Marriage Announcement and Passive Sourcing
Spreading the joy is always a fun. Even before the invention of the printing press by Gutenberg in 1447, weddings in the United Kingdom were commonly proclaimed by a town crier and then came the newspapers announcements.
Every Sunday Sunday Style(Nytimes.com) lists at least 3-4 pages of people who were married or engaged or going to be. It has its own wedding/celebrations page.
Cha- ching!
National papers like NYtimes has an entire section for online wedding directory and on Print Sundays or check out Wednesdays for Washington Post.
How is this important to sourcing?

Here's a small list of selected details I picked from last Sunday’s (NYtimes) paper. I left out there names.
- Account Director at Hawkins International
- Sales Director at Quickcomm
- VP Marketing FibroGen
- VP Media buying JP Morgan
- Sr. VP for Finance
- Project Manager with AIG
- Search Analyst at the American Institutes
- Sales Associate Goldman Sachs
- Director Private banking Citi Group
- MD and Counsel for AIG
- Marketing Manager for American Express
- Senior Analyst at Fortress Investment Group
- Consultant in the Health care for Navigant Consulting
Now each list announcement has the brides and grooms name, what they do, the co. they work for and were the live. What more you could ask for ? All you have to find is there E-mail id or phone number which is so easy.
Cha- Ching! Again
If you doing a Google Search-
It gives me more than 91 k results looking for a Financial Analyst in New York or New Jersey.
Marriage Announcements not bad at all! All you have do is to find people who are celebrating and may be you can add more joy with a new job.

So now the question is how ethical is it to reach out to these passive candidates.
p.s:- It’s a goldmine if you are looking for people working in law firms.
So won't you check you local newspapers for wedding announcement this week?
Stay tuned..............
Good posting. It takes a lot of time to gather names from every source, however.

I don't think that is unethical at all and even the online job boards are cashing in on it. New Australian site jobx.com.au allows a networking function similar to linked in where you can meet others in your field. Why not the details are there to take. Its not what you know but who you know after all
