Here are STEPS & SOME TIPS - Whether you Select a Job or I Assign one to You

1. JD – Create Job Description to Send in Follow-up
2. Create New Invite – Or use the Standard Template
3. Create a LUSHA Search – (or soon a SignalHire Search)
4. Read Profile, decide if good, and if yes, then send invite 

Tips on Creating the LUSHA or SignalHire Search

1.     TITLE

a.     The search engine looks for Titles that include the words you type in. Some results will not be correct, but they will include the words. For example, in LUSHA, if you need to find a Software Engineer and you type in Software Engineer, then you may get people in the results with titles of: “Manager Software Engineer”, “Director Software Engineer.”

b.    If the search results are too large and you want in Lusha to exclude those, you can type in “manager” and then exclude, and type in “Director” and exclude.

c.     ALSO – In signal Hire, if someone had a title that matches what you searched for, but it was a few years ago, then their profile might also come back in the results.

2.     LOCATION

a.     If the Job Description says it is remote, (most often this is IT, Software, DevOps roles), then search the entire United States, or if too many results, then search several of the main states in a time zone. The states where most people live are on the east coast, down to Florida, then Texas, Illinois, and the mid-west in the north.

b.    If it is a manufacturing, production, nursing, manager job that has to go into the office a couple days a week, or every day, then find the zip code of the city and use it for 25- or 50-mile radius. DO NOT also type in the city in the space above, the Zip Code, in Lusha. It messes up LUSHA’s brain. I think it searches then ONLY for people in that city and overrides the radius.

c.     If it is a SALES job covering a territory of 1 state or a couple of states, then search by that state, not the zip code.

3.     INDUSTRY

a.     In Sales, Production & Manufacturing, Engineering and Software Development, some companies want the person to come with experience from a specific Industry, so try to select a variety of Industries that make similar products or sell the same service.

b.    If it is a DevOps or network engineer or security engineer, or Accountant, then these people usually can work easily in any industry. Their job function is either about computers or numbers and that is the same no matter what the industry.

4.     KEYWORDS – SignalHire

a.     In SignalHire you can add Keywords that the Job Description says they would like people to have experience with. This is a good tool. For example, I did a search for a job Tanya selected in both LUSHA and in SignalHire. It was for a Production Manager in Oklahoma City Oklahoma. In LUSHA there were more results, but many people did not have the experience desired on the Job Description. Apparently, the client must do some sort of printing jobs for their clients. The JD said they want experience with “plating” OR “prepress” OR “grinding”.   In SignalHire I got only 100 results but 20 of them had those things on their resumes and experience as production managers in some printing type of company.

b.     I will make a training on how to use SignalHire, but remember when you use KEYWORDS, this is how you enter them – with the quotation marks:

 “plating” OR “prepress” OR “grinding”

ALSO, I will show you in SignalHire, we do not have the LINKEDIN icon to click and open the profile, unless we pay for it. It costs about $.40 cents per open. So we you opened 50 a day, that is $20 per day per person. 5 of us, that is $100 a day, 20 days in the month, that is $2,000 – which I will not pay for! LOL )) 

       So, in the training video I will show you how to find the person quickly on LinkedIn without clicking to open the contact info.

ALSO – I will show you how to look up the company name, in case the person works at the right type of the company, but is not the right candidate, we can find the company and then look under PEOPLE, and type in part of the title of the job we are searching for and there is usually a profile of the right person!
