WEBINAR NOTES

[1] Refine your searches to lesser known domains such as .info, .name, .cc and others.
By doing so, you get access to resumes that you would most likely overlook. Here are a
few examples:

· intitle:resume education programmer java site:cc -example -sample -apply

· intitle:resume education programmer java site:info -example -sample -apply
· intitle:resume education programmer java site:name -example -sample –apply

[2] Refine your searches by country TLD (Top level domain) to find resumes hosted in a
certain country.

The example below is for finding java resumes in Australia.

 site:au intitle:vitae education programmer -your -submit –apply

Find a list of countries sorted by their TLD, go to: www.iana.org/domains/root/db/

[3] Search for resumes based on the various spellings of the word resume.

 intitle:resumé | intitle:résumé C++ education -submit –apply

 You can add the accent mark a few ways:

[4] Search for passive candidates based on how they speak. (Natural Language
Searching)

 “I am a Software Developer”
 “we made an iphone app”
 “Why I love Linux”
[5] Ask Google to fill in the blank on your search.

 I worked with * at Microsoft

 * was my manager at Microsoft
 according to * of Microsoft

[6] Use the Tilde ( ~ ) to search for a keyword and words synonymous with that
keyword. For example, search for ~CV. You will notice that certain words are highlighted.
These are words that Google thinks is synonymous with CV. Those words are: CV,
Curriculum, vitae and curriculum vitae.

A search for ~job is a search for jobs, salary, career, employment, recruitment and
vacancy.

For example:

intitle:resume –intitle:~job education verification.engineer –submit –apply

The above search string is asking Google to: Find documents with resume in the
title. Do not return results that have the word job, jobs, salary, career, employment,
recruitment or vacancy in the title. Find the term “Verification Engineer.” Do not return
the words submit or apply.

We discussed 2 very important Firefox extensions:

 First if you do not have Firefox on your system, you can download the browser here:
http://mzl.la/aFawq9

 Down them All: Download Link: http://www.downthemall.net/

 Down Them All: Video Demo: http://bit.ly/cyUbYy

Simply run your resume searches on any search engine. Click “Down them all” under the “tools” tab on the
menu bar. It’s self explanatory, but all you need to do is select the folder you want to download all of the
files and choose the specific files you want to download.

It’s recommended that you stick with any file that mentions the word resume or CV, etc. as well as any file
that is a DOC, PDF, HTML, TXT, etc. Tip: You can also use this to download mass MP3s.

Cool Preview: http://bit.ly/bMdk2D

Cool preview is a great app that will allow you to hover over any link and view the file without clicking the
link and leaving the results page. Depending on how you have your settings you will be able click the next
or previous arrows to browse all of the results through one box.
When using ReferYes Sourcer:

1. It’s important to understand that automated sourcing tools should compliment and
not replace your best practices.
2. ReferYes currently allows you to source dozens of practical ways to help uncover
talent that you may not have found otherwise.
3. It’s important to remember that when running profile search, business searches and
university searches that you pay attention to the various field’s ReferYes imports. This
is a great feature as ReferYes attempts to customize significant search options right
through their interface.
4. I recommend using Firefox and leverage the Firefox add-on’s mentioned above.
