Using Site Searches to Find Company Staff/Employees

I talk often about the SITE search technique. For those who don't know it is one of the many advanced commands sourcers can use to locate recruiting resources using the search engines. For those of you that regularly use the Internet for sourcing candidate it is an underutilized, yet extremely productive technique, and one it would behoove most of you to become familiar with. It easy to use. Here is an example:

site:taylor-engineering.com (engineer OR designer)

You would type the above simple search string into Google, although this particular command works in all the three major search engines. I just arbitrarily picked Taylor Engineering but you can search any company you like.

Our results will show 47 results. The very first result is titled Taylor Engineering - Staff. If you click on that you will see a number of the engineering and design employees that work for that company, and what their specialty is.

Not every company has their staff on their website, but many do and the site technique is a wonderful way to find them.

This simple example is just the tip of the iceberg as it relates to the power of this technique. For those interested in making full use of the site technique, Swat Recruiting is presenting an hour long webinar tomorrow, Thursday, February 18 at 12:00pm central time.
