bookmarklets in nested folders with 3) clear text labels rather than one list of icons

1 Launch your Firefox browser and install the Add to Search Bar add-on

2 Now install the companion Firefox add-on Organize Search Engines that lets you organize

your search engines with separators and folders and customize the searches further

3 Now just go to whatever site search you want to add right mouse click in the regular

search box on the search sitersquos page and choose Add to Search Barrdquo which will add it to

the right-hand search list (per screenshot below) To remove re-order or customize

Custom sets of bookmarklets from

Bookmarklet Combiner

This is even better because 1) you have full flexibility on content (you will enter

custom JavaScript) 2) the set of bookmarks can be private or shareable and 3) it

is easy to add the set to your own browser (Chrome Firefox IE etc)

1 Go to Bookmarklet Combiner

2 In the first section (ldquo1 Enter bookmarkletsrdquo) type a logical bookmarklet name

in the Name field and paste the full JavaScript code in the URL field (see next

slide for a few basic but useful examples of JS-formatted bookmarklets to use)

3 Repeat previous steps with additional bookmarklets (click gray ldquoAdd anotherrdquo

button if you want to save a larger set)

4 Section 2 determines how you want to displayrun them

5 Section 3 is where you name this set of bookmarklets

6 In the ldquoResultrdquo section at the bottom click Save button then mouse-drag the

bookmarklet set button onto your browserrsquos bookmarksfavorites bar to make it

accessible there (you can move it later to a subfolder if desired)

7 If you share the URL of your bookmarklet set others can drag your set into

their browsers too

2-value prompt search example 1

1 Start with base bookmarklet for a 2-value

prompt (yellow text has 2nd variable prompt)

javascriptvar20sif(windowgetSelection)s=

windowgetSelection()elses=documentselec

tioncreateRange()textvar20one=prompt(E

nter20first20values)var20two=prompt(

Enter20second20values)if(one)void(loca

tion=httpwwwURLtoVisitcomRestOfPath+

one++two+)elsevoid(s)

2 Change wording above value prompts as

appropriate for site (see yellow highlight)

javascriptvar20sif(windowgetSelection)s=

Alternate way to do example 1

Use the split function to separate the one input prompt into

2 (or more) pieces

In the example URL format

httpwwwpeoplebynamecompeoplegutmacherglenn

note that a space (HTML equivalent 20) is the place we

want to chunk the prompted input (Firstname Lastname)

into its component name pieces If your variable is called

q then the first part of the input is q[0] and the second part

is q[1] (it could continue to q[2] if you had a 3rd part etc)

So the previous slidersquos bookmarklet becomes

javascriptvar20sif(windowgetSelection)s=windowgetS

election()elses=documentselectioncreateRange()text

var20t=prompt(Enter20Firstname20Lastnames)var

20q=tsplit(20)if(q)void(location=httpwwwpeopleb

bull MeetUpcom (and see this article about how to source from them)

bull portfolios on Coroflot or Behancenet or httpportfoliosaigaorg

undervalued Good places to tap Speakers Authors User Groups Bloggers

bull Find relevant conferences or groups in your industry niche (eg besides those

from your Excel lists search INDUSTRY TERM portal or KEYWORD user

group or Google related command from a site you know

bull Then search within those (eg use site search)

bull MeetUp has one of the largest collections of virtual user groups and very

bull For tech forums StackOverflow is a great QampA site where you can filter by

programming languages and other keyword tags

Programmer talent via code repositories

Some coders develop for internal use only but many do share their code in a public or

semi-public way through the growing number of online code repositories Many of these

are searchable with a free account or by using a site search via Google or Bing Free

registration is highly encouraged since more data (eg user contact info) is typically

displayed if yoursquore logged in

bull Assembla (wwwassemblacom) ndash Formerly known as OKKAM this has moved to a

paid model though you can get a free trial account

bull CodePlex (wwwcodeplexcom) ndash this is an open source repository created by

Microsoft and thus the content tends to skew towards Microsoft technologies and

languages (C F X++ etc)

bull LaunchPad (wwwlaunchpadnet) ndash Similar to others here but skews to non-Microsoft

languages Once you are logged in it will show contact info for people you view (if

the user has provided it)

bull GitHub (wwwgithubcom) ndash arguably the largest of the code-hosting sites and lets

you search by location as well as programming language though the only Microsoft-

focused language it currently lets you search by is C User contact info is typically

listed

bull Gitorious (wwwgitoriousorg) ndash Arguably the second largest code repository after

GitHub

bull GoogleCode (codegooglecom) ndash Utilize the code labels such as NET

(httpcodegooglecomhostingsearchq=label3aDotNet) to find specific subsets

bull MSDN Code Gallery (codemsdnmicrosoftcom) ndash a subset of the popular MSDN

portal and its forums blogs etc you can search and download code and examples

like the other sites listed here but itrsquos all Microsoft technology-focused

bull SourceForge (wwwsourceforgenet) ndash One of the earliest in this category and quite

big If you search for SharePoint for example

(httpsourceforgenetdirectoryoswindowsfreshnessrecently-

system filter but you will see other filters such as Programming Language (C and

ASPNET are among the choices)

bull Comparison of open source software hosting facilities

httpenwikipediaorgwikiComparison_of_open_source_software_hosting_facilities

has an annotated list of sites including the above and many others

bull Similarly if you do a Google related query for any of the above sites (eg search for

relatedcodeplexcom on Google) you will find many others like wwwdotnetopennet

which is a smaller hybrid of code forums and tutorials but it tends to link to other

sites rather than host code locally that can be searched

bull You can search for something like +health it (even with the quotation marks

some false positive results can creep in)

bull The default result is Everything (all categories) but if the results are large

you might want to click on People and Pages or Google+ Posts

bull X-ray search is actually more effective for targeting searching From

googlecom try something like siteplusgooglecom +NET (developer OR

bull Another good template variation siteplusgooglecom inurlabout works at

lived in Texas OR lives in Texas) -intitlejobs -inurljobs

Diversity search

These techniques are not foolproof in part because many candidates donrsquot

promote their diverse status If your company is subject to OFCCP guidelines

consult your legal dept re ifhow you use and document these sourcing

methods

bull Ethnicities ldquonatural phraserdquo keywords put in an OR clause such as (ldquoAfrican

Americanrdquo OR ldquoAsian Americanrdquo OR ldquoLatin Americanrdquo) added to a string of

professionaleducational associations can be effective in expanding results

bull Languages combine with natural phrases like ldquonative Spanishrdquo ldquofluent

Cantoneserdquo or ldquofluent Koreanrdquo Searching for both the words ldquoCantoneserdquo

and ldquoMandarinrdquo is a great way to find Chinese candidates because typically

only native speakers list both on a resume This works well for other

ethnicities that commonly speak multiple languages (eg ldquoHindirdquo and ldquoUrdurdquo

Also try using the native spelling of their language as a search keyword eg

Espantildeol CPA Miami FL (he OR she)
