Extra Cool Recruitment Tools

It seems that every week throws up more online tools being used by recruiters to research, identify and communicate with great candidates.  Here is a summary of new tools, including those developed by Recruitment Geek (Ben Carter) himself.

Recruitment Geek’s Tools

Before I give away everyone else’s freebies let me tell you about my own. I have recently developed a couple of tools that enable you to search Business Networks better and more efficiently!

1. LinkedIn Xray Search Tool (an x-ray tool allows you to search within a specific website only. Searching LinkedIn from the outside, usually returns more detailed results than when logged in)
2. Xing Xray Search Tool
3. Google+ Profile Xray Search Tool (under final development)

Other Free Tools

1. Falcon.io – A Google Chrome/Twitter plugin that will list all known / associated social networks based on a twitter handle that you hover over
