4. Less operational cost and increases productivity. and many more.

Pin-code Sourcing is usually successful if

1. Infrastructure for such specific area / Pin-code is developed with good connectivity, Residential area & Public amenities.

2. If candidate mention pin-code on his/ her residential address in CV. Usually sourcer’s search on Portals with Pin-code or Area name.

How to Search

Usually Sourcer’s use keywords such as Skills + Pin-code OR Area name which searching CV’s on Job Portals. The search will be restricted to candidates who mentioned either Pin-code or area name on CV.

I am sure many sourcer’s have used such approach and it might have worked
