New online sourcing tool - it's AMAZING!

Has anyone used PDeGrabber’s new sourcing software for Recruiters? It’s great!

While consulting with companies on the most effective and efficient method of sourcing candidates, I recently stumbled on this software. It’s AMAZING! As owner of PARADIGM, I never intended to get involved with software; but once I realized how much more effective it was at identifying candidates, I wanted to share it with everyone in my network. We all know that the most time intensive part of a Recruiters job is finding the right candidate. And Rifle hunting is always more effective than using a shotgun.

PD eGrabber’s Resume Grabber acts as a super search engine that creates search queries and then combs every portal on the internet – Linkedin, Craigslist, job boards, Google, Yahoo, etc. You input the title you are searching for, it populates a customizable list of words that are the definition of what your targeted position is. So, if you input “Financial Analyst”, the list will include “financial analysis”, “modeling”, “ad hoc” “financial statement analysis”, “macros”, “MBA”, etc. The software allows you to add or subtract words from the list, as well as select which ones are more important (or required). You click “Search” and within minutes PDeGrabber returns a list of candidates in a neat Excel file with all of the candidates’ contact information separated into cells. You can then download all of the resumes (or only the ones you select) directly into your database.

Why this is so great?
• With only a few clicks, you can search every portal on the internet rather than having to log into each job board separately.
• PD eGrabber’s semantic search technology allows you to source job seekers (both active and passive) to find exact matches. If you input “Financial Analyst”, you’ll get a true “Financial Analyst” rather than a bank teller who has added key words to his/her resume.
• Searches can be fully customized for your company and can be saved for future use.
• The boss will be amazed at your ability to identify perfect candidates for his/her hiring need almost immediately

Please join me any time for a quick 15 minute demonstration of how this software can save you both time and money. As the economy rebounds, hiring will increase – and there’s nothing worse than scrambling for candidates to fill a dozen urgent new openings at the same time!

Send me an email and I’ll send you the Webex information to see the demonstration. It's really helped me a lot in my recruiting firm.

Happy Sourcing!
