🎯 Sourcing Tip – Day 77

Use Online Course Platforms to Discover Learners & Experts

Websites like Coursera, Udemy, edX, and Skillshare have discussion boards, learner profiles, and sometimes even project submissions.

Many professionals openly showcase the courses they’re enrolled in and the skills they’re building.

💡 How to leverage this:

Look at discussion forums of niche courses (e.g., “Advanced Data Engineering” or “Financial Modeling”).

Identify active learners who engage, ask questions, or share their projects—these are motivated professionals investing in growth.

Reach out with a personalized note acknowledging their learning journey.


👉 This method helps you find talent that is future-focused, self-driven, and open to opportunities, long before they update their LinkedIn with new skills.
