Internet sourcing techniques

Internet recruiting is slowly but surely catching on in this part of the world. Time is not far off when we will have to increasingly employ internet search for finding resumes, but of course this is besides the traditional method of sourcing.

I’ve been doing a bit of research on the net and managed to compile some of the most commonly used techniques for internet recruiting and am glad to share this with you.

Before we try and understand the techniques for internet recruiting let us first understand what are the search engines mostly used by experience recruiters.

Some recommended search engines on the Web:

http://www.google.com/
http://www.live.com/
http://www.yahoo.com/
http://www.metacrawler.com/
http://www.atlavista.com/
http://www.dogpile.com/

The search strings for each of these search engines will vary and therefore to maximize your search please do read the tutorials in advance from the respective search engines site.

What techniques to use and when and under what circumstances to use will depend on how well you master each techniques. To achieve optimum success one must also have a fairly good idea about the recruitment industry, the specific job requirement, the key words within the requirement and also differentiate the "mandatory skills" from "good to have skills."

Some of the most common internet search techniques are as given below.

X-RAYING:
A method of looking inside a specific web site to find what's there. Using this technique, recruiters can find documents and web pages that aren't directly accessible via links on the main public home page. When you 'x-ray' a website, you effectively get to examine every document that resides there so long as they are not behind firewalls or password protected.

Example: To find any “software engineer” - could be a document/file or a word/phrase within a document that resides within the website Oracle.com.In Altavista search - host:oracle.com AND software engineerIn Google search - site:www.oracle.com AND software engineer

FLIPPING:
Flipping is an effective method used to find the relationships between web pages based on how they are hyperlinked together. This search is especially useful for finding people who have links to the company or have worked for a specific company.

Example: To find any “software engineer” – could be a document/file or word/phrase that links back to Oracle.com.In Altavista search - link:oracle.com AND software engineerIn Google search - link:www.oracle.com AND software engineer

PEELING BACK:
As the name suggest Peeling back is the process of “retracing the path” of the url especially when one gets an Error 404 (File not found). This process is engage so as to locate the information elsewhere on the site or locate the specific “root” folder where one can find similar or additional data specific or related to the search.

Example: By peeling back or keying backspace starting from the point where the url ends we can then access the people link from the ce.uta.edu homepage and find the names of all the faculty members.url: http://www-ce.uta.edu/people/faculty/hoyos/research.html

HARVESTING OR MINING:
Harvesting involves reviewing a document, such as a resume or home page, and finding key words, links, references and locations that assist with subsequent searches.

SEARCH STRINGS USING BOOLEAN KEYS:By constructing complex search strings and conducting the search in major search engines one can hone in on the exact information/resources with great accuracy.

Some of the commonly used key words for a search string are given as below.
Common resume Words: Resume, Homepage, CV, Vitae, Bio, Qualifications, Objective, Experience, Education, References, "Work History", "Technical skills", "Project duration"Common words to avoid: Submit, Opening, Recruiter, Send, Benefits, Requirements, Opportunity, Apply, Job, Jobs, Careers, Eoe, Reply, "my client".

Example on how to construct a complex search strings:
Requirement: A project manager with PMI certification or a 6 Sigma black belt having atleast 5 years of project management within an Investment bank in the areas of Equities connectivity or trading software development. Must have good technical skills in J2EE, EJB, Websphere, XML and DB2.

Search strings credit to – Glenn Gutmacher of Advanced Online Recruiting Techniques

Google:
(intitle:~cv OR inurl:~cv OR intitle:resume OR inurl:resume) "project manager" Java "investment bank" ("equities connectivity" OR trading software) -inurl:~efinancial*
Search result: 87 pages

Yahoo:
(intitle:cv OR inurl:cv OR intitle:resume OR inurl:resume) “project manager” Java "investment bank" "equities connectivity" OR trading software -eoe -opening -post -preferred -reply -send –submit
Search result: 1,740 pages

Live Search:
(intitle:cv inurl:cv intitle:resume inurl:resume) prefer:resume “project manager” Java "investment bank" "equities connectivity" trading software -job -jobs –careers
Search result: 10,038 pages

The search results from the above three searches gives us different amount of results and the task of sieving through the hundreds of pages sounds rather a dauting task. However, the strings above could still be further refined so as to achieve a much more specific results. For example by including SCJP or Sun certification or SDLC, etc I believe one can derived at a much more accurate results.

Caveat:
If you, by applying the techniques as discussed above expects resumes to pop out every time you hit the search button you might end up disappointed and even frustrated. The internet is a storehouse of information and is just an augment to a recruiting process vis-a-vis bigger and better hunting ground and not a complete substitute.

*** Happy hunting folks!***

Sampion’s Cricket (thanks for ERA & Members)

Sampion’s Cricket (thanks for ERA & Members)
Date: 3rd November 2007
Time: 6:45 AM to 9:30 AM

Cricket is the sport that Indian's are most passionate about as it’s probably the only sport where we do well from time-to-time. The Indian cricket team is worshipped when it wins, but when it loses L its time to bring on the jokes… Now it is on…

Chennai Sampion’s participated in the day out plan organized by ERA… Guess what would have happened between 6:45 AM to 9:30 AM Yes its time for joke…. Ha ha ha.. Okay lets brief you more in detail on how individual played J.

6:45 Am to 7:25 AM

Cool wind was blowing and it was chilllllll J as it was raining yesterday. Ground was wet, muddy, the place was near the airport it was very close view to see plane landing from the sky zzzzzzz.! hope you are also feeling the same enjoyment, which we experienced.

OKAY lets introduce you all the heroes of Chennai Sampion’s Shanmugam, Anto, Vimal, Khan, Rajan, Sriram, Senthil, Rajasekar, Kannan (Director), Naresh and Vijayraj

Hey its not over, we all are still practicing with empty stomach in early morning, imagine after long years many of us got up from bed by 5:00 am and seen sun rising, guys it was really “COOOOL”. Cracking jokes, pulling each other legs. Throwing ball in force hitting each other with bats, making good practice catches, really practice make things prefect

7:30 AM to 9:30 AM Lets START the Real Game

Coin was tossed the opponent won and chose to bowl first with 12 overs. Opponent was ERA-Member, there were some national/state/college players. We were still confident with little dedicated practice.

We started the match with openers Amdocs team; runs were flowing from the first ball itself. It was great partnership, in the 4th over 2nd ball was uppppp in air near to boundary ooops got caught!! L the first wicket. Hey the next Infy hero is in hitting the ball for fours and sixes. One more ball uppppppp in the air!!! Hmmm you are right, it was a six. The hero was run out in next ball walking out from the pitch. The bowling team was enjoying the moment cheering their bowlers… Wait wait we too cheering up, motivating next batsman - youngest hero of team. Started again smashing balls scoring runs between wickets fastly. It was after 7th over wickets were started dropping out randomly. We have scored 67 runs out of 12 overs. Bating over our heroes were ramping up for fielding by sharing their experience about the pitch and ground.

The first bowler setting up the field every one gearing to catch balls, initiated bowling with great buoyancy. The scored singles in each ball of the first over. The weather seems to be raining…Drizzling…. Sampians took the first wicket in the second over…..a great catch and one more catch in the same over. Well said “If your team is mutual, the world will be on ur finger tips”. Pressure continued on the batsmen and started hitting the balls all the ways. Energitic, enthusiastic sampians were continuing their strong fielding especially our wicket keeper stopping the ball edged by the batsmen.

Climax---------We were left with the last two overs…… 10 runs in 12 balls to win for them. The bowler was tensed and the batsmen continued scoring runs between the wickets. Just 5 runs in 9 balls…still chasing….they were in good form to reach their victory…. 3 runs in 6 balls to win…. Keeping our finger crossed with confidence to win… Next 2 balls no runs…Again one more run…Oh Bagwaan agle ball paeh dhow runs L They won the match.

I think we are all slightly down in the dumps after loss. We may be in the wrong sign...Venus may be in the wrong juxtaposition with somewhere else.

There are no failures only feedbacks… Waiting eagerly for our next chance to prove our talents…. That is the spirit na… Lets cheer up and keep going…..
