5. 1. The Lion (LinkedIn Basic)
• A LION is a LinkedIn Open Networker.
• Your candidates are probably not LIONs.
• LIONs generally tend to be recruiters or sales
people.
• You can invite them to connect without fear of
DNK.
• LIONs usually have larger networks so can
help you to grow yours quickly.
• Connecting to LIONs isn’t for everyone.
6. 3. The X-Ray
• Also called a site search. This Google trick lets you
search pages from just one website.
7. 3. The X-Ray
This is also useful
for searching any
website with a lot of
user profiles
(like LinkedIn).
8. LinkedIn Search Tool
I built a Google Custom Search Engine to find just
Australian LinkedIn profiles.

9. 4. The #Hashtag
• Hashtags are probably the easiest way to find relevant
people to follow on social networks like Twitter and
Instagram.
• Event hashtags are particularly great.
• If you wanted to find other in-house recruiters using
Twitter or Instagram, you could check out #SoSuAu
(Sourcing Summit Australia). The event took place last
summer, but you will still find the tweets and photos.
11. 5. The Face(book)
• Facebook is so big that it’s hard to ignore as a souce of
candidates.
• It’s great for finding those who do not sit at a desk all day
like
• Store / Restaurant Managers
• Bus Drivers
• Oil Rig Workers
• It’s not easy or clear how to find people based on their job
by searching Facebook.
• Try out Shane McCusker’s Facebook Search
Tool.
