“I tend not to share many blogs I read, but Irina <\/span>S<\/span>hamaeva’s<\/span> Boolean Strings blog really is the best place to learn new practical useful sourcing techniques. It just filled with well-researched stuff that works. I know a good bit about sourcing, sourcers I respect have, from time to time, called me a sourcing expert, but rarely does Irina post a blog where I don’t learn something. I don’t think I could recommend a better sourcing blog.”<\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
