Search Engine results are a great source of potential candidates and referrals.
Yes, using Search Engines are "a little technical" at first but once you understand the Boolean search logic and what happens behind the scenes when using Search Engines you will be blown away with what you can find on the Internet.
All Search Engines Are NOT Created Equal!
You will find there is only about a 15 – 20% crossover of search results you will receive from one Search Engine compared to another.
All Search Engines don’t return the same results as they index different parts on the Internet.
To demonstrate, copy and paste the identical search into Google, Yahoo and Bing and see what results you get!
The Search:
site:au.linkedin.com "mechanical engineer" "perth area, australia" -intitle:recently -intitle:directory -inurl:dir
Suprised, did you get different results?
As a recruiter, if you are only searching using one search engine you are essentially ignoring a very significant potential Talent Pool.
Attend Insidejob upcoming Recruitment Training programs and learn how to use Advanced Internet Search techniques to tap into professional and social media channels you didn’t think existed until now!
