Some of the best recruiting tools that I have used over the years were not truly built for recruiters. Copernic Desktop Search is one of these that I use that I felt would be a great addition to most recruiters arsenal. As with every tool, there are free and paid versions.

Here are a few thoughts on the tool itself and a demo that I put together to show you exactly how I use the tool to better recruit from form desktop.

What is Copernic Desktop Search

Copernic Desktop Search is a dynamite tool that allows your to run lightening fast searches throughout your entire system, including all documents, emails, calendars, notes, document. This is an inexpensive (offers a free version as well) alternative to Window Desktop Search.

4 Reasons Why should a Recruiter consider investing in a desktop search tool?

  1. The average person spends approximately r hours per week searching for documents and 2.3 wasted hours per because they do not have the appropriate tools (according the copernic site)
  2. File organization, quick and easy document recall and of course structure and unstructured data search
  3. The ability to search within documents, excel files, PDF, PowerPoint files and .doc
  4. You can search networked drive files, outlook contacts, tasks, notes, calendars, local and external drives all from 1 interface
