This looks great Irina.  

[Emily Sobel]

For search engines, there's also Ixquick/Startpage

[Aaron Lintz (@SC)]

Agree that email/contact solutions may be a good separate section.

e.g. - Reportive

[Lisa Clark]

  A few I use  

HiringSolved   LeadFerret   scguild.com  social-hire.com  

Google Chrome Image search - Reverse engineering using image from one social site to find other social sites to seek contact information

Other tools to use to gather more social profile info:

Falcon.io

Rapportive

[Balazs Paroczay]

Hey there, hello Irina, this is again a fab idea! 

I could not live without some Chrome/FF plugins such as Google Image Search, AutoPager, whoworks.at, tweetdeck and bitly. (falcon, TalentBin already mentioned above). Also, email capturing and email verification tools are quite frequently used (I work with these ones: http://eel.surf7.net.my/ and http://www.fonant.com/knowledge/test_email).

For Recruitment Marketing purposes I use mailchimp to design eye-catching emails (loving their html campaign designers) but we also create about.me sites as well. 

From an international (EMEA) perspective I think I have earlier mentioned to you but alexa.com is still my Nr.1 site to see what sites work in which countries. A good starting point though this site can be, too: http://www.4icj.com/ 

Hope it helps! Lets go for a GLOBAL LIST, please!

Katharine,

Thanks! I am not familiar with Skillpages; can you please let us know a little more?

Yes, let's include these and LI Signal.

(I was also thinking of running a separate contest for the closest prediction of the outcome.:))

I like Email sourcing tools - things like Raprortive, email-format.com etc.

If it's going to be international then maybe include Viadeo, Xing, Plaxo, Skillpages etc.

How about social tools like followerwonk, falcon.io etc.

It would be interesting to know how many people make use of LinkedIn Signal.

Definitely agree that Bullhorn Reach should be in there.

Look forward to seeing the results of this - great idea!

So how would you use that to source candidates? Thanks :)

Adam Luckeroth said:

LinkUp would be a good addition. Jobs indexed exclusively from company career pages. No job boards, no duplicates, no junk. 

[Irina Shamaeva]

Please note: we accept input from everyone. That includes people who come from vendor companies or those who are affiliated with vendor(s).

Vendors are encouraged to disclose who they are.

Thanks,

Irina

You can add www.cvhaystack.com  also

Thanks

Skillpages.com should really be called "job title pages" - it's  directory of people by role/job title.

Skills.to is more about skills (skill tags) associated to profile IDs (like twitter handles).
