How to source on the lesser known sites!! Hi5

Hi5 is a social networking site were you use games, suggestions, and shared interested to connect

With others. Hi5 is well known in the community and some have tried to source in it. Well to do

 this without worry you need go no further than into your bag of tricks and pull out an old  tried

and true tool, called x-raying.

So to source within Hi5  you simply need to create an x-ray string, like the one below.

site:hi5.com developer

site:hi5.com/profile developer

If you run the strings above in google you will get the results below, mind you both strings work and will give slightly different results

Now keep in mind you will not see their names or contact info. However if you look in the URL there may be some info, and perhaps more importantly you will see their current company, title, education etc. All that info is more than enough to cross reference in Linkedin or other social sites to find the rest of the info.

If you need more info on X-raying see my blog post http://www.recruitingblogs.com/profiles/blogs/seeing-what-is-really...
