However, Stan suggested I should revisit it and after listening to this podcast I realise now that it is quite a different tool and have been building up my profile and adding to what others had already created on my behalf. Thanks for sharing how it works here. Kathie M.

If I get multiple people, adding the company name or his/her school/ college's name as a keyword helps me zero in on the candidate. I must say that I am happy with the decrease in "Googling"+"checking linkedin, Facebook, Orkut etc that I need to do. To me Spock has been a way of getting my basic background checks done faster and more conveniently. Regards, Abhishek Chamaria Head Operation & HR, Brainwave url: www.brainwavelive.com Hi Stan,

I also felt that your interview with Jay was pleasant to listen to, very informative and of the right length. Kind regards, Paul Stan,
