Data extraction is key to a sourcers job. Gathering leads in a fast efficient manner is often the difference between making a placement and losing a fee. Check out this Firefox add-on called OutWit. It’s serious and can change your desk in a serious way.
We’ve talked before about how recruiting with FireFox is a good idea. It’s flexible, customizable, and you can built it into a tool for recruiting. Another great Firefox Add-on that I simply cannot recruit without is called OutWit. It’s easy to use and simply saves time. OutWit comes in 3 versions that are described below and if used properly will seriously impact your daily routine. OutWit is similar to Down the All, but it goes much deeper.
Here is why I love it. There are 3 main applications:
OutWit Docs and OutWit Images
OutWit docs will help you to rip out documents, spreadsheets and presentations saving your results to your system. This will allow you save, store and review your results in a faster more efficient manner.
OutWit Hub
OutWit Hub is an all-in-one application for extracting and organizing data from online sources; a powerful automation engine that explores for you large series of Web sources and brings back the answers instead of telling you where they are.
Here is quick demo from my friend Ami Givertz better known as the G-Recruiter and The Brown Bag Recruiter.
Make your recruiting a little easier by customizing your main browser. After all, we use the Internet all day in our jobs. Adding functionality like Outwit will help you extract candidate data, search and source for keywords, and keep you organized.
