As as recruiter you must be using some tools for time and cost efficiency. But there are some tools that not only saves tons of time and money but is very easy to use and increase the productivity.

Below are some of the tools that I am in love with.

eToggler.com (Chrome extension to pull linkedin contacts with email)

eToggler's chrome extension is dream come true for any recruiter. It can be found on google chrome store eToggler Chrome Extension.

What it does?

1) When you're on Linkedin profile you just need to click on button at the bottom right to collect all social info into dashboard. It's very quick. The info which will be collected are first name, last name, title, company, public link, location and Email.

2) It auto finds the work email for the individual you parsed in dashboard. The most amazing thing I am in love with. Though it works on around 70 percent profile but still is very useful to me as I don't have to look for emails using other sources.

3) eToggler's dashboard even allows you to search by name and domain to find anyone's email address.

4) If you already have a list of names and domain/company name you can even import it in the section "Email Group" to quickly append email for them.

It is very inexpensive compared to other sources and pricing starts with $29/month and user gets 600 email credit. That's too much!!!

Rapportive

Rapportive shows you everything about your contacts right inside your Gmail inbox.

You've got mail…
  • Who is this? See their happy smiling face.
  • Where are they? See if they're nearby, and arrange to meet.
  • What do they do? See their job, company, and LinkedIn profile.

Recruiter can use this tool to get insight on the candidates. You can even use it as email verification system.

Rapportive Hack: As you know many people on Linkedin use work email as their primary email. Since this email is attached to their Linkedin account you can use different email pattern to obtain correct email address. For eg. Mark.Smith@xyz.com, msmith@xyz.com, Mark@xyz.com, Smith@xyz.com and so on... The one which pops up Linkedin profile is the right one. 

PCRecruiter The most trusted name in online recruiting and resume management software; applicant tracking systems, recruitment systems, and recruiting software.

I primarily find this applicant tracking system as the best and very easy to use. It's been used by thousands of staffing firms worldwide and the single reason is its capability to manage candidate, clients and open jobs.
