The Easy Ways to Source: Job Boards; ATS
• Full information: resumes; contact info• Structured data: parsed resumes• Faceted search:
![Page 5: Source con atlanta-ppt-irina](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554e4281b4c90518468b5358/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Hard Way To Source: Googling
• Google searches for web pages based on the basic web page elements: a title, a URL, images, phrases
• We are looking for professional profiles
• Translating from English to Googlean is hard…
• Also, Google can only access the surface data
![Page 6: Source con atlanta-ppt-irina](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554e4281b4c90518468b5358/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
LinkedIn, “the” Business Network
• 200MLN profiles• Structured search• But my neighbor Ellen, a super SAS-
programmer, a Ph.D, is not on LinkedIn• LinkedIn profiles are not resumes; most have
insufficient data and lack keywords (example on next slide)
![Page 7: Source con atlanta-ppt-irina](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554e4281b4c90518468b5358/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Candidates That Are Not Found on LinkedIn
• This is the candidate whose resume from Indeed.com the hiring manager liked the best
![Page 8: Source con atlanta-ppt-irina](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554e4281b4c90518468b5358/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Should We Search on Each Site??
![Page 9: Source con atlanta-ppt-irina](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554e4281b4c90518468b5358/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Candidates That Are Not Found
• Even if we go to several different sites for sourcing, we will not find some candidates:– If different social profiles have different pieces
that, combined, pre-qualify a potential candidate, then no single search on any of these sources would select the person
• Example: the GitHub profile shows software engineering skills but doesn’t have a location; LinkedIn has the location but no keywords
![Page 10: Source con atlanta-ppt-irina](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554e4281b4c90518468b5358/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Candidates Without Ways to Contact• Additionally, on some sites, a profile may
pre-qualify a potential candidate, but there’s no contact info and no messaging capacity
• Cross-referencing helps but may be labor-intensive
• The ideal candidate did not respond on Indeed

Distributed Profiles
![Page 12: Source con atlanta-ppt-irina](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554e4281b4c90518468b5358/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Dream Software
The Dream Software would search for distributed profiles. By a “distributed profile” I mean professional information about a person collected from many sources where she has some presence, such as the evidence of her skills, experience, location, current employer, certifications, education, contact info, or any other info.– (posted in Nov 2011 on my blog http://booleanstrings.com )

The Dream Software, a Universal Challenge: Ranking
• If we have a large number of distributed profiles…
• …and can search by locations, skills, and keywords…– Great!
• But how should the search results be ranked?• More generally, how does the tool provider stand
out from the crowd?
![Page 17: Source con atlanta-ppt-irina](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554e4281b4c90518468b5358/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Ranking Challenge
• Each of these tools has addressed ranking in its own way
![Page 18: Source con atlanta-ppt-irina](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554e4281b4c90518468b5358/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
TalentBin• Has a brand name• Thoroughly covers software engineering• Has been expanding to cover: patents;
medical publications; mailing archives• Large indexed database• Ranks skills, such as programming languages
– Based on the activity and the “influence” on professional networks
• Uses a sophisticated skills taxonomy

• Software engineering focus• Pleasant User Interface • Ranking: “is likely to make a move”• Add-on named Sonar also watches companies

TheSocialCV - 2011
• UK-based• Searching is triggered by social activity• Strong “semantic” component• Ranking: Active online
![Page 25: Source con atlanta-ppt-irina](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554e4281b4c90518468b5358/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Dice Open Web
• Continues theSocialCV lineage• The User Interface is nicely integrated with
Dice’s• Needs to expand the target population
coverage (currently 2MLN)

Gild
• Software Engineers only• Ranking: the code quality
– Gild analyzes publicly available software code– Then, watches what engineers, who have written
lots of good code, do, and looks for others “like” them
![Page 28: Source con atlanta-ppt-irina](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554e4281b4c90518468b5358/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Remarkable Hire
• Ranking: “Social Evidence”
![Page 29: Source con atlanta-ppt-irina](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554e4281b4c90518468b5358/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Dream Software vs. LinkedIn
• A BIG problem:– LinkedIn is a “walled garden”
• LinkedIn is against its data being used in volumes– Even the public profile data– Quote from a LI manager at a meeting: We do not
want to become Linked-Out
![Page 30: Source con atlanta-ppt-irina](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554e4281b4c90518468b5358/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
LinkedIn’s Talent Pipeline, an Unexpected Competitor
• LinkedIn Recruiter has disabled export in Excel…• However, LinkedIn now offers the Talent
Pipeline– It’s not a CRM or an ATS– It’s a way to import your data into LinkedIn and be
able to search across your data and the LI data– Imported data is automatically cross-referenced with
member profiles– Powerful!
![Page 31: Source con atlanta-ppt-irina](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554e4281b4c90518468b5358/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Example: Input & the Result
![Page 32: Source con atlanta-ppt-irina](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554e4281b4c90518468b5358/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Now What?
• Make your choices with your eyes open• Neither LinkedIn Talent Pipeline nor Dream
Software products (nor Job Boards) cover “everything”– The Talent Pipeline and the Dream Software cover
different territories, all of them important– Can be combined if you have the budget– You can compensate for either by clever cross-
referencing if no budget
![Page 33: Source con atlanta-ppt-irina](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554e4281b4c90518468b5358/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Learn To Cross-Reference• Free tools
– Rapportive– Falcon.io– (many more)– (happy to talk offline)
![Page 34: Source con atlanta-ppt-irina](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554e4281b4c90518468b5358/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
What’s Next?• My wishes for the future
– Dream Software slows down on inventing ranking and instead concentrates on reliable profiles’ merge and the volume of the data collected
– Dream Software gives us control over the sort order– Dream software prompts for ways for the user to reach
potential candidates, based on the users’ networks– Dice prospers as a job board with a Dream add-on– LinkedIn releases its public data to the public so that the
Dream Software has verified captured LinkedIn data– LinkedIn allows export, not just import– LinkedIn fixes bugs
