A Sourcer’s Chrome Extensions: Dean Da Costa

Wasting time trying to source chrome extensions or sourcing tools? You’re not alone. It’s not uncommon to hear sourcers practically interrogating each other on their chrome extensions. These digital hacks are their lifeline – a key into speed, digital agility and keeping a job in the first place.

Unfortunately, the advice can be short lived as one tool is acquired or updated leaving it pretty much useless. Then, we’re back to the drawing boards posting and praying that someone will share a relevant and free tool . Today, those conversations are happening daily across social media in sourcing communities on Facebook.

One of these conversations led to a reveal, of sorts, by Steve Levy and Dean Da Costa. If you know Dean Da Costa, you know he’s the King of Chrome extensions and sourcing tools. The guy has thousands of extensions – and he actually knows how to use them and which ones are worth the memory, too.  We feel pretty lucky that he takes the time to share his savvy on our sourcing webinars to show you how to save money and time discovering candidate contact information. But enough Dean admiration, back to the reveal part, since that’s why you’re still here.

Dean shared a list of his current Chrome extensions. Soon after, everyone went nuts. Why? It’s simple. Sharing is caring. We don’t always get to see “under the hood” outside the context of a webinar or sponsored content. So today, we’re going to share his extension lists so you can bookmark it for the next time one of your tools breaks or you’re on the hunt for suggestions.

Oh, and if you want to be part of the conversation live – you should probably just join  The Secret Sourcing Group.

Dean Da Costa’s Chrome Extensions (April 2016)

In no particular order, here are the extensions Dean shared. Be warned, this list is extensive…. and it’s only 30% of his list.

*Note: We plan to do a more extensive breakdown of these tools as we test them – stay tuned!
