<p>*** Example of using the new Contacts for Sourcing. ***</p>
<p></p>
<p>I am currently sourcing for Wastewater Project Managers for a company in Toronto, CA. I have found lists of people who are "project managers" at competitor companies. (I collected the info from the web, Zoominfo, Jigsaw, etc, and I have names, company names, and email addresses).</p>
<p>Great. I have a list of project managers from competing companies. But here's a problem. Most of these companies do many other things, not just wastewater: they do construction, etc. How I can filter the project managers from this list that <em>do</em> work with water?</p>
<p>I use a temporary gmail account to upload the list and then add (merge) it to my LinkedIn contacts. NOW I can search across these people's LinkedIn profile data, and for those who left enough info on their profiles I can figure out who deals with water and who is not. I will also double-check where these people are located (even for those who said very little on their profiles).</p>
<p>Am I making sense?</p>
<p>Regarding the Gold Mine. As I had mentioned in the previous reply, this is not quite a gold mine because it is very dangerous to even show up near-by. LinkedIn claims that it "owns" its data. Ever heard of ca company called Pealk? It was shut down. Many companies digging LinkedIn's data have been getting "cease and desist". </p> Thanks Irina.

<p>Thanks Irina. I am not denying it is great to be able to add all this data to your contacts.. I even went as far as to add a file of my candidates to the old system.. I seem to see a bug now with uploading files so I have loaded them into my outlook address book and trying to sync from there.. But, now that we have all this data... how can we use it? again, as a recruiter, I want to be able to segment all of these folks and email them appropriate messages... this is where linkedin is…</p>

<p>Oh, OK, sorry if I misunderstood you. Correct, there's no export capacity in the Contacts (except for very limited data) and there's no decent export capacity in the most expensive LinkedIn solutions either.</p>
<p>The new Contacts, <em>do</em> have integration with other channels. - which is what makes them a fantastic tool. You can upload your gmail contacts, yahoo, etc. Some people have integration with FB and Twitter. There <em>are</em> tags, locations, etc. - it just sounds you to see…</p>

You can upload your gmail contacts, yahoo, etc. Some people have integration with FB and Twitter. There <em>are</em> tags, locations, etc. - it just sounds you to see them on your screen?</p>
<p></p>
<p>There's search as well:<img width="200" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1442318246?profile=RESIZE_320x320" width="200" style="font-size: 13px;"/></p>
<p><img width="350" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1442319172?profile=RESIZE_480x480" width="350"/></p>
<p></p>
<p><img width="100" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1442320291?profile=RESIZE_180x180" width="100"/></p>
<p>Also, there's no need to pay for auto-updating, since each "source" has a "refresh" data which will trigger updating.</p>
<p><br/> If you really want so export, you could use a tool like <a href="http://www.outwit.com/" target="_blank">Outwit Hub</a> and get some data parsing and export (a junior software engineer should be able to write some javascript code to do that).</p>
<p>The absolutely amazing thing is that we can <em>search</em> across this data, integrated into linkedin by the new "contacts" by bringing in gmail and other contacts. These searches will get find lots of LI data that we couldn't find before.</p>
<p>Systems like <span>TalentBin, Dice.com's OpenWeb, Entelo.com, Gild.com and HiringSolved.com are not able to do <em>anything</em> of this caliber. The main reason is that LinkedIn will get unhappy as soon as its data is mass-scraped and is used in other businesses. All of these systems try to include "some" linkedin data - but the truth is, the best they can do is dynamically lookup using a name. They may be also trying to accumulate some public profile data through Google's index data, but they all know it's dangerous.</span></p>

<p>I actually pay for LinkedIn Talent whatever they call it now (it was called something else when I started and I have migrated over when they launched the new platform). I also have a Basic LinkedIn personal account where I can connect to people.

They (and an increasing number of other vendors) are applying algorithms to consolidate proliferating social data into individual people profiles and then giving you personal folders where you can store and tag candidates, email capability, and other CRM functionality. You'll see this topic discussed more and more in upcoming industry conferences, blogs and in forums like this. I recommend you also follow people like John Turnberg (who will present on Big Data in recruiting at October 2013's <a href="http://www.RecruitingTrends.com">www.RecruitingTrends.com</a> conference and Dave Mendoza (who consults in this space - see <a href="http://www.sixdegreesfromdave.com/">www.sixdegreesfromdave.com</a>).</p> It's good to know about the C…tag:recruitingblogs.com,2013-07-09:502551:Comment:17226752013-07-09T19:19:54.707ZIrina Shamaevahttps://recruitingblogs.com/profile/IrinaShamaeva

<p><span>Yes, LinkedIn is not the top tool regarding <em>any</em> export - to say the least! :) It's also interesting to find out exactly what happens with the location if you upload contacts to LinkedIn from another source. There's some very odd "location merge" functionality in the new Contacts that I don't quite understand. (I guess if you would like to export, it is not the lace to go to anyway).</span></p>
<p><span>I don't have the greatest suggestion for you on CRMs. We are using the "less annoying CRM", but for very limited purposes.</span></p>
<p><span>If you consider using Talentbin, I believe that they have CRM functionality built in now.</span></p>

<p>Thanks Noel, but these all seem to be ATS systems (most of which I researched or have used) when I was looking at ATS systems, but that is another story.</p>
<p>What I am looking for here is more of a Social CRM system.. somewhere I can load my candidates and also my LinkedIn contacts, and Twitter contacts. I want to be able to segment them by location so I can email them when I have a suitable job. I don't know if anything is out there that can do that...</p>
