Weekly Recruiting Tip
Quick and Easy Usenet Searching
By Shally Steckerl

Usenet discussion forums have always been a valuable venue to debate viewpoints on just about any kind of issue from the full range of human discourse. Experts share their knowledge and advice by posting to forums in Usenet. Google Groups contains an archive of such postings in discussion groups dating back to 1995, representing more than 600 million posts.

At http://groups.google.com you can search through these gold nuggets of information. Of particular interest to recruiters are three types of documents: resumes, technical responses and signature files.

To discover resumes, go to the Google Groups home page, enter your three keywords and add the following keywords: my insubject:resume.

Like this: ASIC FPGA VHDL my insubject:resume

Simply vary your three keywords to find resumes in many other technical areas. Traditionally Usenet has been the realm of advanced technical discussions so what you will find most here are resumes for technical candidate and not many for the soft skills professions.

People frequently go to Usenet to have a question answered. Those who answer questions, particularly very technical ones, are generally experts. This many not always be the case, there are enough experts in these forums to make this a worthwhile source of leads.

To find a response start with limiting your search to subjects containing the word “Re:” and then enter your keywords.

Ex: insubject:re: micron SDRAM design

This search produces over 800 messages you can scan through. There are no resumes here but you will read postings from people answering questions related to SDRAM and the chip design company Micron. Look for the experts providing positive answers to technical questions. In the posting you can frequently see their email address and sometimes the company for which they work.

We can find postings from experts in a specific company by using the search term “author:” and then the target companies root email address like this:

Enter: author:@micron.com

All the results you see there are from people with an email address at Micron.com. They may not all be technically relevant but they are all from that company. You can easily scan the 120 or so results to pick out those of people who may be good leads.
