String’ category and earned a star in the extra credits category for sharing knowledge. He’s a true professional living by iPlace’s core values of sharing ideas and continuous learning.
Alex went on to say:
I also congratulate all the sourcers and recruiters who participated, especially all 15 who are now regarded as some of the Greatest Sourcers in the world in 2015. I’m proud of each one of you and I’m privileged to work with such smart, passionate, dedicated, and talented professionals.
