I am always trying out new apps to make my recruiting desk more efficient. The recent purchase of Rapportive by Linkedin made me finally try the app that I have been reading about and I am sure glad I did. I thought it sounded like Xobni and it is but for Gmail.
Rapportive is a free app (recently acquired by LinkedIn) that shows you everything about your contacts right inside your inbox. Rapportive helps you build rapport quickly (hence the name) and is “relationship management built into your email.” It functions as a Gmail add on
WiseStamp is a handy dandy app that allows you to customize your email signature.
I use the free version in conjunction with Gmail and it works swimmingly well for both branding and presenting a professional signature from a web-based email account. WiseStamp is compatible with other web-based email systems like Yahoo! Mail, Hotmail, AOL and a few more (there’s a Thunderbird add-on).
