Free Resume source for Recruiters
Here is a quick and efficient way to search resume for free and get introduced to a good set of free recruiting tools that are available for you that you may not know about. Free-For-Recruiters has a resume directory with tens of thousands of resumes for you to search. I like to search the data base off site through Google.
If you use the site command your results come back a little more targeted but overall the internal search is strong. The internal search is also powered by Google, so it’s your preference. The site also has a mini directory on the main page organized by vertical for easy searching.
Here’s a quick example of a site search you can use to round up some gather some strong candidate. The resume does include all contact info for you!
Basic site search: (obviously changing the terms to meet your search)
Keyword1 Keyword2 site:free-for-recruiters.com inurl:resume location
For this example I used the following string leaving off the location (defaults to USA)
engineer lean site:free-for-recruiters.com inurl:resume
The results are pretty good and efficient. The search above shows 43 results. So, here is a screen shot of what the actual resume looks like once you decided to hop in and take a look. The presentation is just normal text, but relax it’s free and you get the contact info from the candidate.
All in all, this is a great comprehensive resume search tool to add to your arsenal. Let me know your thoughts and any resources you find to be helpful.

Ryan – I like the twist! Thanks for the intel!
Like most job boards, this is loaded with crappy resumes.
Hey John – Thanks for the comment and read here. I appreciate your time on the site.
I don't necessarily agree here. Job boards are really strong sources of great quality candidates. It's really a matter of how a sourcer is able to uncover the resumes. Not sure if you are referring to the argument that a resume board is less worthy than passive candidates?
It's an interesting argument but seriously in the end, it's about the recruiter’s ability to uncover the best available talent at anytime. It's no secret that sourcing is skill, but there is a lot of science behind the task. 2 sourcers side by side using the same database will pull drastically different results. This is not because of random search results being returned. It's the search itself.
Thanks for the comment and read. I'd be interested to learn your take on resume boards if you’re open to expand on the topic.
its true that not only the applicants are in need of resume, i think so as the recruiters need a resume too.
