Automate Boolean search and speed up candidate sourcing

Sourcing candidates is not a difficult task at all but sourcing the “right candidate” is. Recruiters source candidates from job boards, professional networking sites, online resume databases, internal database and various other sources. But the challenge lies in finding the best talent from the huge candidate pool.

A normal search on the Internet will not get you the right results. That is why, recruiters who are well-versed with Boolean search use Boolean search strings to source candidates. But, it takes a lot of time to source candidates using Boolean search scripts.

Let us see what a recruiter does to source candidates for a particular role.

   1. Search candidates in her internal database / Outlook emails or PC/system folders.
   2. Write Boolean search strings to source candidates from different job boards.
   3. Write Boolean search strings to source candidates from professional / social networking sites.
   4. Write Boolean search strings to source candidates from online resume databases/portals/blogs, etc.
   5. Write Boolean search scripts to search resumes or profiles through Google.
   6. Extract all the resumes / profiles from the search results.
   7. Screen the resumes and shortlist the candidates.

All the above steps are done manually and it consumes a lot of time. In addition, only a person who is well-versed with Boolean search scripts can write those complicated resume search scripts. If this is the case, what will novice recruiters do? This is where Boolean search string automation can be handy for a recruiter. It helps you automate Boolean search and save a lot of time that you can use more productively.

Why Posting Jobs Online is a Passive Strategy?

Posting jobs online is one of the most common activities that recruiters and hiring managers do whenever they have a job opening. But  Glen Cathey , one of the leading sourcing experts in the industry, has a different opinion. Glen, in his recent article, says that posting jobs online is a passive strategy. He also says that posting jobs online doesn’t offer control over the candidate qualifications, attracts only active job seekers and posting jobs online is not social. Here are a few points discussed in the article: Why posting jobs online is a passive strategy? Because there isn’t any action involved other than posting jobs and the recruiters wait for things to happen rather than identifying, attracting and hiring top talent.

You post a job ad with a specific qualification and experience but there is no guarantee that only those candidates will respond to your job posting. Anybody (unqualif...
