Do you find it hard to keep up with the demands of hiring managers and your own recruiters’ name-gen requests? Would you like to be able to fulfill those faster? Two of the fastest-evolving spaces in talent sourcing are automation and web scraping. You’ve used or heard about such tools but they all seem expensive and/or confusing. What if you have little or no budget? Maybe you’ve tried a free Chrome Extension but got frustrated that it doesn’t work well – or at all — on many websites.

It’s not your fault and you’re not alone. These are the fastest-evolving spaces in talent acquisition today and you need help to cut through the clutter and show you what actually works and how. The best part is you can do it without expense!

We’ll cover such things as flexible off-the-shelf and custom web scrapers, plus Chrome extensions that boost sourcers’ productivity in other ways, shaving hours off your weekly output. We’ll target conferences, events, research sites and social profile repositories (not just LinkedIn and GitHub, but we’ll show you some tricks there,
too) that are rich with people data that you thought couldn’t be tapped without time-consuming individual copy-and-pastes, and you’ll have it all in nicely-formatted columns in Excel files or Google sheets in seconds.

Both our presenters are uncanny in their ability to take advanced sourcing topics and boil them down to their clear, step-by-step essence, making seemingly complex tools and methods easy to understand and implement at your own desk with practical examples you probably have on your own pipelining ticklist.
