Recruiter's Essential Tips

Source: eGrabber Newsletters In the past year or so, eGrabber has published a number of Google resume search strings (scripts) and techniques in its newsletter for the recruiting community. But, these search scripts when used one at a time might not give you desired results. Often, a combination of these scripts can get the best results. For, example, to search for resumes of Certified Public Accountants in Missouri that contain phone numbers, you could use the following search string: CPA (intitle:resume | inurl:resume) (Missouri | MO) (314 | 636) -job -apply -submit In the above example, we have used the intitle and inurl Google logics. We have also programmed Google to remove job openings from the results. By mentioning the area code / phone code we make sure that we get resumes with phone numbers. Similarly, you can search resumes of candidates that are location specific, from websites, communities and networks of your choice, and more.
