Active Sourcing is a method of targeted recruitment in which recruiters and HR professionals proactively search for suitable candidates instead of waiting for applications. This approach is used when companies need specialists with specific qualifications that are difficult to find on the open market. Direct outreach to candidates on platforms, social networks, or through databases creates a structured process for identifying talent. The method is particularly applied in industries facing skills shortages and enables companies to reduce their time-to-hire.
Organizations deploy Active Sourcing in projects when they need to quickly find highly qualified employees for specialized positions. Freelancers with this competency conduct research, analyze candidate profiles, and prepare outreach strategies. They are frequently commissioned to build talent pools, evaluate candidates, and establish initial contact. Such projects typically arise during phases of company growth, when filling leadership positions, or when specialized technical roles need to be staffed.
Market data indicates that Active Sourcing with 16 projects has established demand in the freelance market. This ranking at position 885 of 1233 skills points to a specialized offering used by companies with targeted recruitment needs. The project volume demonstrates that this method is regularly procured as an external service, particularly when internal HR capacity is limited or external expertise is required.

Methodology: We count IT postings of the last 90 days that mention Active Sourcing. Projects posted several times that are detected as duplicates count once; postings without an assignable IT category are missing, so the figures are a lower bound. The trend compares the share of all IT postings with the 90 days before and only appears with enough comparison data. We do not show figures based on fewer than 30 data points. Recruiters are the posters of the listing according to the source, only above a minimum number of postings. The description of the skill is created automatically (from our skill directory or by AI) and checked by machine: no numbers, no company names, only the skill and its neighbours in the taxonomy. Texts are created and checked automatically, numbers come from the postings.
