Diversifying your searching toolkit is gonna keep that “conveyor belt buffet” of professional pools circulating. One great Pu Pu Platter to add to your utility belt is a sourcing search platform. While you can certainly get by without subscribing to one of these platforms, you’d be playing the game on “hardcore” difficulty.

[Full Transparency: I have not received any money to review this tool]

Seekout has carved out a huge stake in the sourcing industry, growing along with the community into the behemoth we all now know. Their database of over 700 million juicy Seekout candidates is impressive, and so is their commitment to continued growth.

Believe it or not, Seekout started with a humble 100 million contacts back in 2018. They’ve come a long way with their search-ability, UI improvements, and advanced filtering since then. The rapid growth is encouraging, especially since Seekout’s candidate database just keeps on growing. It’s reassuring to know the money I’d be spending on Seekout will be reinvested back into making it even better.

Seekout Candidates by the Millions

Seekout’s candidate list has been updated, which presents a glowing opportunity! We have ourselves some fresh leads to work with! There’s 60 million organic, wild-caught, grass fed professionals to reach out to! Get on their good side before these contacts cool off and mentally check out to anything that even remotely looks like a job offer.

Dean Da Costa also hints at upcoming features to the platform in a future update. Keep an eye on Seekout if you’ve been seriously considering a sourcing platform for your workflow. We’re interested to see what new features they bring to the table; luckily Dean loves news like this.  If you’re a big fan of videos like these, check out all of his work here.

The Sauce

To seek out new talent and undiscovered places to find them,

• A “lot” of OSINT tools
• Chrome extensions
• Tools

• Tricks

Not to mention the inevitable materialization of Interactive Q&A with Dean himself – he’s kind of a big deal.

Like many others, this particular OSINT Toolkit contains a regularly updated list of the most useful scripts and search tools out there. Let’s get into the mud and focus on what sets this platform apart from the rest.

The collection divides across multiple categories to help you quickly find the right tool when you need it. There are dedicated pages for searching usernames on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Google. Conveniently enough, you can even keyword search through emails, documents, and websites. 

One thing that we haven’t seen in other collections is the list of bookmarklets. As the name suggests, you can save these links as a bookmark in your browser and trigger a unique function.

For instance, there’s a List Email Links bookmark that instantly extracts all the emails from a page so you don’t have to sift and scroll your way through all the content by yourself. 

This OSINT Collect can be accessed online at one-plus.github.io for free. Since you’re a fan of Dean Da Costa’s teaching style, he has an upcoming presentation this Feb 24th! Dean unveils his secret library of sourcing tools, so be sure to register for this event on Feb 24th.

OSINT Essentials is Eoghan Sweeney’s, an open-source investigation specialist and trainer, contribution to this space that’s putting all the free tools in an accessible place. 

With several dozen hand-picked tools, the website lays everything out in neatly defined categories. Here are some notable mentions: 

• People Search. There are half a dozen tools in this category to help you find people online based on the limited information you have. 
• Facebook. A worthy example from this category is the “Who Posted What?” tool. You can use it to find people who shared a post with your target keyword and filter the results by time. 
• YouTube.“Youtube GeoFind” from this category has potential for creative applications as it lets you uncover videos from any location. You can filter results with radius parameters, keywords, dates, duration, and more. Although this only works for videos with geotags attached to them. 

Dean Da Costa has reviewed a whole host of OSINT based technologies. For more of him diving into these systems, click here. To see the entire suite of solutions available within this pack, you can visit the OSINT Essentials site here.

The team at Aware Online Academy specializes in training people for hunting down the information they need across the vast expanse of the world wide web. In fact, the organization is tested by and registered with the Centre for Post Initial Education Netherlands (CPION), with over 5 years of operational experience. 

So it should come as no surprise that they created a library of OSINT tools to help their instructors and students to put on their detective hats and find the metaphorical needle in the haystack of bits and bytes. 

The OSINT training academy has been generous enough to share its collection of OSINT scripts with the public for a grand total price of zero dollars. For headhunters, the following categories of tools will prove most helpful: 

• People
• Usernames
• Email addresses
• Phone numbers
• Companies
• And social media

That said, the tools are mostly pre-written search queries to which their website adds your keywords and then forwards them to the relevant search engines. Nonetheless, this collection offers a simpler alternative to memorizing all those strings and typing them out manually. 

You can check the Aware Online OSINT tools collection at their official website.
