OSINT – Open Source Intelligence also known as the deep web. Also known as the non-indexed part of the web; Open Source Intelligence is the art of collecting information which is scattered on publicly available sources. In contrast to traditional intelligence methods, OSINT utilises overt channels for gathering information; The added benefit is that there is no direct interaction with the target which substantially reduces the chances of raising any red flags.

Recruitment related intelligence to reveal: • What location do competitors have or plan to open? • How large are those locations? • How many openings in a department/team over a specific milestone? Is the same job always open? • Increase in job postings to specific areas of growth? • Removal of job postings predicts “bad news” before it happens? • Apply for the job posting as an ideal candidate and what happens? • What does response or lack of response tell you?

• Creditors • Patents • Licences • Vendors • Suppliers • Donors • Publications • Extension Ranges • Authors • Office Codes • Email Domains • Stock Symbols • Abbreviations • Location & Branch Names Acronyms and more.. Stay creative
