From an internal email today:
I am trying to source a programmer/writer, either internally or externally, to create an SDK docset.
Editorial ears pricked up at this one ("I guess hire is too 20th century."). One of our managers came up with the best explanation, though:
He’s just speaking recruiter. ;) When I was meeting with our recruiter, she kept asking if I wanted to do some "sourcing" with her and I kept staring at her blankly trying to figure out what the heck she was talking about.

Sourcing = looking through their database for suitable candidates.

Hold on a second, recruiters actually *use* those databases?
