The post BizNar Makes Company Research Easy appeared first on RecruitingDaily.

It’s nothing too crazy. However, we are combining it with an interesting Chrome extension.  The gist of it is to create a fairly simple Google Xray string phrased like this:

site:github.com language:java AND “@gmail.com”

Like we said, nothing too crazy.

The fun part is when you add in this pretty neat Chrome Extension called Email Extractor. If you’re trying to speed up your headhunting, this puppy is a great tool to have in your belt. It will automatically comb through whatever page you are on and return all of the email addresses on screen. Neat, right?

A little nuance with Google is that it usually doesn’t show everything all at once, it drip feeds search results in small batches. Annoying. But, we have technology. To display all of the content on a Google page faster, you can take an extra step and add uAutoPagerize to your Chrome browser. That will automatically display all “unloaded” content. Now, when you click on Email Extractor it should have way more results. Booya.

Take this more as a building block than a step by step guide.  Be creative with your Boolean strings so you can get results that are different from other people. The more refined your search, the more likely you’re going to source developer emails that haven’t been bothered into oblivion.

Happy hunting!

The post Source Developer Emails with a Simple GitHub Xray Search appeared first on RecruitingDaily.

If you’re having trouble generating email copy for your recruiting sends, then look no further. This extension adds a zillion different pre-built options for generating content, but luckily it has some email options in there as well. Furthermore, you can customize and tailor exactly what you want the AI to produce if whatever template you’re using isn’t exactly to your liking.

the ChatGPT Chrome extension has a few other neat features. You can tailor the list to your liking with the favorites section, so you can at-a-glance get access to your most frequently used options. However, there is a bit of a learning curve when it comes to generating content. It uses tags and other features to allow you to make sure it generates unique content every time. There’s forums, FAQ’s, and all sorts of resources so you can fully take advantage of these features.

Give it a try! If you put a little effort into making your own curated prompts you could save yourself countless hours of work.

The post Optimize Your Recruiting Emails with the ChatGPT Chrome Extension appeared first on RecruitingDaily.

GitHub makes it somewhat straightforward to tell user activity, but there’s a better way. With OSS Insight, you have a clean one page dashboard of all the recent repo updates, pulls and pushes, and everything else in-between. This makes chugging through developer’s GitHub activity extremely painless, to the point where you can tell within seconds just how active this coder is.

There are some other niche features like GPT powered data exploration. It lets you request data in natural language and spits out a very intelligent answer. It can even generate SQL from the dataset. If you have a detailed enough request, you could use this to headhunt active developers in a specific field. The search feature is VERY powerful, give it a try.

You can also explore trending data. If you want to see what sort of code is hot right now, it’s a great place to start. It tracks all sorts of metrics on GitHub, far more than the average person might need.

This tool has a myriad of uses, we really recommend you take a look and see if it’s something you can add to your workflow.

The post Check Github Activity at a Glance with OSS Insight appeared first on RecruitingDaily.

Having your own smart little monster to boss around can get pretty addicting. ChatGPT‘s ability to interpret even the loosest of commands is quite fascinating.  You could ask it something along the lines of “write boolean for finding software engineers in denver, co” and it will fill in the rest. It’s quite capable at handling more complex commands as well, with a few caveats.

It doesn’t know all of the industry terminology, like for example it has no idea what it means to Xray. But, you can say site search or something coloquial and it can handle that just fine. There are some nuances like that, but you can pretty much “spoken language” your way through the entire string.

Have fun using ChatGPT for boolean, and let us know what works or what doesn’t. While recruiters and sourcers won’t be replaced any time soon, we all are feeling some strong winds of change blowing. We’re sure the world is going to be seeing a lot more of this technology…for better or for worse.

The post Take Advantage of ChatGPT for Boolean Strings While You Still Can appeared first on RecruitingDaily.

Now, you can manually build a boolean search without any of the hassle and nuances of quotations, parentheses, or frustrating mistypes.  This revamped filter system, dubbed Seekout Smart Match, adds a suite of spicy options for you to pick from. You can search all the standard parameters, with a lot of focused filters like diversity tags, experience levels, and previous titles.

It has most (if not all) of the most familiar boolean expressions built right into the settings. You can even combine your search with Boolean phrasing, which is a great boon for power users. Click through all of the Smart Search filters that suite your needs, and then finish off the query with some good ole fashioned Boolean.

#HRTX March is creeping up, save the date!

On March 23rd, our team of sourcing experts will guide you through the fundamentals of sourcing. Our training sessions will cover everything from the building blocks of sourcing to the essential tools & methods you need to master to be an effective sourcer.

So you’re not a newbie? That’s okay. There’s something for everyone at this event, no matter your level. This is a stacked lineup that’s going to help you take your game to the next level.

Click here to find out more information and save the date!

The post Narrow Down Your Candidate Pool with Seekout Smart Match appeared first on RecruitingDaily.

We are simple beasts at heart.  I’d be genuinely shocked if someone told me they had a unique login name for every one of their online accounts. Besides it being incredibly weird, it’s also a hassle. Nobody has time for that. We all use the same name as frequently as possible, dont lie. But, that’s where the “creature of habit” mentality can be exploited (muahaha).

Say you find a juicy lead off twitter, and want to find their email address…what’s a sourcer to do? Plug that twitter handle into WhatsMyName and see what the cat drags in.  It will scour the far reaches of the internet for any and all references to that phrase. We’re talking social media sites and everything under the digital sun.

If they have a custom URL made for their LinkedIn, it should appear there. If they happen to be a software engineer of some kind, GitHub is a fantastic social platform for tracking emails as well. Their email (if they did not choose to hide it) will be under their profile image on their account page.

There are a few other social media accounts that have public facing email addresses, but for the most part LinkedIn and GitHub will be your holy water.  This sort of methodology is what a lot of sourcers live for: the dopamine rush of finally tracking someone down.

Best of luck hunting.

The post Free Contact Enrichment with WhatsMyName appeared first on RecruitingDaily.

So what does this platform bring to the table? There’s a decent amount of filters to narrow your search such as experience levels, past job titles, and even company headcount. You can also use their reverse search section to look up a contact based on limited information. This reverse lookup feature can definitely can go toe-to-toe with other contact enrichment platforms.

They’re expanding the feature list to include radius searches, custom boolean strings, and more features to stand out from the crowd. While this platform has been around for a while, sourcing with swordfish is still in its early stages.  They released their contact finding tool in the same fashion and built it into something quite notable, so there’s great potential for them to do the same here.

We’re looking forward to seeing their sourcing tool Prospector grow over the next few months. If you don’t already have an account, when you sign up there will be some free credits to let you play around.

At a glance, this site can very quickly help you understand who the heavy hitters in a company are, and how many people directly report to them.  With this information, you could very easily grasp important roles in these companies to set yourself up for success in a couple of key ways. Whether you just took a company on as a new client and want a fast and easy debrief, or you’re trying to figure out how important of a guy Brad from accounting is, this could solve all that…and fast.

The post Company Hierarchy Research Made Easy appeared first on RecruitingDaily.

Being one of the better tools out there for contact finding, it was kind of a no-brainer for them to expand into the people search game.  Their Chrome Extension is also a great tool for enriching contact information on social platforms. Sometimes you’ll have someone’s LinkedIn but want to get their work email, and if you’re on the page and click the extension it will find all associated social profiles, phone numbers and emails.

Note that this is a paid service, so with every paid tool we recommend you try it out yourself using the free trial and make your own decisions about it. Check out their people search capabilities and tell us what you think! We love getting a pulse check from the community about the good, bad, and ugly for platforms like this.

When it comes down to it, you have a lot of options for enterprise level sourcing suites, so it’s good to know that other organizations are punching their way into this space. Competition usually begets innovation and drives down costs for us sourcers, so this is a win for us even if you choose not to use it.

The post Nymeria Upgrades Their Platform With People Search Capabilities appeared first on RecruitingDaily.

It’s more complicated than just shopping around CEO Action, as C-level emails are a bit hard to come by.  So, the real question is: what do you actually do with this fragmented information to get an email address? That’s where some creativity comes into play.

The Process

So, we know two things: their company and their full names. Seems like a long shot, right? Well, luckily corporate email addresses mostly all follow the same conventions. As long as you know their unique format we can take an educated guess.

Email-format.com is a great place to start. There are hundreds of sites like this, but we like that this one shows the most likely formats. Once you figure out the conventions, you can plug it into email-checker.net/validate to verify if the mailbox is available. Boom, executive email sourced.

If you get the green light, try sending them a thoughtful, personalized email. Remember, these people are busy and anything that sounds generic is gonna get ghosted, dumpstered, or even worse..flagged as a promotion.

It’s hard to find a halfway decent employee, never mind one to fill the biggest shoes in the company. If you’ve been tasked with this…best of luck, God’s speed, and may the source be with you.

The post How to Hunt A Unicorn: The Quest for Executive Emails appeared first on RecruitingDaily.

Basically, this app takes your query and filters a search for only socials. It’s more than likely just constraining your search with some straightforward boolean phrases, but it gets the job done quite effectively.  There’s not a whole lot to be said about this service, other than it gives you a quick and straightforward way to source social media accounts with the push of a button.

The chrome extension, while helpful, isn’t strictly necessary to use this search function. Their main search page does the same thing if you don’t want to bother with having YET ANOTHER extension bloating your browser bar. We get it, the sourcer’s toolbox only has so much room in it.

In the tutorial, Dean Da Costa goes through a few steps to take advantage of Google Lens as well. If your curiosity is piqued, then you’re in luck! Dean made a video on Google Lens and how to take advantage of their tasty Reverse Image Search features.

As a potential hire, pay transparency comes with the opportunity to negotiate without trying to play a game of battleship. But, as a sourcer, this means you can now find people within your target salary range a hell of a lot easier. Make the Blue Devil turn green by pulling salary information from LinkedIn!

When the pot boils down, nobody’s trying to move to a new company for less money. With tools like Estim8, you don’t have to waste your time on individuals who are already raking in more cash than what you can offer them.

Has this happened to you lately? You get a nibble, start communication, and then have to go back to the drawing board because the candidate already makes 15k more than the role your offering? Well, if you’re trying to find candidates in the tech industry, we recommend pulling LinkedIn salary information with Estim8.

To clarify, at the moment this tool only sources salaries for software engineering roles in the US. They have plans to extend their abilities to other industries so if you aren’t sourcing these positions keep them in mind.

The post Easy LinkedIn Salary Information for Software Engineers appeared first on RecruitingDaily.

This website has broken down the entire boolean language into its basic components. Every one of these phrases has a detailed description and use case pinned next to it, so while you build your search string you can learn in the process. There’s a handful of phrases that everyone seems to be able to wrap their head around, but building your vocabulary is gonna send you so much further! “Insite:” “or” and “filetype:” will only get you so far.

It has list of recommended file name extensions to work along descriptors like “filetype:”, as well as definitions for how Google likes to interprets wildcards (such as “*”, “.”, and “+”). In all honesty it’s a pretty rad piece of free technology, so much that it even comes with a “Warning: for educational use only” clause at the top. Not too shabby for a free boolean builder, huh?

There are pre-built boolean phrases for searching less than honorable things like people’s passwords and detecting hackable websites, so please use this with care. Dean recently told us a story about how he facilitated an FBI bust on a scammer, so if you aren’t virtuous with the tech he shares…HE’LL FIND YOU.

Dorksearch is great, it’s free, no ads, no login nonsense, and you learn stuff. Easy recommendation. Check it out now!

The post DorkSearch Might Be Too Powerful of a Free Boolean Builder appeared first on RecruitingDaily.

On its own, Gitter is a GitHub chat helper application. It has indexed all of the public conversations between developers working on projects together on GitHub, and by doing so has accidentally (or on purpose) indexed all of these devs on Google.  The site itself seems to navigate with a certain level of hassle our quick hands are not a fan of, however.

Google X-ray is Your Best Friend

You’re welcome to try and leverage the site itself to find developers, but its not designed exactly for that. If you want to speed things up (if you havent noticed Dean is all about speed) then Xray will be your best friend.  Just site:gitter.im/ “insert developer type here” and the fun begins.

Now, just find a suitable link to a project that lines up with your job description. You should already see a list of users involved in the project in the top right. If you hover over each user, out pops a contact card with names, locations, and those fabled email addresses. 

It seems like you can add location parameters to Xray quite easily, giving you another way to refine your search. Despite the world being remote preferred, there are still many employers out there that want an in-house developer.

GitHub Scraping Made Easy

If you’re trying to scrape these users, DataMiner seems to be the way to go. It’ll require some finesse to acquire the tables, but github scraping should be butter for a sourcer, right? Once you get it locked down you’ll be chugging right along.

Some users have their emails hidden, so scraping everyone might not be possible. But, those individuals would be out of reach on GitHub regardless of if you used Gitter or some other means.

Remember, this is a platform that follows user comments. The reason that’s so great is people who comment are usually those sought-after active users. It should make all the difference in your scraping endeavors to know that these contacts at the very least communicate with others.
