targeting candidates with particular skill sets and
locations are the standard no-cost way for IT
recruiters to source candidates. This handy candidate
sourcing technique fetches resumes and other
sources of candidate information, but you have to be
skilled in advanced Internet search and you have to
do a lot of other leg work to save, sort, and enter
those resumes into your database or applicant
tracking system to use them e ectively. With the advances in technology and Internet use, social media, and a
talent shortage, sourcing candidates manually is no longer a competitive recruiting method. If you and your fellow
IT recruiters need more candidates than you’re getting with this kind of search, it’s time to break out the candidate
sourcing tools.

Gild

How do you determine if the developer candidates you talk to have the skills hiring managers need? Do you get
enough information from the hiring managers to know if the candidates will pass a technical interview? Can you
tell what quality of code they write?

Gild is a candidate sourcing tool that enables IT recruiters to identify the best developers evaluated for their code
and social media participation. The information on developer candidates is available in Gild’s database of more
than 6 million developers worldwide, which has candidates scored by their skill level so their evaluated experience
is easily available for IT recruiters to search, as well as developer pro le rankings comparing them to all other
developers in Gild’s database.

If searching for developers and trying to verify candidate skills is a big part of your recruiting work week, and
you’ve had problems with candidates you thought could write the code your clients wanted, Gild eliminates a lot
of guesswork.

TalentBin and HiringSolved

If nding passionate, engaged IT candidates is your pain point, TalentBin and HiringSolved are two great tools to
consider, as they quickly and easily reveal exactly those types of candidates with a comprehensive search function.
Both TalentBin and HiringSolved compile rich candidate pro les from candidate activity across the web and social
media so IT recruiters see skills, abilities, passions, and creativity at a glance rather than after hours (or days) of
search and communications. They also provide contact information on candidates as well, another time saver for
IT recruiters in the sourcing stage.

TalentHook

TalentHook o ers several advanced and automated sourcing and recruiting process solutions for busy IT
recruiters who are interested in cutting some serious time out of their recruiting processes and get closer to the
best candidates faster and easier than many other automated recruiting tools.

• The TalentHook Internet search feature in TalentHook Cloud uses spider search technology to scour free and
pay job boards, the open web, colleges, ip search and social networks with one tool. It allows recruiters to set up
and store automated search agents, eliminates resume duplicates, and o ers advanced search techniques to nd
hidden and obscure resume content.

• TalentHook Cloud enables IT recruiters to easily set up e ective and ongoing email contacts and campaigns
when prospective candidates are identi ed with automated processes, templates, reminders, and other e ective
email features.
• TalentHook’s candidate management features include prospect candidate generation tools such as stored
search strings, automated custom search agents, and smart resume ltering to eliminate manual search and
duplications. Candidate marketing tools like drip email marketing campaigns to encourage candidates to call and
drive prospects to your company website eliminate cold calls, voice mail tag, and losing candidates to competitors.

Candidate sourcing tools like Gild, TalentBin, HiringSolved, and TalentHook enable IT recruiters to nd hidden
candidates they either wouldn’t know about or would have to take a lot of time and resources to nd. For IT
recruiters to be able to compete in a challenging job market, uncover the top candidates, verify skills and
experience, and engage candidates, they need a way to source candidates faster and more e ciently.
