Which One Should I Use?

If we do the same search on LinkedIn as Facebook let’s look at the results. This is unscientific but may provide some insight regarding what is to be found in both. I will be looking for a Software Engineer at Google in Seattle, WA. I will be using LinkedIn Recruiter, my regular LinkedIn account and of course searching Facebook. Some things to consider, Facebook uses Natural Language Search verses LinkedIn which offers a Basic, Advanced and Boolean searches.

Facebook Search - Software Engineers at Google in Seattle, Washington

LinkedIn Recruiter- 749 results

LinkedIn Basic- 749 results

Facebook- Fewer than 100

What does that tell us?

• Facebook stuck to the Software Engineer title in the search only including SR or Senior

• LinkedIn Recruiter included titles such as Software Development Manager at Amazon Web Services, Staff Software Engineer, Site Reliability Engineer/Software Engineer and Software Development Engineer in Test

• Lets try this on Facebook -Software Development Managers at Google, Staff Members Software Engineers work with at Google

Answer: Both

Boolean Search and Natural Language Search

Boolean Search - system of algebraic notation used to represent logical proposition (AND, OR, NOT)

Natural Language Search - Simply targeted answers to user questions, search how we speak

Putting it Together-Tools, Search, Extract and Build

Sample Search We will be searching for Software Engineers and the hiring manager has asked us to pull them from Google.

Software Engineers who currently work at Google

Results: More than 1,000 but we can revise the search results using the Refine this Search to the right.

Facebook offered a search tip- Tip: Your results include current employees of Google who have been Software Engineer at any time. You may want to limit your search to Software Engineer at Google.

13

Putting it Together-Search, Extract and Build

Extract Using Memonic I will build my pipeline of talent from Facebook. By holding down the Ctrl button on my keyboard, I will highlight the leads I want to clip.

14

Putting it Together-Search, Extract and Build

Putting it Together-Search, Extract and Build

BuildAs you can see the leads you clipped are now available to work. You want to first Organize your list by creating Tags, Folders and Groups. You should determine if you want to keep the leads as links or convert to text. You can also add notes, add tags, create groups. Memonic has the ability to share your list via Email, Facebook, Twitter or grab a Link.

Tip- Be sure to set your folder as either Private, Friends or Public

19

Tip- Installing the mobile Memonic app (ios and Android allows you to view your folders and list on your mobile device. )

21

Next Level- Additional Actions

The leads in Memonic are web based when viewing your dashboard and that means we can use additional Firefox Add-Ons to research the people on your list.

Firefox Ad Ons

• LinkedIn• Social Friend

Finder (SFF)• Duck Duck

Go • Google Maps

(get company numbers and call)

Contacting Leads

You can contact the leads you selected from Facebook but sending them a message which will go to their Other Folder, basically messages that have been filtered out of the regular mailbox. For $1.00 (I have sent them as cheap as 35 cents) you can send a direct message to the candidate. You also have an option to attach files. Some people have a follow option.

Sounds very much like a LinkedIn Pro account to me. Haydn Shaughnessy (Forbes) http://www.forbes.com/sites/haydnshaughnessy/2013/04/08/facebook-extends-charging-and-that-is-good/

23

Contacting Leads

Other ways to contact candidates include using the LinkedIn Firefox Add-On and if you have a LinkedIn account contacting them that way or use the Google Maps Firefox Add-On and get the company phone number and call in directly or use the Social Friend Search Firefox Add-On to search all social networks for your lead.

Questions?

The thoughts, ideas, etc in this presentation are my own and do not necessarily represent ADP’s positions, strategies, or opinions. ADP doesn’t contact candidates (as a policy or sourcing process) using the $1.00 option currently and that is solely my idea and concept. 2 Timothy 4:17
