Diversity Sourcing

1. Sourcing Diversity Resumes - Start your search off by targeting specific Diversity groups. To get the full amount
of resumes that we need, enter all variations of the word “resume”. Google String:
(resume OR cv) (association=*=swe OR member=*=swe OR "society of women engineers" OR witi OR "women in tech-
nology international") (bscs OR mscs OR "computer science") -job -jobs -sample -samples
The “fill in the blank” operator ( =*= ) only works on Google. It will connect one word to another within a certain
distance.

Sourcing Data
Sheet version 12
By Mark Tortorici - Sourcing for diversity candidates doesn’t have to be diffi-
cult. You can use many different techniques including resume searches,
speaker bios, associations, organizations, social networks, and more.
Sourcing Diversity Profiles - Look for a Diversity Engineering organization and target profiles of members who be-
long. Search for bios or profiles but leave out the 3rd
person masculine gender. Example string with added degree:
("wie" OR "women in engineering") (bio OR profile) (her OR she) (developer OR programmer OR "software engineer")
(bscs OR mscs OR "computer science") -site:edu
Sourcing Linkedin Profiles - Look for a Diversity Engineering organization and target profiles of members. The
phrase “groups and associations” will help direct you to profiles that have the group on their Linkedin page. The compo-
nents to the string are: the site operator, diversity organizations, degrees, and words to get rid of. Google string:
site:linkedin.com/in OR site:linkedin.com/pub (association=*=swe OR member=*=swe OR "society of women engi-
neers" OR witi OR "women in technology international" OR "women in engineering") (bscs OR mscs OR "computer sci-
ence") -inurl:dir
This string focuses on profiles with a possible DevOps background:
site:linkedin.com/in OR site:linkedin.com/pub (association=*=swe OR member=*=swe OR "society of women engi-
neers" OR witi OR "women in technology international" OR "women in engineering") (python OR perl) (deployment OR
devops OR chef OR puppet OR cfengine) (bscs OR mscs OR "computer science") -inurl:dir
Google+ String:
site:plus.google.com "have her" ("works at vmware" OR "worked at vmware" OR "works at emc" OR "worked at emc"
OR "works at rackspace" OR "worked at rackspace") (engineer OR programmer OR developer) -intitle:jobs -intitle:job
-inurl:app

Twitter Followers
Target a diversity organization on Twit-
ter, and then source their followers.
You can also use a software tool like
Twiangulate to search the followers and
refine the results with titles, tweets, or
other keywords.
Twitter Sourcing
Use Twitter pages, feeds, and users to find more candidates
One possible search is to use Followerwonk. Just enter a string in the keywords field:
("software engineer" | programmer | developer) (mom | mother | girl | woman |
female | wife)
Remember that Followerwonk uses the pipe sign | for OR’s and the parenthesis ( )
for quotes.
Twitter Followers
Great list of targeted candidates!
