Sourcing and Work Product Techniques
Sourcing and work product techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a system includes one or more modules implemented at least partially in hardware and that are configured to collect data related to an opportunity described in a posting. The data is collected via an application made by a user to the posting, a recommendation made on behalf of another user based on the posting, and at least one discovery made via a search. The system also includes at least one module implemented at least partially in hardware and configured to generate a user interface that includes representations of users from the data and a portion that is configured to display potential candidates responsive to one or more selections made via the user interface of one or more of the representations.
1 . In a digital medium environment to locate potential contacts for an opportunity, a method implemented by a computing device, the method comprising:
generating, by the computing device, a user interface having a plurality of examples of work product produced by respective ones of a plurality of users;
receiving, by the computing device, one or more selections via the user interface of one or more of the examples, the one or more selections indicating a user associated with a respective said example is a potential candidate for an opportunity; and
aggregating, by the computing device, the one or more selections for display in the user interface as a collection of potential contacts for the opportunity.
2 . The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the opportunity relates to participation in a project or an employment opportunity.
3 . The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of examples of the work product include an image or sound data generated by a respective said user through interaction with an application.
4 . The method as described in claim 1 , further comprising updating examples of the work product for display in the user interface that corresponds to a respective said potential candidate.
5 . The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the work product is not a textual document.
6 . The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the work product is not a resume.
7 . The method as described in claim 1 , wherein one or more of the collection of potential candidates is viewable in the user interface concurrently with one or more of the plurality of examples of work product.
8 . The method as described in claim 7 , wherein at least one of the plurality of examples of work product has not been selected as a potential candidate for the opportunity.
9 . In a digital medium environment to locate potential candidates for an opportunity, a talent sourcing system comprising:
one or more processors; and
a memory comprising processor-executable instructions which, responsive to execution by the one or more processors, are configured to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from a plurality of sources, data representing multiple user profiles;
displaying the multiple user profiles in a user interface by grouping individual ones of the multiple user profiles into one of a plurality of portions of the user interface based on a source of the plurality of sources from which data representing the user profile was received;
receiving a selection of at least one of the multiple user profiles displayed in the user interface; and
displaying the at least one selected user profile in a portion of the user interface that is configured to display potential candidates.
10 . The system as described in claim 9 , wherein the plurality of portions of the user interface and the portion of the user interface that is configured to display potential candidates are displayed in a single view in the user interface.
11 . The system as described in claim 9 , wherein one of the plurality of sources comprises applications made to a posting.
12 . The system as described in claim 11 , wherein one of the plurality of sources comprises recommendations that are automatically generated based on the posting.
13 . The system as described in claim 11 , wherein one of the plurality of sources comprises discoveries made by a user who generated the posting.
14 . The system as described in claim 9 , wherein one of the plurality of sources comprises recommendations made by one user on behalf of another user.
15 . The system as described in claim 9 , further comprising updating the at least one selected user profile in response to an update to work product associated with a user of the at least one selected user profile.
16 . The system as described in claim 9 , wherein the system is configured to receive the selection of at least one of the user profiles via a drag and drop operation.
17 . The system as described in claim 9 , wherein the system is configured to receive the selection of at least one of the user profiles via a cursor or control device of the system.
18 . The system as described in claim 9 , wherein the system is configured to receive the selection of at least one of the user profiles via a gesture input.
19 . The system as described in claim 9 , wherein individual ones of the user profiles include information that is representative of a user's work product, the user's work product comprising at least one of an image created by the user, a sound sample created by the user, or an image of an object created by the user.
20 . In a digital medium environment to locate potential candidates for an opportunity, a method comprising:
a step for receiving, from a plurality of sources, data representing multiple user profiles;
a step for displaying the multiple user profiles in a user interface by grouping individual ones of the multiple user profiles into one of a plurality of portions of the user interface based on a source of the plurality of sources from which data representing the user profile was received;
a step for receiving a selection of at least one of the multiple user profiles displayed in the user interface; and
a step for displaying the at least one selected user profile in a portion of the user interface that is configured to display potential candidates.
