Jobvention. 10 sourcing tools for IT recruiters. IT sourcing takes a great deal of recruiter’s time. Of course as a technical recruiter you have your tips and tricks, proven methods and techniques that work and let you find the most valuable tech talents. But believe me, in each field, there is always a room for improvement. That’s why we looked for sourcing tools that can improve your recruitment process. There are a couple of social recruiting tools, also called social aggregators which on one hand utilize social connections to make it easier to find candidates who would be referrals, and on the other crawl social profiles, compile rich candidate profiles from candidate activity across the web and social media. This lets IT recruiters see skills, abilities, passions, and creativity at a glance rather than after hours (or days) of search and communications.

(That’s why sharing a “Boolean string” is rarely enough to tell others how you have searched). Results depend on our locations, using Google.com vs. country-based Google, a language (other than English), and other variables. Searching on a mobile device can show different result pages than the desktop, too.

Telling Google that we are searching from a different country is a reasonable way to find more relevant results, but it doesn’t work smoothly. After all, Google is rightly suspicious of users who appear to be searching from far-away countries within minutes.
