Hi Bryan, I think you're looking for is a sourcing tool since you're asking for multiple databases at the same time. Something like 'sourcepoint' by AIRS, might be - or might not - be your cup of tea. However, if you're looking for something free, consider reading up on boolean logic and search techniques. In particular the xray technique. Then, by using something like Google CSE or Rollyo, you can automatically search a few sites at the same time.

Good suggestion Jane. I do already have a personal resume pool although small, but growing.

Hi Bryan:

I just wanted to briefly say hello and introduce our resume spidering tool, TalentHook. Searching thousands of resumes sources including pay sites like Careerbuilder, network sites like LinkedIn, professional sites, alumni and college sites, search engines and the open web, we bring over 15 years collective experience in safe, fast, comprehensive automated resume search. If you haven't had a chance to take a look at our product, you may want to consider a quick 20 minute demo which you can request through our site: www.talenthook.com.

Consolidating resume search is one advantage to resume spidering, with a solution like TalentHook you can also eliminate duplicate resumes appearing in your results, you can rank your resumes, automate boolean search logic for all of your search channels, search your existing database for resumes you've already collected and more. It really can (when done correctly), shave considerable time off of your recruitment process.

Best of luck to you and if I can clarify or provide additional information, it would be my pleasure to assist you.

Best,

Cheryl
