This is what I want to do…

Let’s share strategies! Let’s share cool tools! Tell me how you think!.

Tell me your strategy.

1 Search for people who can be connected via social media

"dm me" cloud.computing "find me on * " cloud.computing "network with me on * " cloud.computing "let's connect on * " cloud.computing "skype me at * " cloud.computing "tweet me at * " cloud.computing "join me on on * " cloud.computing "follow me on * " cloud.computing

More searches to try:

Oh! Searching on cloud.computing and “cloud computing” will return the same results.

Tell me your strategy.

2 Find people who have multiple versions of their resume online

When I did the search in French, I found resumes written in *French. Great for international sourcing!"

Yeah!

"my CV" | "my resume" cloud.computing "download my resume" cloud.computing "download my cv" cloud.computing "my vitae" cloud.computing "download my resume" intitle:for | of | my cloud.computing " télécharger mon cv " l'informatique intitle:de

More searches to try: site:*.brandyourself.com “cloud computing” site:flavors.me “cloud computing” site:vizify.com intitle:bio “cloud computing” site:hi.im “cloud computing” site:pixelhub.me “cloud computing” site:zerply.com “cloud computing” site:visualize.me “cloud computing”

You may want to try a search on “Let’s Lunch” as well.*

Tell me your strategy.

5 Find company employees on Twitter

Keep in mind that not all companies have public twitter lists of their employees.

Its still a decent hack.

I honestly don’t know. What do you think?

6 Track people by URL shorteners

site:tinyurl.com ("software * engineer" | "software developer") (he | she) -jobs -apply

site:bit.ly ("software * engineer" | "software developer") (he | she) -jobs -apply

site:goo.gl ("software * engineer" | "software developer") (he | she) -jobs -apply Not sure if this is cool or not but, it seems to

work well.

So, what’s going on with this search? People share shortened links on social media. By focusing my search on short URLs, I am sourcing leads from info that people have been sharing online.

More short URLs to try:

site:Ow.ly site:Su.pr

I honestly don’t know. What do you think?

Look up the hottest articles about cybersecurity.

7 Attract talent to you by sharing interesting content

Now you have recruitment advertising on all the articles you share with a Sniply URL.

Too cool!

Hat tip to @mobidextrous

I have a few tips, but I would love to hear yours.

I’ll go first.

8 Find competing technology in order to loosen up job requirements

Having trouble finding “ruby” developers? Ask your client if they are open to competing

products like Java, C# or Perl.

This works on Google too. Just sayin’…

9 Get involved with communities that are exploding with growth

An Incomplete List of Communities on Slack — Medium http://buff.ly/1JW13rw

Start a group on Slack! Why? • More attention, low

competition • Higher engagement since its

real –time • Its free

Read: How and Why to Create a Community With Slack http://buff.ly/1Q1zXAx

“Slack” is a real-time messaging app. Mostly co-workers use it to stay in touch with one another. (Reminds me of Yammer.)

10 Find software developer emails in computer code

11 Source leads from the courtroom!

Would lawyers call up an expert witness that was

incompetent? (I doubt it.)

Okay, your turn! What cool tools are you using these days?
