In the Recruiting Leadership forum, Amy Johnson [1] asked some key questions about how to design and build an internal team dedicated exclusively to sourcing. In my book, "Electronic Recruiting 101", I review in detail the structure of a successful centralized sourcing team.

But the question wasn't a request for an infomercial. Amy asked some specific questions about building a sourcing team inside of a corporation, so I would like to offer my perspective based on having been instrumental in building several sourcing teams (Motorola, Cisco, Coke), architecting and managing two of my own (Google, Microsoft), and consulting on the design of numerous others.
