Need help searching for candidates online?

LinkedIn and Facebook may get all the press, but if you’re looking for recruits online, here’s another place to check.
Wink is basically a search engine that compiles results from different social networking sites and other places where you can profiles of people (like LinkedIn, Facebook, Google, etc.).
It gives you the basic search functions you’d expect from personal profiles, like name, location and interests. Most importantly for recruiting, there’s also a “Careers” search field. You can enter the type of job you’re trying to fill and your location, and it should come up with plenty of results.
It’s much more general than doing a resume search, where you can search for years of experience and specific skills, but you do get a lot of names. From the results page, you get linked to the person’s full profile where you can get more information.
