How to use Google and LinkedIn to find candidates

Are you a recruiter at a search firm? Are you a recruiter within HR, seeking to fill an open role within your company? My site is dedicated to using Google and LinkedIn to search for, find and eventually hire candidates for open role. All of my methods are completely free. You don’t have to sign up for the very expensive “recruiter seat” license with LinkedIn.

I have over 17 years experience sourcing and hiring candidates using expert-level skills to source candidates creatively using nothing but free Google searches. My career has been evenly split between time at a search firm as a headhunter…charging companies 20% – 20% (off of salary) placement fees as well as time as an internal, corporate recruiter.

I just created a comprehensive video course documenting the basics of how I find candidates on LinkedIn to fill open positions by using Google! It is a completely free course hosted on Udemy that contains two hours of video content, where I outline my process step-by-step. I know it will help you find qualified candidates for your open role quickly…today! I would also welcome any feedback and hoping you could take the time to rate it.

  • Free sourcing and recruiting resources, through my Free course – Sourcing candidates on LinkedIn using Google and with upcoming blog posts.
  • Stop paying a typical search firm fee of 20% – 25% of the new-hire’s salary! With my sourcing as a service, I charge a flat rate to produce a deliverable (spreadsheet), containing a list of candidate url’s and LinkedIn profiles of qualified candidates that meet your requirements. This is what the search firms are doing anyway, except you can then contact and pitch (recruit) into your role instead of the search firm. A bit of extra work on your part, but for many companies, this is worth it!
