ReferYes Sourcer, the candidate sourcing tool added a new feature to find candidate email IDs. In this post I will explain how this feature works and how it could save you time of doing multiple searches.

 

Generally, if you want to search for an email address you should  know two things, the candidate name and the company name or website. First, you should search for all possible combinations of the email address on the internet. For example, if you are searching for candidates that work at Kforce and you found the profile of John smith on LinkedIn and you want to get in touch with him. To find his email you should search for:

John.Smith@Kforce.com
John_Smith@Kforce.com
JohnSmith@Kforce.com
JSmith@Kfoce.com
J.Smith@Kforce.com
J_Smith@Kforce.com
smith@Kforce.com
JohnS@Kforce.com
John_S@Kforce.com
John.S@Kforce.com
John@Kforce.com

 

ReferYes automates this time consuming process, with only one button click ReferYes will search for all these combinations.

 

 

ReferYes will show the search results and the found emails,  it also will show the webpage link of where the email was found, and a list of emails from the same company.

 

 

If you don’t know the company website , ReferYes also will help you to find it by clicking on the ‘find website’ button.

 

 

Finally, if the candidate email could not be found on the internet, ReferYes will suggest  an email address based on the scheme of the other company emails. For example, if you search for Rami Madi from Kforce, then ReferYes will suggest that the email address is rmadi@Kforce.com

Now, you can post split jobs on ReferYes to receive referrals and pay rewards only if a candidate is hired. No need to buy any credit to post split jobs on ReferYes anymore, it’s free now!


How it works?
To post a split job, simply select a split arrangement reward in which job owners accept referrals for free and rewards are paid only if a placement occurs.


Tips to help you achieve successful referrals in split arrangements:
1- Split jobs are identified by the word ‘Split’ beside the reward amount at the jobs list.
2- To submit a referral, it’s recommended to send direct messages to job owners to know more details before submitting any referral
3- If your referral was accepted that means the job owner is interested and opened the contact information of your referral.
4- Send direct messages to job owners to follow up on your accepted referrals. ReferYes is not responsible to follow up on candidate placements or split reward payments. Recruiters can contact each other directly through our messaging system to follow up on their candidates or to sign a contract before submitting a referral. At ReferYes we don’t charge any fees on successful split rewards and we don’t control reward payments.
5- The advertised reward will be fully paid to you if a placement occurs and ReferYes will not deduct any commission fees.
6- Once your referral is accepted, you will have the ability to review the job owner. It is important to review other users to control the quality of jobs and referrals

There are many websites that provide information on companies and organizations, some of these services are free, others carry a price tag. In this post I will focus on free sources to find useful business information. If you are a recruiter or a salesman and looking for clients in specific industries or if you are a recruiter searching for passive candidates that work for certain companies, then this post will help you to identify the best sources to find this information and the advantages and disadvantages of each source.

LinkedIn, Jigsaw, and Hoover’s are the top websites that provide free company information. Since June, 2008 Jigsaw provided all its company data for free under their ‘Data Independence Day’ initiative. It has a powerful advanced company search tool and users can browse or download company information for free.

LinkedIn also provides company information for free which they call ‘company profiles’  to help their users explore and find the right companies to work for or do business with. This service is still in its beta version and like Jigsaw it provides information on the company's industry, type, size, addresses, and website.

Hoover's website features a database of information on more than 30 million corporations and organizations, but most of these information are for paid subscribers. It is arguably the largest proprietary company information database with detailed company profiles and information. The database has detailed company overviews, locations, addresses, financial figures, competitors, news releases and key executives for each of these companies.

To compare between the three websites we will perform a simple query on Google to compare the number of indexed results which will give an indication of the real number of company records each website has. Searching in all industries and company types in the U.S., LinkedIn has the largest number of company records and Hoover’s has the smallest number of results. However, this is because Hoover's provides only 43,000 public and non-public US and international companies for free and to access the information of small to mid-sized companies you have to subscribe to their service.

As for the quality of information, all three websites provide similar information, however, LinkedIn and Jigsaw are user-generated content contributed by their members. Another difference is in their search capabilities, where Jigsaw and LinkedIn provide free advanced search features but Hoover’s limits its advanced search to 10 results only for free users.

 

Finally, ReferYes Sourcer the passive candidate sourcing tool that searches for resumes and candidate profiles on top search engines and social networks, has added a new cross-searching feature to search for business information on LinkedIn, Jigsaw, and Hoover’s. The value of this feature is that it provides search results from the three websites simultaneously in a unified search interface, which makes it easier to find company information and to compare the results.
