3 Sourcing Technologies You Can’t Pass Up

1. Connectifier

Connectifier is a resource for candidate information that’s specifically catered to recruiters. Its search function is able to rank candidate relevance as well as filter out candidates that don’t have direct email addresses in the system. Despite being owned by LinkedIn, it’s meant to enhance candidate outreach efforts by giving you the opportunity to go beyond the InMail. Bonus: if you already have a LinkedIn Recruiter Corporate license, it’s totally free.

2. Seekout

A self-proclaimed “unfair sourcing advantage,” Seekout allows users to access email addresses and social profiles of candidates. Their search function also offers an algorithm that can filter for diversity. Not to mention, they have a Chrome extension that doesn’t require a subscription.

3. Facebook

Yep, you read that correctly. While the platform isn’t intended for recruiting purposes, it can lend a helping hand. In the same way that you can search for names of users, you can reverse look-up phone numbers. Input the number that needs verifying and voila: the account linked to that number pops up. With close to 2 billion users, the odds that you find a match are high.
