@MaureenSharib
800 NUMBERS
• 800 numbers are “call un-blocked” if
you’re using a Call Block service.
• Dial *67 to block your call.
• Dial *82 to unblock your call.
• Some numbers today are returning a fast
“busy” signal to call-blocked numbers.

@MaureenSharib
Acquihiring
• (a portmanteau of "acquisition" and
"hiring") is the process of hiring by
acquisition
• "Every engineer on staff adds $1
million in valuation to a company,” the
saying goes in the tech community.

@MaureenSharib
Acquisourcing
Identifying companies that might be
acquired sometimes just for their
employees and the sourcing and
engagement of their owners for the
beginning of the acquisition process.

@MaureenSharib
ASK• Actively inquiring after information;
usually on the telephone.
• “I asked the Receptionist Gatekeeper
to tell me who all the Food
Technologists were in the R&D group
and she did!”

@MaureenSharib
Blocked Calls
Resource used by phone sourcers to
mask where they’re calling from;
prevents lots of nosey call-backs!

Bomber Command
• A quick-witted phone sourcing group
should be a vital part of your
recruiting team's fleet-footed Bomber
Command Sourcing Unit.

Carat Level
• Overall effectiveness level of
sourcing results with unchecked
Internet results being the lowest and
just-off-the-phone-I-got-me-a-hot-
one! being the highest.

@MaureenSharib
Channeling
• A state of consciousness that elicits a flow of
communication between two people.
• Sources may include angels, discarnate former
humans, extraterrestrials, and other levels of
consciousness. They may also include
telephone directories, receptionists and
anybody else flesh-and-blood you get on the
telephone.

Charm
The power to effect work without
employing brute force (Ellis); a way of
getting the answer “yes” without
asking a clear question (Camus).

@MaureenSharib
Cocoon• The environ many employees are
surrounded by inside companies;
enveloped, protected, hidden,
invisible
• “These people are deeply cocooned
within the organization.”

CompetitorEntities involved in, or based on,
competition with each other
striving for the same object,
position, technology, employee,
etc.

@MaureenSharib
DecipherPiecing together pieces of information; in
phone sourcing fifteen Voice Mails in one
company all directing the listener to the
same Administrative Assistant is a good
indicator of a group that “hangs together”
(works together) inside that company.
![Page 20: Ensorceler Bar Phone Sourcing Glossary](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070301/5452d794af795952668b813c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
@MaureenSharib
Deep And Actionable Data
• Phone sourcing provides "deep and actionable
data” when you can hang up the phone and
dial another number and be assured you’ll be
reaching live a qualified potential hire.
• Hat Tip to Glen Cathey for the term “deep and
actionable data”!

@MaureenSharib
Disparate ImpactEmployment (and sourcing!) practices
may be considered discriminatory and
illegal if they have a disproportionate
"adverse impact" on members of a
minority group.
![Page 23: Ensorceler Bar Phone Sourcing Glossary](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070301/5452d794af795952668b813c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Phone Sourcing Tip
• In some phone systems, hitting 0
("zeroing out") will take you to an
administrative assistant for a
department - occasionally to another
deparment member.

Elicitation
Knowing what to say, when, to get
what.

@MaureenSharib
Phone Sourcing Tip
Collecting direct dials (or extensions)
of persons you meet/learn about along
the way on the inside of a company
will help you create a bird’s eye view/a
valuable dossier sometimes on a
company’s organizational structure.

@MaureenSharib
Emotional Intelligence
The ability to default to grace under
the onslaught of an ugly Gatekeeper.
![Page 27: Ensorceler Bar Phone Sourcing Glossary](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070301/5452d794af795952668b813c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
@MaureenSharib
ensorcel; ensorceler (Middle French)
• To enchant, bewitch
• Sourcers are challenged today to become
ensorcelers; work to develop the ability to
engage not only Gatekeepers but also
candidates on a level that captures their
attention to your message.

@MaureenSharib
Fear
That thing that clutches at your throat,
makes your hand sweaty, your gut sick
every time you think about making a
phone call to gather information.
![Page 29: Ensorceler Bar Phone Sourcing Glossary](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070301/5452d794af795952668b813c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
@MaureenSharib
Gatekeeper
That woman (or man) you imagine to
be the 400 lb guerilla on the other end
of the phone every time you make a
call to find out who somebody is/is
not/might want to do/not do/be/not be
something.

@MaureenSharib
Grunt• The individual contributors inside
companies who elude detection and
capture mostly because they’re too busy
doing what they’re doing to “list”
themselves on the Internet in any capacity
that reveals to the world exactly who, what
and where they are.

@MaureenSharib
“How Many Names?”
A good question the answer to which
divides, really, phone sourcers from
Internet sourcers. In general, a phone-
sourced job requires less names than
an Internet-sourced job.

Inveigle
• To win over by coaxing, flattery, or
artful talk.

@MaureenSharib
Lift-out• When an entire team of employees is
recruited from a competitor at once:
• "Good news: We engineered a complete
lift-out of ACME Corporation's
programmers."
• Can be dangerous and cause for legal
action.

Phone Sourcing Tip
Stating your name to the Receptionist

when she answers will go a good ways

@MaureenSharib
Passing The Buck
The habit some employees have of passing
responsibility to their managers and/or
subordinates. Is most easily discernable listening
to employee Voice Mail greetings; as in, “Hi. This
is Rob, Manufacturing Engineer. I’m on vacation
until November 15. If you need help with
automation issues contact my Manager, Jose
Perez at extension 487.”
![Page 49: Ensorceler Bar Phone Sourcing Glossary](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070301/5452d794af795952668b813c/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
@MaureenSharib
Phone Directory
Usually contains a listing of every employee
inside a specific company location. Many times a
company’s phone directory will lead you into
individual Voice Mails offering these as an
alternative to speaking to a Receptionist
Gatekeeper or after-hours to assist callers; a
virtual treasure trove of information if perused
carefully.

@MaureenSharib
Phone Sourcing
In recruiting and sourcing, the leveraging of
techniques (primarily the phone) to identify
candidates with limited to no presence in any easily
accessible public forum (the Internet, published list,
etc.) It requires the uncovering of candidate
information via a primary means of calling directly
into organizations to uncover data on people, their
role, title and responsibilities.

RemunerationPayment for services. In phone
sourcing today per-hour rates seem to
remain in the broad $35-$125/hr.
range and the per-name rate seems to
fall in the somewhat tighter $35 -$75
per name range.

Resistance
A force that tends to oppose or retard
motion. In phone sourcing resistance is met
more on the inside of our own expectations
than it is on the outside of reality.

Ruse
• a deceptive maneuver (especially to
avoid capture.)
• Also spelled “rouse” and “rouge” as
in, “I’m so ashamed by my lying that
my cheeks turned rouge.”

@MaureenSharib
Ruse: Controversial
Rusing may be a right-of-passage in so much that
phone sourcers who began their careers “rusing” -
lying to get information – were so uncomfortable
doing so that they’re challenged to increase their
communication skills to the point where it’s no

SecurityAny high fence around a company’s
information. Most companies don’t
address the issue, ignoring the cracks in
their doors through which the curious
public may peer. Knowing these armor
fissures allows a phone sourcer entry and
access.

SongbirdAny person whose vocal organ is developed
in such a way as to produce various sound
notes that translate into names or
information that leads to other names or
more information. The cant normally sounds
like music to a phone sourcer’s ears and
usually requires prompting to elicit.

Spilling

up” or “offering up” information about
others or facts inside an organization.

knowledge of the one doing the spilling (for
reasons known only to them.) Usually
follows prompting.

Stabbing In• The practice of calling into a company’s direct-dial system
in an ordered fashion, after learning the internal prefixes.
Requires discerning internal prefix first; sometimes as easy
as asking the receptionist for someone’s direct dial; usually
requires investigation on the Internet to uncover. Very
effective and for an experienced phone sourcer rarely takes
beyond three calls to obtain helpful information from
someone on the inside.

TargetThe organization you’re going into to source
talent. Some organizations are sourced
repeatedly in certain fields – they’re usually
the market leaders in their business
segment. They know it and many of them,
in turn, source talent repeatedly from their
competitors.

Title StrikeTitles vary depending on the size of the company,
but in general, the bigger the company, the lower
your title-strike might be, and the smaller the
company, the higher the title-strike might be. In
other words, a Manager level in a $3 billion sale
company could be at the same experience level as
a Director in a $900 million sale company or a VP in
a $100 million sale company.
