Do you find it hard to keep up with the demands of hiring managers and your own recruiters’ name-gen requests? Would you like to be able to fulfill those faster? Is the data you want prohibitively hard to get, either not obvious how to scrape it or otherwise unearth what you know is somewhere within a people data-rich website?

In the part 1 webinar a few months ago, we covered the easy methods, mostly using Instant Data Scraper and DataMiner. Then we were asked to go deeper using examples and tools that require something more complex.

The good news is you can still do it ALL FREE if you know how with the right tools!

We’ll show you how to access and use a couple of key resources in Google Chrome’s Developer Tools:

• the Network tab (and how to combine it with Postman or Insomnia, tools that do API calls)
• the Web Scraper tab (after installing Webscraper.io -- not your typical Chrome extension).

Now you’re not limited by complex page layouts requiring multi-step automated scraping processes. And with the Network tab, you aren’t even limited (in most cases) by the number of results per page that are normally displayed, and it even returns fields of data per record you don’t really see on the webpage itself! We’ll show practical sourcing examples of both kinds.

It’s all public data & legal (no firewalls breached). It can shave hours off your weekly output whether it’s conferences, events, research sites or social profile repositories (including great tech communities beyond GitHub, but we’ll show you some tricks there, too) that are rich with people data that you thought couldn’t be tapped without time-consuming individual copy-and-pastes, and you’ll have it all in nicely-formatted columns in Excel files or Google sheets -- either in seconds, or if it’s more complex, just set it to run, get a cup of coffee and return to download your auto-generated results.

But some steps leading up to that are not instantaneous: you must dig behind the scenes. You’ll learn to get comfortable with the right mouse click > Inspect option on websites!

Both our presenters are uncanny in their ability to take advanced sourcing topics and boil them down to their clear, step-by-step essence, making seemingly complex tools and methods easy to understand and implement at your own desk with practical examples you probably have on your own passive prospect pipelining ticklist.
