#SourcingTip – Day 64

💻 Leverage “Community Job Boards” for Hidden Talent

Not every professional is on LinkedIn or mainstream platforms. Many niche experts—especially developers, designers, writers, and marketers—hang out on community-driven job boards. These are great places to discover passive talent who showcase their skills openly.

✅ Examples of such boards:

Dribbble & Behance Job Boards → for designers

Stack Overflow Jobs (archived but profiles still searchable) → for developers

AngelList / Wellfound → for startup talent

Kaggle → for data scientists

Product Hunt Makers → for innovators & product managers

✅ Why it works:

Candidates here are usually passionate contributors, not just job-seekers.

You get insights into their actual work—projects, portfolios, discussions.

Often less recruiter competition compared to LinkedIn.

💡 Pro tip: Instead of cold outreach, reference their community contributions (“I loved your Dribbble project on fintech UX”) to make your message personal and authentic
