Experience is useful.
Sharing it is the point.
I’m Moises Lopez, a recruiting author, trainer, and technical sourcing strategist with more than 25 years in the industry. I help recruiters look beyond job titles and keywords to understand the capabilities a business actually needs.
My career has included hands-on technical searches, leading sourcing teams, and developing training for recruiters across regions. I’ve worked inside the urgency of hiring, and I care about helping people build a more thoughtful, repeatable way to do it.
Through The Sourcing Corner, I turn that experience into books, training, and practical consulting. Whether you’re building a recruiting team, developing your skills, or navigating a job search, you’re welcome here.
