Boolean Strings for Building Email Lists
What follows is a how-to post. Being short of InMails while sourcing in an industry, where those few who are on LinkedIn never open InMails, is a challenge. Emails have a better response rate and often, instant replies, at least in my experience recruiting Registered Nurses. I am not going to talk about email-finding tools – there are plenty of …
How to Find and Take Advantage of 100% Used Email Format
We all know that contact-finding is a big deal in Recruitment. I have recently started to pay attention to companies that have a 100% followed email format such as first.last@company.com. Those companies are my friends! If I have an employee’s first and last name, I can confidently construct his or her email address. I use this knowledge in two ways. …
Profile Export Hack in Recruiter
LinkedIn loves its import. It lets us upload phone books, contact lists, resumes, salaries, identify professional relationships, job hunt preferences, company information, and more.

Three Sites for Healthcare Sourcing
As I am running a recruiting project searching for Registered Nurses in NYC and Indianapolis, the main challenge remains. It is finding potential candidates’ contact information or ways to message.

Two Sourcing Methods: “Backwards” and “Shooting In the Dark”
I have described the Backwards Method in the previous post. To summarize: Step 1 – collect as many email addresses as possible from pages that may contain relevant ones. Get emails from Google results, pages containing contact lists, anything remotely promising. But probably keep your searches returning only results from the past 2-3 years since both emails and careers get …

I am truly excited to be sourcing for COVID-19 Treatment trials. It’s like a dream come true! It is both helping and getting much deeper experience (and fun) sourcing in the Healthcare industry. We need to find: Registered Nurses Clinical Research Coordinators in NYC and Indiana, several people for each of the four openings, and it’s urgent. Unlike in our …
How Many Results Do You Wish to Get?
There is always a limit on the number of search results you can view. It is 1,000 on LinkedIn with any account. On Google, you will not get more than 300-500 results for any search. If you are a “perfectionist” and always want to see as many results as possible (and maybe with the Verbatim filter), sorry, you are wrong. …

15 Unique Features of Custom Search Engines
As my friends know, I have been fascinated by Google’s Custom Search Engines (CSEs) for years. I have met several colleagues who have become as addicted to CSEs as I am; I feel as if we belong to a tribe. 🙂 I remain disappointed by the apparent CSEs’ low penetration into our industry tools. Part of the undeserved unpopularity is …
