Several months ago a passive candidate search tool was posted on here. It was a Google-based search if I remember correctly.

When I went back to use the link I bookmarked it was no longer working. Does anyone still have it? Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Recruitment Strategy is probably one of the most misunderstood and misused terms tossed about in our industry today.
