The 40+ Sourcing Tools We Cannot Live Without

booleanstrings Uncategorized 5 Comments

We’ve had a great list of tools contributed by 80+ members of the Boolean Strings LinkedIn group to the question:

“What are the sourcing tools you can’t live without? Please list some favorites.” and another 30 or so on the Boolean Ning Network – http://booleanstrings.ning.com/forum/topics/what-are-the-sourcing-tools

I thought I’d list some of the tools I use daily, to add to the discussion. Of course, there’s some overlap with those listed already. I am only listing free tools here, or tools where there’s a nice free option. Here you go.
