Sourcing News and Information for Recruiters

Greetings!

Sourcing Summit Europe, my favorite conference, is coming up on October 9-10, 2024, with an extra half-day online on the 8th - https://sourcingsummit.net/sosueu/. This year, it will also be live-streaming (if you cannot get to Amsterdam). My presentation will be on LinkedIn on the 8th. Use code IRINA10 for a 10% discount when registering.

Check out our new book, "Advanced LinkedIn Search Techniques for Recruiters," https://sourcingcertification.com/course/advanced-linkedin-ebook, covering everything you must know to source on LinkedIn, which the official documentation does not tell you. The book is packed with practical tips.

Our software site, https://braingainsoft.com/, has four sourcing tools. FYI Technical Recruiters: we are about to update the Github Tool https://braingainsoft.com/gh/index.html to help automate LinkedIn look-ups of the profiles.

LinkedIn Codes Discovery with SN. Are you familiar with LinkedIn hidden search operators? They are listed at https://booleanstrings.com/linkedin-search-operators. If you can access Sales Navigator, you can find out the codes to be used as operator arguments in the search URL. Here is how:

1. Select the desired values in the search dialog.
2. Copy and decode (urldecoder.org) the search URL.
3. See the codes. Example:

https://www.dhirubhai.net/sales/search/people?query=(recentSearchParam:(id:4094959580,doLogHistory:true),filters:List((type:COMPANY_TYPE,values:List((id:P,text:Privately%20Held,selectionType:INCLUDED))),(type:FUNCTION,values:List((id:18,text:Operations,selectionType:INCLUDED)))))

The search is for a private company (see the code "P"), function = Operations (code 18).

Happy Sourcing! ??
