Sourcing Software ... what's the best ie. egrabber, talenthook, diver etc?
- Rating: No Rating
I'm trying to decide on the best sourcing software and have over the past few months done demo's on egrabber, talenthook, broadlook diver and was hoping to get users perspective on pro's and con's. Admittingly the diver tool requires a lot of experience with search strings, cheat sheets and other hands on tools which I don't have so it maybe too much work for me to learn. I do have monster/careerbuilder access so to be able to use one of the tools like talenthook does have its pro's but not sure how good of a tool it is to source the net and social sites. Just wondering if I am missing another software tool and what others would consider to be the best application? Thanks for the help.

Forget eGrabber. I paid $750 for it and it never worked. The company is totally disorganized and has the poorest customer service I have ever endured. Melody

Hi Melody
My company, eGrabber, prides on providing one of the most responsive phone support in the industry. So I was surprised by your comments. I had our support people go through the support logs. It shows your License expired in March 2009. Prior to that you made one support call in AUG 2008 and it was responded to. Is that the call where you had bad experience? Or was there a call or email you made to our support that you did not get response to?
My name is Chandra Bodapati and I am the CEO of eGrabber,
I would love to get more details from you. We are always interested in closing any support gaps we have.
Please feel free to send an email direct to me
We would love to have you back as a customer.
We are innovating constantly to increase the daily productivity and efficiency of candidate sourcing and lead generation professionals.

Hi Jason
We at eGrabber make tools that are easy to use out of the box.
They also allow expert users to add their own scripts and customize the products for their needs.
Our product development goal is "Make it Easy to Use. Easy to Teach"
We cater for the masses. Which means our prices are always going to be very competitive.
We have also been in business for 12+ years.
I feel our ResumeFinder/ResumeGrabber combination is the best sourcing tool combination that exists for a recruiter. It packs a lot of punch at a small value.
Send me an email if you have any other questions.

Karen,
Glad you asked, and you are not the first person to ask me a question like this. I have good relationships with several vendors, am using a number of products as a sourcer, and try to see demos of most interesting sourcing tools that come out. I have no affiliation with any vendor and plan it to remain this way. My recommendations come from my personal experience. I think this way is better for my (pretty large) audience and for myself as well.

KarenM said:Irina are you associated with broadlook in anyway? please advise - not trying to be rude, but have noticed that your name comes up with broadlook pretty frequently, and would appreciate knowing if you are affiliated, or if your recommendations are based upon personal use and not because of affiliation or association

I also like EgrabberPD, and yes, I am affiliated with them as I lent my sourcing brain to the design of the product, but I stand by the power of Semantic Search coupled with Egrabbers ability to aggregate information. If you would like a demo let me know and I can set it up.

As a researcher and sourcer, I have tried a lot of tools as many of you have and it is unfortunate that there is no silver bullet out there, but eGrabber does a very good job of simplifying the boolean process and takes the hard work out of developing search strings. It can net strong results when used properly. I also use the Broadlook tools and find they still require a lot of messaging. Talent Hook is a good tool combined with an ATS. At the end of the day, there are many tools available and you need to learn how best to use what tools for whatever purpose so building a tool kit is a necessity.
