Grokker.com A recruiters 2nd Best Friend

posted by 
Dakotta - (55)

Okay, so here is a tidbit about me. I have 10 best friends, yup 10 best friends. So you’re probably wondering how that works right? Well I happen to have SME’s (Subject Matter Experts) for various parts of my life (Professional, Spiritual, Family, Social, Shopping, Academic, Reality, Sports, Travel, and Sounding Board) but they all act as my ‘general council’.  It’s known “Wisdom is from the Council of many – Unknown”  What does this have to do with Grokker.com? Everything!

 

Every recruiter generally has a primary resource (mine happens to be Google) and now Grokker is my 3rd!

 

Grokker is amazing to say the least.

 

It Slices Web Pages, It Dices Content and ….

 

“ provides federated content access to libraries and enterprises, presenting results in topically organized visual formats that make it easier to conduct actionable research across broad fields.”

 

Translation:

 

In Grokker.com, type in “java resume Los Angeles” without the quotes.

 

You can sort by Date and Domain which make it 10x simpler. This is where Shally comes in and makes a cheat sheet for us :)

 

Does google have a new contender?
