Source: eGrabber Keywordese is the ability to use keywords in a search to find a desired result. Smart recruiters use not one but a 'bunch' of keywords for each job title/requirement. By using related and other relevant keywords in your search you not only get more candidate leads to work with but also, believe it or not, have better chance at improving candidate match quality. So, how do you create a keyword list? 1. Use job portals 2. Talk to people/ candidates you worked with before, who are employed in a similar position and ask them for words they use to describe peers' job position. Remember, whether you search your existing resume database or research profiles and resumes on social networks, search engines and job boards, keywords can be a differentiating factor.
