Good morning,

Ever have a sterling client with whom you lost touch over the years...or stellar candidates who could really benefit your recruiting today, if only you hadn't lost track of them 3 years ago? Did you know tools exist online that can help you track them down (and no, I'm not talking about the usual white pages and stuff)?

It's easy! And here's how you do it.

Companies come, companies go....but companies almost always leave tracks when they're online. And those tracks are quite often recorded in a place you can use for free.

It's called the Wayback Machine, and it's at http://web.archive.org . This site keeps copies of websites from 1996 on up.

Let's say that you heard of that incredible techie resume site, http://www.techresume.com . Nowadays, that site is a free tech resume search created by a San Juan College and Intel partnership....but long long ago, back before the earth's crust cooled, yours truly (when she was a recruiter) built that site to facilitate the uncovering of quality resumes.

Put this into your own context. Do you know of a site that has disappered, yet you could greatly profit if only you could uncover current contact information?

Visit http://web.archive.org now and enter:

http://www.techresume.com

Then click on January 13th, 1998. Voila, you'll uncover the site I built those many years ago. And if you click on 'Contact Us', you'll see a direct link to another site that I own today ( http://www.virtual-coach.com ) which contains current contact information.

Again, apply this to your own needs. If you can uncover websites that no longer exist online, you can probably uncover contact links to other sites that still might be active today! This would certainly assist you in your online recruiting, indeed. Being able to peer back into the past can give you an edge your competitors simply do not have.

ThankYouVeryMuch!
