Candidates aren't responding

I have no way to contact
them

Social Networks and Email Finding
• People Finding Extensions ‐ They're really data aggregation tools
First name

GitHub Etc.

Social Networks and Email Finding
• People Finding Extensions ‐ They're really data aggregation tools
• Some cost $$$
• Some are "freemium"
• Some are completely free
• They can save time
• All use software algorithms to try and accomplish the same thing
• All (paid or free) are subject to mistakes (beware!)
24
When Using, Use Common Sense
• Nothing is perfect…"right" data can still be wrong
• Algorithms match data points ‐ they can be wrong
• Emails, info get crossed
• Especially for candidates with the same name
• Consider the size of the company:
• [email protected] = don't email!
• [email protected] = possibly email

• Why research contact info?
– Find out more information about the candidate
– Use hints to help direct your search
– Some contact info is written in a way which hides it from spam‐bots
IMAGE
50
Good ol' Fashioned Research
• Track down their phone number or email address in Google
• Enter their name in quotes and see what pages are available
• This might be enough to search if their name is unique
"Mark Tortorici"
IMAGE
51
Good ol' Fashioned Research
• If there are too many results, add in a company name, or a specific interest of theirs, or a school, or an educational background
• You have to do this for candidates with common names (i.e. John Smith ‐ the software engineer)
"Mark Tortorici" (training OR sourcing OR staffing OR
music)

• Try the name in quotes + an area code of where they live, where they went to school, or where they lived
• This works especially well if you know where they went to school because odds are, they still have the same cell phone number
"Mark Tortorici" 408

53
Good ol' Fashioned Research
• Try the name in quotes + the word "email" in quotes
• Quotes around a single term will keep Google from word‐stemming the term
"Mark Tortorici" "email"

• When calling to a major corporation:
– If you reach the Administrative Assistant, give them the full name of the candidate
– Don’t give away too much info, but don’t outright lie either
– Telling them it’s a personal call and giving your name should be good enough
– Or, you have to talk to (candidate name) about specific information related to their (job / function / specialty)
86
Jenny 867‐5309
• When calling to a major corporation:
– If you reach an automated voice assistant, find the dial‐by‐directory function

In Summary
• There is no single data source that has every email (no silver bullet)
• Remember to look within your own networks first ‐ you might already be connected!
• Verify any information that a Chrome extension gives you
• Good ol' research gets the job done ‐ Use Google!
• Using the powers of deduction, you can figure out the email format for almost any company (a little bit of research goes a LONG way)
• Use multiple data sources ‐ Google, LinkedIn, FullContact, ContactOut, etc. ‐ each one is a different database!
131
In Summary
• Personal websites are great ‐ usually there is a contact form, an email, or use Whois.com to get their contact info
• Use the LinkedIn import connections trick ‐ it's accessing +400 million profiles
• People finding techniques are not difficult ‐ only a small amount of detective work is needed
• If you practice the methods and steps, it should take less than 30 seconds to find each candidate’s contact info
• Broaden the tools and sites that you use and research new ones ‐ they are always changing!
