Recruiters and hiring managers spend a lot of time to source resumes and extract resumes. Generally when you search for resumes in search engines, you get a lot of results. Along with the resumes, the search results also contain other unwanted information. So, to pick only the resumes from the search results, you need to manually click each result and check whether it is a resume or not, and then segregate the resumes alone from the search results. This is a time-consuming and tiresome task.

If you are well-versed with Boolean search strings, you can use various combinations of search strings to find only the resumes from the search results. But again, you need to manually execute each search script to source candidates from different locations, different skill sets, experience and various other criteria and it eventually takes away most of your productive hours which means there is every chance that you might lose a potential candidate or client. This is where a complete end-to-end sourcing software can help recruiters automate recruiting processes and stay ahead of the competition.

A candidate sourcing tool addresses all the problems faced by recruiters and hiring managers. The sourcing software helps you to source passive candidates as well as active candidates. All you need to do is just enter the resume keyword and click the Find button. The candidate sourcing tool instantly searches the Internet and displays 100s of resumes in a few seconds.

What’s more? With a click of a button, you can extract all the resumes from the search results to your database. In addition to search engine results, the resume extraction software helps you to extract resumes from your email folders, PC folders, job boards, social/professional networking sites, etc. 

Finally, the sourcing tool also helps you perform candidate background check on the selected candidates to find more information about the candidates. The sourcing software helps you speed up your recruiting processes and offers you more time to spend with your candidates and clients.

ResumeGrabber Suite is a complete end-to-end sourcing solution that helps you automate resume sourcing, resume screening and candidate background check processes. ResumeGrabber Suite has 100+ expert Boolean search strings that helps you source qualified resumes in no time.


In a recent newsletter we had mentioned how your success as a recruiter in future will be determined by how good you are in social media recruiting - building a community of potential candidates using LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.

Here are things you should do to increase your followers on Twitter:

    *      Have a detailed bio and a picture
    *      Follow people you know and invite them to follow you
    *      Search for people in your target talent pool. 
            (If you specialize in hiring CPAs, follow CPAs and get them to follow you)
    *      Use TweepSearch, PeopleBrowsr, Twellow, etc. to find people, categories and locations
    *      Tweet appropriate and useful content regularly
  
By setting aside time and doing this regularly, you can grow your network quickly.
