Free tools for recruitment and sourcing teams

These free tools help with two recurring sourcing jobs. The boolean search generator turns job titles and skills into a search string for LinkedIn and a Google X-ray query. The savings calculator estimates what LinkedIn Recruiter seats and manual sourcing hours cost you each year. No sign-up needed.

Which tool do you need?

Start with the question you have today. If you are about to search for a vacancy and want a clean string without typos in the parentheses, use the boolean search generator. It produces a string for LinkedIn and job boards, and a separate query for Google X-ray search on public profiles. The boolean search guide explains the logic behind it.

If the question is whether your sourcing set-up is worth changing, use the sourcing savings calculator. It works with two numbers, your Recruiter seats and the capacity spent on sourcing, and shows an indicative annual figure with every assumption visible. For a calculation based on your own contracts and team, go to the business case.
