(OR KEYWORDLESS SEARCH)
Three Important Things To Know
1. Never Over Complicate Your Search
2. Forget the Basics
3. Build Your Search Like You Talk
NATURAL LANGUAGE SEARCH
(OR KEYWORDLESS SEARCH)
How would you find an Engineer?
We need to find an Engineer that has outgrown their position. They want
more. They have a background in all things technical and possess every
keyword under the sun on their resume.
The hiring team wants an Engineer that has a business background with
experience managing 20 or more people in a group that exceeds $15mm.
NATURAL LANGUAGE SEARCH
(OR KEYWORDLESS SEARCH)
Here’s What We Do While Others Trip Over Keywords
We skip the keywords and silly jargon and target an Engineer that's come
up through the ranks, took their beating and is now setting the standard
at their company
We focus on that companies size so that we can safely assume their
managers have the authority to oversee the target revenue size.
NATURAL LANGUAGE SEARCH
(OR KEYWORDLESS SEARCH)
Building the Search
Let’s role play the conversation in my head that I might have with the candidate.
Us: "Tell me what you are responsible for".
Candidate: "I manage a $15mm group with of 30 Engineers focused on design and
product research."
NATURAL LANGUAGE SEARCH
(OR KEYWORDLESS SEARCH)
Building the Search
We build our search as if we are transcribing the conversation we just had with our ideal
candidate.
I (manage OR oversee OR lead) (engineer OR engineers OR engineering) (group OR
department OR "business") (revenue OR revenues) (15 OR 10 OR 20 OR 30) (million
OR millions)

with a simple search string like:
site:instagram.com (“content marketing” OR “inbound marketing” OR “content writer”
OR “Demand Generation” OR “Content Marketer”) (“new york” OR nyc)

3.Talent communities and forums relevant to the roles
4.Pre-built Boolean searches
5.Organization tools

Editor's Notes

  • #5 Hi, my name is Steve and I'm the CEO of Gem, formerly known as ZenSourcer.
  • #6 At a high level, Gem automates the manual, tedious, work that goes into sourcing. You can think of us as replacing your tracking spreadsheets, reach out templates, and calendar reminders, while tying together your LinkedIn, email, and ATS.
  • #7 Our core workflow allows you to source from LinkedIn in one click, find email, upload to your ATS, and reach out over email with automated followups all without ever leaving the LinkedIn tab.
  • #8 All-in, Gem doubles your conversion to initial phone screen and saves 4x the time.
  • #9 And, because everything is tracked in one place, Gem gives you analytics into what’s working, so you can test subject lines, templates, and even time of day.
  • #10 Gem’s been around for less than 2 years, but we’re already partnering with hundreds of top recruiting teams.
  • #11 And they’re saying great things… You’ll notice a common theme of reducing time spent sourcing, insight into the entire funnel, and the ability to manage passive candidate relationships over time.
  • #12 Anyways, we’re super excited to partner with SourceCon on the webinar today. Beyond sourcing, our future direction is talent CRM, so “source of truth” is something we think about a lot. Drop me a line if you’d like to learn more!
