At the end of February I went along to one day of the TRULondon unconference. However, I couldn't make it to the sourcing event organised for the day before. Luckily I was able to ask Heather Travis (who runs her own business and is involved with the Executive Research Association) if she'd attend and share some of the content.
This is what she said:
Anyone who is involved in executive research, whether it be a researcher or a consultant, should attend the Tru London Sourcing Day next year.
The event was a fascinating insight into extensive searching via the web, it was hosted by Bill Boorman and presented by 4 extremely experience sourcing experts;
Jim Stroud – www.JimStroud.com– twitter.com/jimstroud– he produces a magazine and website called The Searchologist.
Marie Journey – http://mariejourney.com/– email marie@mariejourney.com
Katharine Robinson – who has just won The SourceCon Grandmaster Sourcing Challenge which was held in the US – twitter.com/TheSourceress– she also runs a UK Sourcers Network http://uksourcers.ning.com
Irina Shamaeva – who was a challenge winner and entered the final of The SourceCon Grandmaster Sourcing Challenge. Her blog is http://booleanstrings.wordpress.com/
The presentations were sharing exclusive cv sourcing and lead generation strategies for recruiters.
Some useful facts that I learnt on the day:
Google Wonder Wheel – put in a search on google and then when the results come up go into show options and drop to Wonder Wheel – this builds up search around your core search results and is brilliant.
On Google use the search term Site:linkedin.com and then add key words to search the Linkedin in site.
On Google “email ** company name.com” – will bring up any email address for this business – you can put in .co.uk or .org
Kngine– a search engine which answer questions delivering definitions and documentation.
