Facebook seems to escape a lot of sourcers when talking about recruiting tools, and for good reason; it’s not a recruiting tool. Or is it? Sourcers are information gathers; the finder of the secrets; the holder of facebook everything hidden, classified and internal. To qualify a tool as “sourcing worthy” does not mean it has an intense search mechnism, in fact the most significant best practices often don’t.

Here’s a look at how I ad source on a daily basis to gather compeitive intel on clients, targets and candidates. I am using Facebook as my example to find engineers via sponsored ads and fanpages but you should apply this to any site online that you are visiting.

Special mention to @Jerry_Albright from VerbalSummary.com. –> Watch and see why. (Purely a coincidence)
