  Search Public Profiles on Plaxo using Google  
   

You can use Google to search the public profiles of Plaxo users. Many recruiters use Plaxo not only to manage their database of candidates, but also to target hard-to-find passive candidates.

The Google search syntax to search profiles on Plaxo is

<keyword> site:plaxo.com (intitle:profile OR inurl:profile) -intitle:sign -inurl:public

For example, if you are looking for profiles of website developers on Plaxo, the search string would be

(web developer | web programmer) site:plaxo.com (intitle:profile OR inurl:profile) -intitle:sign -inurl:public

Most public profiles list the person’s contact information (at least the email address).

  Customize Internet Job Postings based on the Site / Network  
   

Do you run job postings with the same message, similarly worded, on all sites? A job ad that is effective on a job board (a place for active candidates) will not perform equally on a social networking site (a good source for passive candidates). You should not be surprised if I told you that, for the same ad, the response you get in LinkedIn will be different from that on Twitter or Facebook.

So in designing ads, you must understand how the different sites and networks work, the audiences these sites attract and their general mood. It is better that you always come up with 3 messages for every job opening you would like to advertise - 1 each for general purpose sites, niche sites and social networking sites - for maximum effectiveness.
