Boolean Strings + Social Media

Trials

Here are the links to free trials of some tools I use daily and like.

Tools by eGrabber:

· ResumeFinder is a passive candidate sourcing tool that searches for resumes from Internet communities, free resume sites, social networking sites and more using Google, Yahoo, Live, Altavista and AlltheWeb. It includes an extensive library of search strings developed by search experts to locate desired profiles.

· ResumeGrabber auto-extracts resumes from Google search results, Job Boards, email attachments, and other sources and parses them. You can then export the results into a number of formats.

New: LeadResearcher finds and updates the missing contact information such as E-mail address, Phone numbers, Profiles from Social Networking Sites, Company links etc.,

Broadlook Diver extracts the contact information out of the search engine results of Google, Yahoo, Alltheweb, AltaVista and Microsoft Live searches. New! Broadlook Diver now has a Magic Dive function that quickly and skillfully parses LinkedIn profiles.


Jigsaw is a business directory where you can find contact and company information. Recruiters can use Jigsaw to quickly identify passive and hidden candidates. Company information is free on Jigsaw. For people contact information there are free and paid options. (I use a free account.)


Autosearch is a web-based candidate search tool that is simple to use and doesn’t require advanced Boolean knowledge.
