Writing this book would not have been possible without the support of my friends: Maisha L. Cannon, Mark Tortorici, Justin Clem, Balazs Paroczay, Tris Revill, Ji Kuchta, and many others. Thank you for believing in me and being my everyday inspiration for being better sourcer and better human being.

I also want to thank those who inspired this book, even though they probably will not read it. Also, special thanks to everyone in the sourcing and recruitment community for sharing your knowledge with others and for making our lives much less painful than they could be.

Thank you for sharing!

The recruitment industry is a fantastic field that is continuously evolving. Even after all these years, I am still amazed at how many talented people are in our field and how they are actively trying to make the lives of other recruiters and sourcers easier.

I know that there are no shortcuts that will turn you into a great recruiter or sourcer, so I am not going to promise or offer you some silver-bullet solution that will turn you into a super recruiter. I hope you will find inspiration in this book, and I hope that you will see that even though you don't always see an easy solution for some of your sourcing/recruitment problems, there is always a way!

It is my hope that you will appreciate how great being a recruiter/sourcer can be, even though our profession is a constant battle with the time and frequently goes beyond the expected nine-to-five hassle of corporate life. The productivity and overall success of a company are dependent on us, the recruiters and the sourcers. Night and day, we labor to take the talent burden off the shoulders of our companies and find the right people who will help the company grow.

That why we need to tirelessly seek out new knowledge that ensures the provision of the right candidates and simultaneously saves time and costs in the hiring process.

Enjoy this book!

I published my first Full Stack Recruiter: The Modern Recruiter's Guide at the end of 2017, which means it was published before the GDPR came into effect, and before controversial events, like the one with Cambridge Analytica.

All of these events can have a minor or major impact on sourcing techniques and methods. Additionally, due to other decisions that Google, Twitter, and other companies have made, I have decided to share what has changed and how these things have had an impact on sourcing.

GDPR and Cambridge Analytica

Both of these have had an impact on sourcing and affected a number of things that I mentioned in my original book, such as:

Facebook

The page www.facebook.com/directory/ was disabled.

I used the company Tesla in examples. However, Elon Musk has since decided to close the Tesla FB page after the world found out about the Cambridge Analytica case. This has affected the examples that I used. However, the method described in the book is still working, just not for Tesla.

WHOIS Domain Trick

On May 25, 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) took effect. This means the WHOIS "disappeared." In the new public record system, personal data are no longer visible either to individuals or companies. The method I described for revealing the contact details of companies is no longer working and getting information from domains is not so easy anymore.

Google+

Because of the GDPR, the trick about how to check the email address is not working anymore, and it was blocked by Google.

Google - Range operator

It appears that Google is slowly removing the range operator (..) from their search engine. In some parts of the world, this operator is no longer working, but when you are using a VPN, you can find locations that are still working. You can try some other search engines or metasearch engines that still support this operator. I expect that this range operator will completely disappear from Google in the near future.

Because of that decision, some parts of the strings that I mentioned in the book were affected. In particular, the strings where you are searching for phone numbers. Luckily, there is still an option for how to target the numbers (dates) in your string.
