As with Google’s advanced operators, we can do most of useful work in Excel with just a few of its capabilities.ġ) The Data menu has the Sort and the “Remove duplicates” (a.k.a. I have been hesitating giving a webinar on MS Excel since I am not sure of a “sexy” title for it (let me know if you can come up with one □ ), but I believe that Excel remains a must-use tool for any sourcer or recruiter. What helps the sourcing productivity – big time! – is using parsing, filtering, and sorting within the results we get from general web searches (sometimes with the use of parsing tools). What matters is not the search string, but the “top” results that makes sense to look into further, and the top potential prospects to call on the phone. While it’s a nice search exercise, the truth is that it is quite often not possible and is not our goal.
