Haines Wed, 22 Oct 2008 20:07:53 +0000 http://www.booleanblackbelt.com/?p=154#comment-9 Glenn, I too have been working on this same problem. The closest solution I have come up with is through the LinkedIn site, under the People search tab, you can conduct a Reference Search and limit the search to a specific company and employment year range; i.e. XYZ Corp / 1998 to 2007. That will still yield employees who are current, but will eliminate some. I also have tried a variety of inanchor, intitle, inurl combo’s after limiting the search to Linkedin’s site to no avail. I look forward to hearing about what solutions you and others come up with. (I like you site as well. Keep up the good work!)

They've been dead to me since before Google gained popularity. Wow, recruiters must be keeping Altavista afloat. They’ve been dead to me since before Google gained popularity.
