We combine various Boolean and use Various combination to search Passive candidates.

Some tips on how to find passive Candidates
1. Try intitle:resume AND "job title" AND location AND (Other keywords)
2. If you have targeted Companies try searching their Default Email address and then put that default email address in google. Default over here mean firstname.lastname@xyz.com OR lastname.firstname@xyz.com Etc...
3. Try Searching PDF, Doc, Xls, Ppt files and try extracting names from them.
4. Searching Xls file will help us a lot in this field.

6. Use Yellowpages.com, whitepages.com, pipl.com to find contact info.
7. Use google Cheatsheets, which will less dows your working time.
