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.

One of the advantages of G-Recruiting, and cloud recruiting in general, is the ability to share and collaborate. Because data is stored in the cloud anyone who has a link, permission and internet access can find, share, edit, publish and file anything — everything from a job description to a full-blown site, landing page and apply online to boot. Because changes are made in realtime the pain of emailing stuff back and forth can be avoided. No more worrying about who has which version, or where you filed that precious document. It is also an efficient way to manage large volumes of data, like resumes.
One of the disadvantages, at least for people habituated to Microsoft, is having to figure out how to do stuff that is second nature in a new system like Google. Not that it is that hard, Google has addressed that and more with Google Cloud for Microsoft Office.

A decent step-by-step slide-show from Kaspersky Lab’s Security News Service: Threatpost.
Make sure you read the comments before changing anything! Some excellent points are made, not clearing out your web history being a case in point. Remember, Firefox add-ons like Location Bar pull data from your history.
I also happen to like the presentation format. I will be experimenting with something similar for a few of the G-Recruiter tutorials…stay posted for that.

In the upcoming weeks of training [see A G-Recruiter Primer: A Series of Starter Sessions and Become an Search Wizard: A Complete Guide to Online Sourcing for Recruiters] I’ll be showcasing some new stuff using the Recruiters’ Dashboard.
The dashboard set-up for downloading hasn’t been updated since February. A makeover was long overdue anyway but with new users joining the ranks I wanted the latest and greatest version available for all.
There are new add-ons and the theme has been spruced up to make the whole thing, in my humble opinion, pretty damn slick! I’ve also tweaked some stuff on the back-end to speed things up.

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…
