✨ A timeless thought

When you’re onboarding new hires, tell them *why* they were hired. It gives folks a huge boost of confidence right when they need it. It’s also a chance to positively reinforce a strength ID’d in interviews. Every company should do this, it’s stupid simple but powerful.

The two main goals of onboarding are: - a sense of accomplishment - a sense of belonging Yada yada process whatever. This is what’s important.

šŸ’Æ Tips & hacks of the week

šŸŽ‰ Check whether an email or phone is registered on LinkedIn in 5 seconds or less

Looking for professionals whose social online footprint is minimal? The ā€œhackā€ does not reveal which member it is – it only returns a Yes/No answer. But it is a validation pointer for the contact phone number or email address you are looking to verify, or, in a different scenario, trying to guess the email or the missing phone digits.

Pace yourself! If you start seeing cows or sheep to rotate, changing your IP address/try registering a new account to check if the email is already in usešŸ‘‡

šŸ“š Reading

Here are a few things that I've been reading this week:

šŸ’Ŗ Sourcing on GitHub: A How-To Series

In the penultimate edition, we scratched the surface on recruiting through Github. I included a 4 min video that covers the basics. Let’s dive a little deeper today.

āš”ļø Part 1: How to Search for GitHub User Profiles

GitHub when used correctly is an absolute honey hole for tech recruiters, but the platform's design just isn't sourcing-friendly. Learn how to hack the process throughout this how-to series šŸ‘‡

Resources mentioned in this video:

  1. GitHub Search Bar: https://github.com/search

  2. GitHub Advanced Search: https://github.com/search/advanced

  3. DeveloperDB: https://www.developerdb.com

  4. OctoHunt: https://octohunt.com ("Available for Hire" is based on User settings - similar to LinkedIn Recruiter's "Open to Opportunities")

  5. Git Awards: https://git-awards.com

  6. SeekOut: https://seekout.io/github

If you don’t have time to watch the video then here’s a quick cheat sheet that explains the basics of how to search for users using GitHub's search bar

šŸ“ˆ Part 2: How to Assess a GitHub User’s Profile

Major topics include: searching for profiles, evaluating users, finding associated social links and contact information, & using this intel to craft warm, personalized messages.

šŸ˜Ž Creative Sourcing Hacks to Recruit Candidates

Learn everything about sending free videos over LinkedIn to candidates, sourcing amazon reviews for potential candidates, scraping Facebook and Linkedin groups using Phantombuster, sourcing on Google Code Jam competitions, finding a ton of potential leads using old layoff lists & more.


šŸš€ Recruitment tool/plugin of the week

Every week I recommend one plugin, tool, or product that can help recruiters become better at work:

šŸŽ‰ Checkout SearchAll — It’s the easiest way to access different search engines. Switch among the most widely used search options, so that searching the same terms on different search engines is just one-click away.

Another one similar to this is All in one web searcher. It’s is a simple yet powerful extension to search multiple sites with ZERO click. Add sites to search, customize the order and search anywhere quickly.


šŸ“ Interesting resources & cheat-sheets

Here are a few interesting resources, cheat-sheets and curated materials:

  1. šŸ”„ Formulas for searching Facebook — For any questions you may have about how to #OSINT #SOCMINT on #Facebook, check out this living document

  2. šŸš€ Boolean & Advanced Search Operator Cheat Sheets ft. Google, LinkedIn, Indeed, & GitHub
