Finding Specific People on Twitter

[Christine McKenzie]

Hi All,

 I am looking to connect with Medical Advisors in Canada on Twitter...to date I have had little luck locating many. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

 

Hope everyone is having an excellent week!

 

Thanks,

Chrissy M

Chrissy-

I tried the following in Google & came up with quite a few (but they are LI profiles):

site:linkedin.com "medical advisor" "canada area" (inurl:pub | inurl:in) -intitle:directory

You may want to see if any of those profiles have a Twitter link or @name on them.

You can also try Tweepsearch.com

I xrayed Twitter using Google & didn't come up with any-

Thanks Gary! As always you are much appreciated! Also, glad to hear I am not missing anything with xraying twitter through google.

Agreed - I tried x-raying twitter from google using the following string

medical advisor canada site:twitter.com intitle:"on twitter"

It looks like recruiters are the top results.

I tried the following search of tweets - it might be worth saving it and checking every now and again http://search.twitter.com/search?q=+Medicine+OR+medical+near:Canada...

I found this guy - http://twitter.com/aap53

Hope that is a little bit helpful.

I also tried this string with no results:

site:twitter.com "bio * medical advisor" canada -job -jobs

Maybe another title will bring back results-

Gary - I guess its possible that these type candidates do not use twitter, however I thought I might find one or two. The title is specific, perhaps they are just being vague or general in their bios. I will try Tweepsearch as well per your suggestion.

Thanks Again!

Christine,

Here's a complementary approach. Some people have the right background but may not have used the "right" keywords on twitter. If you find their email addresses in some way, you can try to locate them on twitter using a temporary gmail account and the twitter "find friends" function.

A similar approach would be looking at LinkedIn profiles that have the right info, and hopefully have their twitter ID is the profile as well.

Goog luck.

Irina - interesting - my original reply indicated to look at LI profiles to try to find a Twitter link! Same as one of your suggestions!

Thank you Irina! Good idea - I do have a pipeline from past recruiting and a list of email addresses...I will work on that today. Hope to meet you at SourceCon this year if you are attending!
