However, if you're still coming up short, you'll need to roll up your
sleeves. This is when I break out my super sleuth hat and get creative
with Google search operators. In majority of cases, Google information
retrieval yields more results than a company's internal search. If
you're not familiar with search operators, read this.
So what you'll do now is search Google, using the Google Search Operator Query "site:companywebsite.com" as your root and sprinkle in modifiers, like so:
Pretty much every organization has a unique, yet uniform company email addresses structure, which you can leverage in your search efforts, using advanced search operators. For example, at WordStream our email structure is “first initial + lastname@wordstream.com." But since each company has their own format, you'll need to play around with a host of possible email address structures using the root search operator.
Note: Use the standard format here "@," I'm using [at] so as not to active hyperlinks.
Another avenue you can explore for personal information are social media profiles. I've had the most success with social sites like Twitter and Naymz. And chances are that employing the original basic queries that I mentioned above will display if this person has a social networking profile at either of these websites.
So what you'll do now is search Google, using the Google Search Operator Query "site:companywebsite.com" as your root and sprinkle in modifiers, like so:
- site:companywebsite.com + [name] + email
- site:companywebsite.com + [name] + contact
