  • Use x-ray searches to surface candidates you might not otherwise find. Add your location, swap out relevant technologies, and plug this search string into Google: site:github.com "location" ("3..50 followers")(jquery | hadoop)
  • Get candidates engaged with your company by including relevant links in your email signature. Press mentions, the Careers page, or your About Us section are all great choices.
  • Brainstorm reasons why a candidate might reject an offer, and raise them later in the interview process. Will their commute change dramatically? Is the role truly a step up for their career? Addressing these issues can save both you and the candidate time and aggravation.
  • Looking to evaluate potential candidates on more than their Facebook or LinkedIn profile? Use Google Chrome's built-in reverse image search to find other profiles where they may have used the same default picture!
  • Want to get a sense of a candidate's ambition while proving you're invested in their development? Ask them about their next job, the one they'd leave your company for.
