BROWN BAG RECRUITER | G-Recruiters' Project

iSEEK is a search utility that combines a number of features that analyze your search results with each query. As a result you can drill down on specific areas of interest to produce targeted, filtered and highly relevant results.

iSEEK is included in the G-Recruiters’ Dashboard collection of search engines found in the Search Bar, filed under Deep Web.

This playlist runs through some of the basic features but, to see it applied in recruiting scenarios, check out the Become a Search Whiz series of webinars and recordings over on our sister site BROWN BAG RECRUITER. Better still, try it yourself.

UPDATE: Unzipping the files should no longer be a problem. Everything is good…

A few people have experienced problems unzipping the G-Recruiters’ Dashboard. They either get locked up when extracting the files or they are asked for passwords for certain files. This typically happens when they are using a program like WinZip or WinRAR. I suspect I know what the problem is but I don’t know how to fix it.

If you use the Windows default program to decompress the files it seems there are no problems. The majority of people follow the instructions and everything works fine. But if you hit a snag, the following is for you…

If you recruit for different clients you may be using different email aliases and accounts. While Gmail allows you to maintain several email addresses to send mail [and reply to] from it does not support multiple email signatures for each.

I’ve just added Blank Canvas Gmail Signatures to my Firefox extensions. The extension is designed to address this issue.

This new productivity script looks interesting. The author is the same person who gave us Folders4Gmail and other goodies.
