5 Find company employees on Twitter
Keep in mind that not all companies have public twitter lists of their employees.
Its still a decent hack.
![Page 12: How To Source and Attract Passive Candidates](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050613/58a8690e1a28ab6c328b6f31/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
I honestly don’t know. What do you think?
![Page 13: How To Source and Attract Passive Candidates](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050613/58a8690e1a28ab6c328b6f31/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
6 Track people by URL shorteners
site:tinyurl.com ("software * engineer" | "software developer") (he | she) -jobs -apply
site:bit.ly ("software * engineer" | "software developer") (he | she) -jobs -apply
site:goo.gl ("software * engineer" | "software developer") (he | she) -jobs -apply Not sure if this is cool or not but, it seems to
work well.
So, what’s going on with this search? People share shortened links on social media. By focusing my search on short URLs, I am sourcing leads from info that people have been sharing online.
More short URLs to try:
site:Ow.ly site:Su.pr

8 Find competing technology in order to loosen up job requirements
Having trouble finding “ruby” developers? Ask your client if they are open to competing
products like Java, C# or Perl.
This works on Google too. Just sayin’…

9 Get involved with communities that are exploding with growth
An Incomplete List of Communities on Slack — Medium http://buff.ly/1JW13rw
Start a group on Slack! Why? • More attention, low
competition • Higher engagement since its
real –time • Its free

“Slack” is a real-time messaging app. Mostly co-workers use it to stay in touch with one another. (Reminds me of Yammer.)
