Feel free to use a fake name (e.g., Recruiter1, Yoda, etc.), and you can even use a fake email address so there is absolutely no way anyone, including me, can identify you. You can choose to remain anonymous and not identify yourself when leaving your comment and your search strings/strategy.You can let the world who you are and what you can do, or….If sourcing isn’t something you’re responsible for – please forward this to someone who would like to participate. I would like you to comment on this post with your search string(s) and a brief overview of your analysis and approach to searching your source(s) of choice if you were responsible for finding and hiring someone for the position detailed below.

This leads me to an experiment and a demonstration of sorts and I sincerely hope you will participate. Let’s Prove a Point to the Recruiting World

Unlike professional athletes and musicians whose skills and techniques are on display and scientists who publish their work, sourcers and recruiters responsible for talent discovery have absolutely no public basis of comparison. Much of the magic of talent discovery and identification, or lack thereof, happens on each person’s computer screen. In many organizations, sourcers and recruiters do not get (or seek out) the opportunity to compare and contrast their search strategies and tactics with their peers and/or managers on a position-by-position basis. Would 5 different recruiters working the same position use the same search strings and search strategy? Would they find the same people if they used the same source? This fact leads (too) many people to believe that finding talent online is easy and that there is no competitive advantage to be gained in the practice of searching human capital data.

One of the most interesting yet overlooked aspects associated with sourcing candidates using the Internet, job board databases, ATS/CRM systems and social networks such as LinkedIn is that as long as your syntax is correct, every search “works.”
