dirk spencer - best use of job boards
DESCRIPTION
The best use of job boards details keywords and perfect search syntax for people so they can find openings with recruiter contact information. It makes sense to work openings where we can find a phone number or email to a real person first. This allows for networking and more bang for the effort when applying for work.TRANSCRIPT

What
makes
the
best
use of
Job boards?
Data
Mining
JOB SEARCH IS DATA MINING
Differentiate real versus non-real openings
Jobs in need of candidates now
WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR?
Contact name
Direct email
Office, extension and cell phone number
WHY?
CONTACT INFORMATION
Allows for professional networking
Facilitates LinkedIn connections
Demonstrates a candidate’s “True Grit”
WORK
JOBS
WITH
CONTACT
INFORMATION
FIRST
WHY?
CONTACTS LEAD TO NETWORKING AND…
Industry trend knowledge
Business intelligence
Talking points in other interviews
We can learn
how web sites
work?
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES?
Search Engine versus Database
Boolean Operator versus SQL Query
Job Boards versus Corporate Web Sites
Content versus Context Intelligence
Literal versus Semantic Understanding
Fact versus Meaning
Paid versus Free
Do you “really” care!
Do you care
enough to
learn the
differences?
Thought So!
Do this instead!

BOOLEAN HACKS
AND reduces the total qualified “results”
NOT excludes total qualified “data points”
OR is always “More”
STRUCTURED QUERY LANGUAGE (SQL)
EQUALS COMPLICATED SEARCHES
CREATE TABLE "table_name"
("column 1" "data_type_for_column_1",
"column 2" "data_type_for_column_2",
SELECT "column_name"
FROM "table_name"
WHERE "simple condition"
{[AND|OR] "simple condition"}+
SELECT "column_name"
FROM "table_name"
WHERE "condition"
COLON: COMMAND HACKS
Telegraph advanced search engine interrogation
Data access dictates how far we can reach
Data may be free versus paid
Access may be open versus member access
Sources databases versus
Indexes of databases versus
Web site data versus
Open or closed systems
Do you EVEN care!
NUMBER 1 SEARCH STRING HACK
Boolean Search is NOT…
Structure Query Language (SQL)
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
WHAT MATTERS MOST?
How People Talk…
WORD HACKS FOR JOB BOARDS
Immediate
ASAP
Now
New
Ext
DOT
Phone
Cell
JOB BOARD HACKS – “CALL”
“Call me”
“Call me right away”
“Call my cell”
“Call our office”
JOB BOARD HACKS – “EMAIL”
“Email me”
“Email me at”
“Email me directly”
“Email your resume”
“Email me anytime”
JOB BOARD HACKS – “PLEASE”
“Please Call”
“Please submit your resume directly”
“Please contact me”
“Please give me a call”
“Please give me your updated resume”
Put it into action
INDEED – WHAT IS IT?
INDEED IS A JOB BOARD
They are not an crawl based aggregator
They use paid providers
Differentiation – you get the details in 1 click
Key Hack - Keep Searches Simple
Business Intelligence Value - Direct Networking

Boolean
Monster . Com
"PROJECT MANAGER" AND (CELL OR ASAP OR
EMAIL OR EXT OR DOT OR CONTACT OR GIVE
OR ME)
“Click”
RECRUITER AND (TX OR TEXAS OR CELL OR ASAP OR EMAIL OR
EXT OR DOT OR CONTACT OR GIVE OR ME)
Targeting Companies by URL
Example: Adecco (IE: AdeccoNA)
SAMPLE CAMPAIGN – TARGETING URLS
adeccona and adecco and (and not nickerson and
not heard and not blum and not oeland and not
dovich and not shook and not avalos and not lopez
and not TX-MortgageJobs)
30 EMAILS = 30 INVITES ON LINKEDIN
This allowed me to harvest 30 emails at Adecco of
specific people…which was a talking point for job
in Irving after harvesting this recruiters email and
sending her a note directly
