8. 6:08Full Profile import phasesWhen importing form lists in bulk, Jobin divides the import into 2 phasesThe first phase completes very quickly and provides all the basic information about the contact, this data is sufficient to start interacting with the imported contacts and launch operations as you see fit.The second phase is automatically added to your operation queue in the background, it's a slower import, but it will import the Full LinkedIn profile with any and all details about the contact, including any available contact details, connection level information and Job-seeking status information; with all this extra data about the contact you can now easily filter for them at any time even within your own Jobin contact list, effectively providing you with a solid database asset.
9. 7:29Full Profile manager pageDouble clicking on a contact card within your Jobin contact list, or clicking on a contacts name will open their Fill Profile manager page.The entire page is restructured with the purpose of providing as much data about the selected contact as possible.The headline on the left panel provides a general summary of the contact and quick access to the contacts contact info menu, tags, and notes; below the headline you'll find all the details about their profile history and experiences.On the central panel are a series of tabs, each going in detail on certain additional aspects related to the profile, like attachable CV/Resumes, Job-seeking information, and the Job applications that the profile is assigned to.The panel on the right highlights all the less easily accessible important details about the profile, that you may otherwise miss out on, which can also be found more in detail while browsing through the other 2 panels.
10. 8:05Where do I find my imported ProfilesAll imported profiles are automatically added to your Contacts page within your Jobin workgroup.If during the import you assigned a Pipeline, then all the imported profiles will also be easily accessible from that Pipeline's "Assigned" stage.
11. 8:46What is the Jobin.cloud People FinderThe Jobin.cloud People Finder is a massive 3.2 Billion aggregated repository of profiles from all around the web.Sources are aggregated from multiple different providers/websites and then neatly indexed for you to easily filter through.
12. 9:27How to import from People FinderThe People finder is a filterable search interface, besides the standard filter best practices, Jobin features a boolean string field as well as some auxiliary AI features to help you auto-compile filters more effectivelyTo then begin the search, press on the "start search" button on the right panel. Search results can then be imported either individually or in bulk from the import button above.
13. 11:57Import and Enrich with contact info (in People Finder)When importing from the People Finder you also have the option to enable automated profile enrichment on importUnlike the LinkedIn contact info import, which is limited to what's on LinkedIn, this enrichment will run a full contact info enrichment of the profile from all around the web. This will require a Contact Finder credit, but the credit will only be spent if at least an email was found, any additional phone numbers, social media profile links, or any other details added during the enrichment are all added at no additional cost.
14. 12:25Google X-ray Boolean string generatorAny filter you have active in your Jobin Contacts page filters will be automatically transformed into a Boolean string that works with the Google and Bing search engines.Furthermore, you can make use of various facilitated graphical filter interfaces that will also generate the boolean string automatically for you, or even some more advanced operators like sentence anchor points and other unique X-ray search operators.
15. 14:07X-ray and Site search comparisonX-ray searches and internal site searches, like the LinkedIn site filters, each have their own pros and cons.Using LinkedIn as our reference, an X-ray search will on average provide x5 or even x10 times more results (even when targeting only LinkedIn profiles) compared to an internal LinkedIn search, but the search is strictly keyword based, which can be both good or bad. As long as the keyword exists in the profile, the X-ray will find it for you, making it ideal for hard to find niche characteristics, but if you only need something "current" the X-ray will struggle because it cannot easily tell apart current or past.An internal site search will generally be easier to use, but it also means you'll need to follow any limitations imposed within that platform, like in LinkedIn's case, searches will be limited to only around your network, and a limited amount of searches for free plan users.
16. 15:11Bulk import from Google X-ray searchTo bulk import contacts from Google or Bing X-ray searches (or any website) press the Jobin extension at the top-right corner of your browser.Once the extension is clicked, a dedicated import interface will appear from which you can then import the desired contacts.
17. 16:25Site Search Boolean string generatorAny filter you have active in your Jobin Contacts page filters will be automatically transformed into a Boolean string that works with the selected website.Furthermore, you can make use of various facilitated graphical filter interfaces that will also generate the boolean string automatically for you. This can help save time when you want to run a search through multiple websites without having to both navigate to the website as well as re-write the filter for each website's search.
18. 17:07When to use X-ray or Site searchX-ray searches and internal site searches, like the LinkedIn site filters, each have their own pros and cons.Using LinkedIn as our reference, an X-ray search will on average provide x5 or even x10 times more results (even when targeting only LinkedIn profiles) compared to an internal LinkedIn search, but the search is strictly keyword based, which can be both good or bad. As long as the keyword exists in the profile, the X-ray will find it for you, making it ideal for hard to find niche characteristics, but if you only need something "current" the X-ray will struggle because it cannot easily tell apart current or past.An internal site search will generally be easier to use, but it also means you'll need to follow any limitations imposed within that platform, like in LinkedIn's case, searches will be limited to only around your network, and a limited amount of searches for free plan users.
