eGrabber™ will showcase its custom solution to import resumes from social networking sites into Excel at Fordyce Forum 2008, to be held in Las Vegas from June 4-6, at Booth #201.
The new Social Network Grabber for Excel is specifically
designed to help search and placement professionals who
prospect for potential candidates on social and professional
networking sites. With Social Network Grabber for Excel,
recruiters can quickly import profiles from networking
sites into an Excel database. Manually extracting resume
details from these sites is a tedious and distracting
task for busy recruiting professionals. Instead, recruiters
can now do a search for matching profiles on the network
and with a single click, import all of them into Excel.
eGrabber's solution will automatically open each individual
profile, copy all relevant details and transfer it, along
with the resume, into columns in an Excel spreadsheet.
eGrabber will also exhibit the new and updated versions
of its passive candidate sourcing tool and resume import
tool - ResumeFinder and ResumeGrabber Pro, respectively.
eGrabber™ showcased its passive candidate search tool at the Onrec Expo 2007- a conference for the online recruitment industry- on September 18 and 19, 2007 at booth 112.
ResumeFinder is specifically designed to help HR professionals quickly search for resumes using Google™. ResumeFinder uses advanced Google™ search logic and techniques that have been developed, tested and proven by recruiting experts and then packaged as patent-pending search scripts into the product. Recruiters need to enter only the desired resume keywords, and ResumeFinder then programs Google™ with all the appropriate search strings to find only relevant resumes.
ResumeFinder works in concert with eGrabber's existing
ResumeGrabber Professional product. The Google™
search results found using ResumeFinder can be readily
imported into ResumeGrabber's grid for processing.
Conference attendees received a free copy of eGrabber’s AddressGrabber product with every demo of ResumeFinder.
