How to source Profiles using Stackoverflow and Behance?

Before hiring on Stack-overflow you should know some basic information about it

Stack overflow has information such as

• User name
• Bio
• Location
• Member since
• Company info
• Profile views
• Reputations
• Badges (Gold, Silver, Bronze)
• Tags
• Questions Asked
• Recent activity.

Recruiters can identify the weightage of the profile under the activity tab by their reputations, Tags, communities also the Badges. Recruiters can also identify the User Name, Location, Social links like LinkedIn/Twitter.

“Reputation is a measurement of how much the community trusts you, earned by convincing your peers you know what you are talking about.”

Badges: (https://stackoverflow.com/help/what-are-badges)

• Gold badges are the highest honour,
• Silver badge is to recognise contributions that have been favourites of the community.
• Bronze badges are awarded to encourage participation.

#Tags represent the expertise and the languages.

If you wanna use exclusively I would recommend you for Stack overflow Talent which is a paid version where you can search candidates by Experience and send In-mails.

Or you can search basically by X-raying:
