Dean Da Costa (SSAR) has a new souring sight that is awesome

Dean Da Costa (SSAR) has unveiled an amazing new sourcing site! Many of you might already know about https://start.me/p/GE7Ebm/ssar, which Dean has diligently updated over the years. Now, he’s launched a new platform called The Sourcing Links, and it’s fantastic. The free Bronze tier offers a wealth of powerful tools all in one place, including X-ray search, Boolean search, CSS, email and phone lookup, email verification, and much more.

Make sure to check out his YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@DeanDaCostathesearchauthority, where you’ll find a variety of instructional videos on how to utilize the site effectively.

I joined a Google Meet with Dean and a few others today, and I was blown away by the demo. Even though I primarily use LinkedIn Sales Navigator and SalesQL and haven’t really dabbled in X-ray or Boolean searches—after 26 years in the field, it’s tough to teach this old dog new tricks—I’m definitely signing up for the paid version. If you’re well-versed in Boolean or X-ray searches, I’m sure you’ll find this resource invaluable!

IT Recruitment vs. Tech/SaaS Sales?

IT Recruitment vs. Tech/SaaS Sales

I’m starting to feel a bit burnt out in IT Recruitment and I’m curious about how it stacks up against a career in SaaS Sales.

I really enjoy the sales, negotiation, and social intelligence components of IT Recruitment, and I have a solid understanding of the tech landscape from a recruitment standpoint.

Has anyone here worked in both fields? I’d love to get your insights on how the two roles compare at a high level. I know the skill sets are quite transferable, and if I’m considering a transition, I’d prefer to make the move sooner rather than later.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
