Doing industry research off-hours is an essential priority for all recruiters.  It is a recruiter’s responsibility to leave no stone unturned, and social networking, professional association, and niche specific sites or publications are a must to master.  There are copious amounts of industry and niche-specific sites that exist, should be saved as “favorites” in your browser, and revisited on an ongoing basis.

In addition to those sites, the Web-Based Name Gathering section of the NLE Library will provide examples of basic search strings and universally relevant websites that could be valuable no matter the niche. Because of the constantly evolving nature of technology, please let us know if any of the links are no longer valid, search strings have changed, or websites are out of date.  We have provided several examples of helpful websites and e-sourcing strings to enhance the tools you are currently using, and to dip into the vast expanse known as the Internet!
