Pressed for time?
Sometimes when pressed for time and want to get a quick jump on a search, use the combination of Linkedin and Jigsaw which may expedite kick off candidate flow (Results vary depending industry).
JIgsaw works on a pay or point system. Every contact you upload you receive 5 points. If you add a company that is not listed you receive 15. If you invite someone and the sign up you get 125 points. To purchase a contact - costs 5 points or 1 dollar.
www.jigsaw.com Free to sign up.
On linkedin I find a profile that I want - I go into Jigsaw and cross reference the name- If name not listed then go with similar title and location. That way you can figure out the email pattern.
(Jigsaw/Linkedin Combo)
If I find a name on Jigsaw I cross reference that name with Linkedin to find out more details about their back ground.
Simple quick ways to get things rolling.
