Thanks to Jessica Merrell @blogging4jobs for letting me guest blog for her! This post can help you hire the right talent the first time when looking at military veterans.
Talent Net Live panel discussing talent, networks, pools, and communities. Gareth Jones had some illuminating points, with some great advice about multiplying your efforts through passionate and invested coworkers/employees.
Everyone can become a marketer, recruiter, out advocate. @garelaos
While I was recruiting for the Texas Army National Guard, I had a Sergeant Major that always said “Spin your all your plates.” He was referring to those performance acts from the 80s where some guy or gal grabbed their fine china and balanced them by using centrifugal force spinning on sticks.
Think of your search engines as the plates that are being spun, and a pipeline of candidates make for a great performance. I know it’s a stretch for an analogy, but we’ll just go with it.
Think of all the search engines at your disposal. Google and Bing will get you great results, but if you aren’t using other resources out there, you are missing out on some prime candidates. I wanted to share what search engines I use, and encourage you to share as well in the reply. Below are some of the search engines that I use.
Search Engine Use
Google: Everything
Bing: Everything
Indeed: Job Descriptions, Key Words, Sourcing Candidates
Yandex: Sourcing Candidates (Thanks @JimStroud)
Brupt: Contact Lists, Candidate Sourcing (some)
Topsy: Candidate Sourcing, Real Time Social Media Search
Blekko: Candidate Sourcing
Google CSE: Create your own custom search engine (Thanks @braingain and @MikeNotaro)
