Brainfood Live On Air Ep180 - Is Boolean Dead? Latest Update on Google Search

Is Boolean Broken? Latest update from Google

 

It's been 10 years since the sourcing community really started to separate itself as being distinct from 'recruiter'. In that time, the sub discipline has been a place of investigation, discovery, enhancement and close-to-magical tricks to get outcomes beyond those available to 'normal recruiters'

 

Nobody has been a more significant populariser of sourcing than Irina Shamaeva - whose blog Boolean Strings has been regularly featured in Recruiting Brainfood, and has by conservative estimate personally trained hundreds of sourcers around the world. So when Irina has a problem with how Boolean search works on Google, even the Google product team pay attention!

 

- What is Boolean search and why is it important for recruiters?

- How has this changed on Search engines?

- Why are google changing how search works?

- What techniques can be used to gather results which Google now hides or misses?

- What practices should recruiters adopt if Google continues down this path?

- How does Boolean compare with other search engines?

 

Essential to watch this one folks - 99% of online sourcing is done first via Google.

 

We're with Alla Pavlova, Recruiter (Riot Games) and Irina Shamaeava, Partner,  (Brain Gain Recruiting)

From Talent Intelligence to Talent Acquisition

 

Talent Intelligence or TI has been the coolest kid in the recruitment block for a little while now, with elite employers using labour market intelligence to properly plan their hiring strategy. Even more relevant in the era of distributed working, employers now need to reach the global talent pool but do so based on data, rather than gut feel. So far, so good eh? However, how exactly do we get there?

 

- Case study from Citi

- What was the end goal of the project?

- What value was expected to be gained?

- How was the business case put together?

- What was the change management plan?

- How to get Hiring Managers, C-level and Recruiters to agree

- Key criteria for vendor / tools selection

- What were the main challenges?

- How do we know it's worked?

 

All this and more with w/ Jeremy Thornton, Senior Project Manager (Citi)

Sourcing & Recruiting on Discord

 

Did you know Recruiting Brainfood has a Discord server? I was planning to use it for doing virtual events but never in the end did any virtual events so it basically has sat lying dormant ever since. And yet Discord has rapidly become one of the main places where interest communities come together to connect, share knowledge, meet each other and generally share community. What should we recruiters do about this?

 

- What is Discord?

- How does it work, technically?

- How is this different from Slack?

- How do I find communities to join?

- What is the etiquette upon entry?

- How should recruiters behave in these spaces?

- Scraping or Social Engineering?

- What is the best tools for find Discord data?

- Do you have the same profile across Discord servers?

- Has anyone had any success hiring from Discord?
