The Sourcer's Daily Dozen by Glenn Gutmacher, King of the Search String

posted by 
Shally Steckerl (1968)

Glenn is the undisputed "king of search string." In the ever changing fast paced world of Internet sourcing there are those who are highly skilled in applying techniques, and with that gain a competitive advantage, but among those there are a rare few with the ability to adapt and create new techniques on the fly. Glenn is chief among them and has been practicing what he preaches for many years, creating and testing new techniques which have become the gold standard of Internet research. He has been right there with me since the very first moment I realized there were others out there who shared my passion for recruitment research. We have collaborated vastly over the years, with the end product of such collaboration undoubtedly being greater than a sum of its parts. 
 
This is why I am very pleased that ERE has made it possible for Glenn to share his wisdom with all of us during a one-of-a-kind webinar, "The Sourcer's Daily Dozen: E-Sourcing Methods from a Recruiting Research Guru." There is no cost to attend this event because it is underwritten by ERE and the sponsor, Jobscience.
 
If you have any interest in sourcing, this is an event you absolutely must attend. Glenn will be demonstrating the fastest no-cost methods to find resumes outside of the job boards by geography, # of direct reports supervised, and other criteria. He will show you how to find relevant, unblinded LinkedIn and other social network profiles quickly, even ones beyond your 3-degree network.
 
Over the last five years Glenn and I have collaborated on a number of effective bookmarklets, or browser scripts, that make is possible for you to run complex strings without having to remember all the boolean syntax and special search engine commands, and get ongoing, new relevant results automatically. During this event Glenn will be highlighting a few of those and letting you know how you can install them into any browser. Also during his session you will learn how to find alternative company names, job titles, and jargon that will reveal hidden leads.
 
 
Cheers,
Shally

webinar signups going gangbusters

Thanks for the kind words, amigo. I'm happy to say ERE informs me that over 900 had pre-registered as of 5/28, so I imagine we'll be well over 1,000 by game time. I'm not sure if they can actually *take* more than 1000 logins, however, so if anyone's interested, please sign up now and login at least a few minutes early!


Me too Shally, me too!

Oops, sorry guys, I was having a flashback.

Seriously, if you don't know the G-Man, you've been hiding under a rock. He's always been on the recruiting edge and has always gone above-and-beyond to not only educate but to support.

This webinar is a must if you are serious about sourcing and even more important, if you want to sell your bosses on how a regimented sourcing strategy is bottom-line.



it just ended - with 3,019 pre-registered!

Madeline at ERE was pleased to inform me that this session set a record for their free webinar series. I am so honored to have had so many attend, and all the positive emails I've been receiving. As I mentioned in the presentation, a number of the tips I shared came from Shally originally, so big thanks to him as well. More on my blog soon - Shally's got it linked under my name in his blogroll at top right, though a more direct URL is
