“Which tools are best at finding emails”? – seems to be every other question from Recruiters on Facebook groups, always triggering multiple answers.

A Tool, a Hack, a Link, and a Site
David Galley and I are obsessed with tools, hacks, links, and sites. On our Slack, we have a channel called “Interesting Links” that gets populated nearly daily. Where do we get the info? Facebook Groups, Recruiting Brainfood Newsletter, shares in Messenger by colleagues, tweets with the hashtag #OSINT, RSS feeds from selected sources, and always, Googling. Once in a while, …

The First Name @ Mass-Email-Finding Hack
Our online lives depend on little things. Slow performance and lack of functionality caused by limited computing power restrict our data gathering ability in seemingly small but consequential ways.

Hack: Find LinkedIn Members by Company Size

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.

It is a matter …

Hack: Use 500 Keywords, Not 32, on Google
Google’s limit of keywords is 32. It’s a challenge for long OR searches, especially for diversity sourcing – for example, searching for women’s first names, Latino last names, or diversity colleges. I am no fan of long ORs on Google (definitely not to list synonyms for a word), but in cases like the above, or searching for target companies or …
