Tips for sourcing profiles using Internet without Naukri or Monster

Everyone knows how to source profiles from Naukri or Monster. But do you know more than 50% of positions are filled without the use of these sources.  I guess everybody understands that anyone can source profiles from job portals, actual capability of recruiter is known only if he/she is able to source profiles from other mediums.

To help our referrers, we have put some of easy internet tips for sourcing profiles.  These means are only useful when the targeted candidate is an internet savvy person.  Also it is an understood fact that these tips are not fastest means of sourcing profiles, but if used effectively they are the best and the cheapest means to get profiles.

1.       Linkedin:  Linkedin.com is the most premium source for finding people and by far the most professional social networking website you can easily find people with background of IT, Sales, Marketing and Finance here.

 

There are few important points you need to take care. Keep your LinkedIn profile fully updated. Connect with as many people as possible. Become an open networker on LinkedIn by sharing your contact details on the profile. Start doing job postings in relevant groups, don’t post two many jobs as people might consider you as a spammer

 

You can also search through profiles on LinkedIn which makes it’s extremely handy when you are targeting a very niche crowd, the only problem is you might not necessarily find contact details of the person.  To be able to search more people you need to have more connections, But you can send message to them if you belong to the same group in LinkedIn, also try to search in other social networks like orkut, from which you can connect to this person, last but not the least way could be calling them up on there corporate board line :P .

 

2.       Orkut & Facebook:  Orkut & Facebook are informal social networks, you find all sorts of people there. The best way to target people here is dropping scraps or messages to them. You can target the right candidate by searching either on skill sets or educational background, another way of identifying is looking people from relevant technology or educational communities. Try adding as many people as possible also make sure that they know you are recruiter who is hunting for people. This will increase your chances for connecting with them if they are looking for a change.

 

3.       Free Job posting websites which are targeted towards niche skill sets attract lot of good candidates make sure you post your jobs there.

 

4.       Blogging is another means of sourcing good profiles as most websites are search engine optimized, your blogs are read by all sorts of people searching for jobs or related information, make sure you share the jobs which are hot with you and also share some career or recruitment related advice so that you can build instant rapport with people reading your blog, you can also get advise related information from various other internet sources. This is very successful means of sourcing good profiles.

 

5.       Posting jobs on Yahoo and Google groups has been another very successful means of getting profiles, only thing you need to make sure you are member of the right groups which are related to jobs or technology or education.  Also keep posting jobs in new groups to reach to more and more people. Don’t mind posting jobs on groups even if they are small in size.

 

6.       Google: Google is a known means for searching anything on net, but what most people don’t realize is it is very good means to search for profiles, many people maintain there professional profiles on there personal websites. They can be easily searched using Google, you can use keywords like ‘Resume’ India and skill sets depending on what you are looking for,  also you can set Google Alerts for certain niche skill set. This gives you an email as soon as any body updates appropriate information on the web. This is a very powerful means to search for profiles on web. And can be utilized to your benefit. 

 

You can also search for various databases stored on the web by searching for email id with using a combination of filetype: xls, this will search through all excel sheets with relevant information.  Say you want to search for people from a company named XYZ, most probably there company mail id would ending with xyz.com.  So you can identify database with his mail id by putting search keyword as @xyz.com filetype: xls

 

I am hopeful that these tips would be found useful by our referrers. If you have any more tips feel free to add them on our comments section in the blog.
