While Internet Explorer is the most widely used web browser on the planet and has the lions share of the market at this point at some 60-70%, Firefox (at close to 15% by some accounts) is in my opinion the best browser. For Recruiters and especially Internet Sourcers and Researchers, Firefox can be used to grab as many resumes as you can take. Think millions if you are ambitious enough!
Firefox has what they call “add-ons” that you can attach to the browser to make searching, bookmarking and other tasks very easy. One add-on in particular I want to show you is called DownThemAll. Let’s say for instance you were doing some boolean searching for resumes using Firefox. Let’s also say that your search string pulls up thousands of resumes. DownThemAll makes it possible to download all items from your search with a few quick clicks. Here is a video example:
