BoothCrawler is announcing the launch of their new recruiter tool, a service that collects business cards to source passive candidates from all over the country. Clients are able to view the contact information for thousands of contacts in the company’s extensive database.

Morehead City, NC - Clients looking to source passive candidates from a variety of technology related fields no longer need to wade through outdated information online or travel to distant tradeshows. BoothCrawler's new recruiter tool does the work instead, with a vast database of contact information from thousands of business cards gathered at tradeshows around the country.

The search for passive candidates has traditionally been a tricky one. In most cases, recruiters use social media and Internet searches to gather their information, which can provide incorrect, outdated or even nonexistent contact information. BoothCrawler solves this frustrating problem by allowing recruiters to source passive candidates with their extensive database of technology related companies. With the information BoothCrawler gathers from hundreds of technology tradeshows each year, recruiters now have the option of browsing through one database to gather completely updated and accurate information.

“BoothCrawler really is the recruiter’s unfair advantage in terms of sourcing passive candidates,” says company president Stephen Nilsen. But an unfair advantage is what most recruiters need in order to stay on top of the competitive market. Tools like LinkedIn and Jigsaw, while providing a valuable resource to recruiters, are often loaded with inaccurate, outdated, incomplete or exaggerated information, making the recruiting search time-consuming and sometimes ineffective.

BoothCrawler’s unique database provides the only source of 100% authentic information that’s taken directly from business cards gathered from tradeshows and entered into a comprehensive database.

Business cards tell the recruiter who the person really is, says Nilsen. With the actual business card scanned and uploaded into the database, clients can personally view the cards to get an idea of the personality of the recruit.

With BoothCrawler’s new recruiter tool, clients have the option to enter any search parameter, which gives them detailed information for the type of recruit they’re looking for:

- Company name
- Contact’s name, company, title, direct and cell phone numbers, email, fax, website
- Trade show name and date from where the business card was acquired
- Market segment
- Geographic search (country, state, metro area, area code, zip code)
- Custom search criteria

With thousands of cards added to the database each month, recruiters truly have the advantage for searching passive candidates using BoothCrawler’s service. For less than the price to rent an email list and a fraction of the cost of other recruiting tools, recruiters have access to information that’s light years ahead of traditional searching and recruiting methods.
