Recruiters looking for work should check Google

Here is an excerpt of a recent post describing how to use Google to find hidden recruiter job opportunities. Hope it helps!

Judging by the Tweets, Emails and casual conversations I receive, the economy still sucks, especially if you are an unemployed, under-employed or unhappily employed Recruiter. Not too long ago, I gave a few tips on how Recruiters can find hidden job opportunities during a recession. Well, here are a few more. I have created a series of search strings that you can use to find hidden opportunities using the Google search engine. They will also work on Live and Yahoo, so feel free to try your luck there as well. As a treat, I am going to share with you search strings that I created manually and those that were made with the use of an automated tool. First, the manual strings.

How to source resumes from Scribd (Part 1)

Have you guys heard of Scribd? (www.scribd.com)

In so many words, its like a YouTube for documents. on any given month, 17 million people research Scribd for documents of all types. Since Scribd launched in March 2007, it has become one of the top 300 websites on the Internet, receiving over 20 million monthly visitors. It has also accumulated over 17 billion words in its library, making it five times the size of Wikipedia!!! Wow. That is a lot.

I have been familiar with Scribd for some time because of other projects I am involved with, but it was not until recently that I realized, “Hey, I wonder if there are any resumes in their growing database?”

Jim Stroud is giving away (and selling) his new book

I just completed a new book (a training guide actually) called - Resume Forensics. With my new book, you will learn:

* How to search Google for free resumes
* How to search Yahoo for free resumes
* How to search Live for free resumes
* How to find additional keywords for your resume searches
* How to create search strings that work on Google, Yahoo and Live
* How to take a job description and create multiple search strings from it. (As an example, I take one job description and create 56 pages of search strings from it.)
* How to automate your resume searches so you can (literally) source resumes while you sleep.

If you would like to get a free copy of it, go to the link below for
