100 Country Codes On LinkedIn




If you log out of LinkedIn and look at its home page, you will find some invaluable information, including a list of 100 countries that have their own URL’s. The exception is the US profiles that have the www beginning along with many smaller countries. For your convenience and at the request from my listeners today, here is a list of the codes:

How to Source on Github



Some professional sites with software developer population that charge recruiters arm and leg to access the user data, like stackoverflow, are quite hard to search. It’s possible, but it’s not easy. Github is a place where excellent developers hang out, that provides its own clean ways to search for its content – and its users:



If you are not a fan of search operators, you can simply do this:
Add a couple of clever keywords… (not necessarily these, but this example may give you some keyword ideas) and see results like this:






I never said that we should be emailing people as soon as we get hold of lists like this. More research and pre-qualification is always a good idea. But that’s quite a bit of sourced data in one quick shot!
X-raying on Google is also possible but the results are a little harder to browse. Try this:
X-raying on Bing, however, will not find a single thing:
guess, why.
I will be explaining this type of people sourcing techniques in-depth at the upcoming webinar on how to source on professional sites, coming up on Tuesday, January 22nd. As usual, the slides, a video-recording, and one month of unlimited support will be provided for all who sign up.

Thanks to Booleanstring to sharing this...
