In this episode of Leaders in Talent podcast, we’re joined by Kanwar Kohli, who leads global sourcing at Booking.com, supporting close to 1,000 hires per year with a team of ~20 sourcers.

We go deep into what sourcing really means today, and why it’s no longer about volume, pipeline, or “more candidates.”

Kanwar shares how Booking.com built its sourcing function from scratch, why sourcing is the only part of TA that truly controls supply, and how market intelligence, judgment, and AI are reshaping the role of sourcers.
