Leveraging the social sites frequented most by tech pros can be the difference between success and failure. But with the recent explosion of social data, that\u2019s no easy task. So how do you dig through all the data to really get to know a candidate? According to sourcing authority Johnny Campbell, <strong>you should focus your efforts on the following nine sites <\/strong>for the best indication of a candidate\u2019s technical and cultural fit.   Johnny\u2019s favorite sites for assessing technical fit tell him where developers store open code, like  <strong>GitHub<\/strong>, and provide a glimpse of how often their repository is viewed or copied by their peers. Other sites, like <strong>Stack Overflow<\/strong> and <strong>Quora<\/strong>, provide a view of the candidate\u2019s reputation and participation in Q A forums \u2014 an excellent indication of the prospect\u2019s expertise. If you\u2019re looking more for a graphic designer, Johnny relies on <strong>Dribble<\/strong> and <strong>Behance<\/strong> to view the prospect\u2019s actual design work.   Recruiters get a complete snapshot of candidates when they view their activity on popular social sites. For instance, Campbell notes that people tend to put their best foot forward on <strong>Facebook<\/strong>, so that if you don\u2019t like them there, you probably won\u2019t like them at work either. He values <strong>Twitter<\/strong> for evidence of what third-party content a candidate is interested in. Sites like <strong>Foursquare<\/strong> and <strong>Meetup  <\/strong>indicate the places candidates go in pursuit of their leisure or professional passions. And <strong>Klout  <\/strong>provides a quick summary of the key topics they\u2019re most interested in. Yes, getting the full story by way of these nine sites is essential. But the key, according to Johnny? Getting this information <em>quickly<\/em>. That\u2019s exactly why he\u2019s a big advocate of Dice&#8217;s  <strong>Open Web<\/strong> because it brings together data from the 130 sites that matter most and presents that data in ways that are simple for recruiters to act on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the latest installment in our Social Recruiting Pro Tips Series.
