I need to hire for a skill so new or specialised that a normal keyword search returns only a handful of people. Build me a sourcing plan. ROLE: {{Job Title}}, {{level}} THE NICHE SKILL: {{e.g. robotics foundation models, post-quantum cryptography migration, eBPF, CRDT-based collaboration, LLM inference optimisation}} LOCATION AND WORK MODEL: {{location / remote}} TIMELINE AND BUDGET: {{how long I have, rough comp range}} Give me: 1. The adjacent backgrounds that are the realistic source of this talent, and for each, what they'd already bring and what they'd have to learn. Rank them by how quickly they'd be productive. 2. Where these people show their work instead of on LinkedIn: open-source projects and their contributors, research papers and conferences, university labs, community forums, meetups and competitions. Name specific ones where you're confident they exist, and say where I should verify. 3. Search strings built on the adjacent skills rather than the niche keyword, on a single line each. 4. Companies and research groups likely to have this skill, noting which are realistic to hire from and which rarely lose people. 5. An outreach angle that works for people who are rarely approached about their real specialism, and what they'll want to know first. 6. Whether I should hire the finished skill or hire adjacent and train, with the trade-off in time and cost stated plainly. Tell me honestly if the brief as written is unrealistic for the budget or timeline.
