LinkedIn Sourcing Tip: Searching by Company? Beware!

Posted at January 5, 2010

Recently, I wrote about the intrinsic issues associated with searching LinkedIn for potential candidates with specific industry experience, and how using the “Industry” field can actually prevent you from finding the people you’re looking for. 
A number of readers responded by suggesting a logical solution to the issue – searching by specific company name(s) instead of using LinkedIn’s ”Industry” [...]

LinkedIn Search Results Sorting: Relevance or Keyword?

Posted at October 26, 2009

When I deliver presentations on how to leverage LinkedIn to source candidates, I have the opportunity to get a sense of what most people seem to know about using LinkedIn.  Recently I have been making it a point to ask how people tend to sort their search results when searching LinkedIn, and the overwhelming majority leave their results sorting [...]

The Two Levels of Candidate Sourcing

Posted at October 20, 2009

Many individuals and organizations treat the sourcing role and function of recruiting – searching for and identifying potential candidates – as an entry level position, and/or a simple and basic task that does not require much skill or experience. 
I agree.
I believe that it does not take much skill or experience to simply transcribe job titles and required skill keywords into LinkedIn, Monster, [...]

Google Search: The Asterisk Wildcard and Punctuation

Posted at September 14, 2009

Think you know all there is to know about Google search?
I was recently asked a question regarding the use of the asterisk when searching on Google, specifically in conjunction with certain punctuation.
This person was under the impression that if you used the equal sign on either side of an asterisk when searching Google, it would function as a multiple word wildcard operator. [...]

Top 10 Candidate Sourcing Best Practices

Posted at August 31, 2009

I firmly believe that candidate identification is the most critical step in the talent acquisition/recruiting life cycle – you can’t build a relationship with, receive a referral from, network with, or hire someone you haven’t found in the first place.
From the very beginning of my recruiting career, I’ve leveraged technology for talent identification, and I’ve learned that searching databases, [...]

The Cardinal Rule of E-Sourcing

Posted at July 13, 2009

When I was working on the LinkedIn Search: What it COULD and SHOULD be post, I noticed a couple of things in the video of Esteban Kozak searching for Lucene Open Source Engineers and I realized it would make for a perfect example of the importance of the Cardinal Rule of E-Sourcing. I know Esteban was just giving a demonstration [...]
