In this particular video, Dean will be going through a few sections of his free sourcing tool. The focus will be on Databases, Sites & Tools, Word Lookup, Salary Info, and Work Email Lookup.

He has links to quite a few interesting databases: FEC government employees, Microsoft employees, college alumni, and more.

We hope you get as much out of Dean’s tech as we have!

Pro Version? Isn’t this a free sourcing tool?

So, Dean likes to be a big ole tease when it comes to his advanced version of the tool. It’s not a paid resource, and we doubt you could even get it from him by throwing bills in his face. He only offers the more complex version every 3 or 4 months at various live events he attends.

He updates and adds to this pro tool, so every public release has new features.  The next release window will be hosted by RecruitingDaily, coincidentally!  Our virtual September 28-29th #HRTX event has a segment dedicated for Dean called Hacking Tech Talent.  Definitely check it out if you’re enjoying his tool but want more out of it!

We recommend starting with the free version, however. The pro version has so many additional options that if you aren’t familiar with how Dean’s tool works, you might just get a little lost in the sauce. It’s an overwhelming amount of extra options that might intimidate someone who just wants to use it for simple searches. But just like with a wild black stallion, once you tame this tool you’re basically the coolest person ever.

This nifty bit of tech has quite a few features, so today Dean is gonna break the site down to show you how to get the most out of it.  If you pay attention, he’ll also be showing a way to get free insider access to his advanced boolean search page with even more capabilities.

The basics of this boolean search tool

While it may seem as if this tool is a website, it only works as a download.  Dean doesn’t have these links publicly hosted, so to get access to it you need to download that portion of his web page.  You can still bookmark it like a normal site, and you’ll never have to worry about it not working correctly.

So what exactly are we getting with this boolean search tool? Well, there’s a bunch of pre-built x-ray terms that you can auto populate Google with, which will cut down your custom search time drastically once you get the hang of it.  If you aren’t particularly strong in your boolean Jedi force powers this would be an excellent way to learn while still doing your job.
