Weekly wrap up for RecruitingTools talking productivity, influence and Research.

Screen Capture tools are critical for on the fly presentation needs and data capture. You can use these tools for data sharing or training or simply just too quickly take notes and stow away for later reference.

‘@RadicalRecruit share another piece of his wisdoms….

SourceSolutions is not a recruiting tool. It’s a service that helps connect people with business. You won’t find resumes here but you can walk away with great information to narrow your search.

In October I spoke at ProjectSAME (for you outside the DC Metro area that it the Staffing Alliance of Maryland Employers). The presentation was focused on my adjustment to my new work life as a Strategic Recruiting Manager after my former life as Technical Writer and Sourcing Researcher.

In my honest opinion I think the tool is pretty innovative. Is it a new concept? Maybe not some much as recruiters and organizations have been talking about this for a few years, but Ovia brings it home.

Boolean got you down? What if you saved all of your searches in a safe place to use for a rainy day? Well, that’s what I did. I should say that’s what I do. It’s efficient and helps me to track my searches.

My favourite sharing application at the moment is LinkedIn Jobs Insider. This is a simple to download toolbar that works not just with linked in, but also 7 other job boards including Dice and Monster. As well as a lot of great features for jobseekers…

It’s quick, easy and free. Search resumes across all of craigslist with speed and accuracy

What do you do if you are not savvy with Boolean searcing? Most people would say I search google for a search string that will work. That’s a bit time consuming. Check out the Boolean Bar.

GroupMe lets you effortlessly group text with the people in your life that are important to you. It’s your real-life network, in your pocket. It’s totally free and works on every phone.

Quick, relevant and in Beta. What else can you ask for when looking for another solid application to help crowd your day? This one might help you be a little more efficient when searching your LinkedIn network. It’s been a round for a bit, but is little known and talked about in recruiting.

RecruitFest! 2010 streamed LIVE on Oct 7th to 38 countries. This will forever be known as the event that changed the way events are thrown in the industry. Meet Shane McCusker of Inntellignet Software…

One of the major benefits of using social media in a job search is that it allows you to build a bigger network of connections. Given the reach of social media, the size of these networks can grow large in size, requiring powers far beyond those of mortal men to manage. Fortunately, you can now download super-powers off the Interwebs.
