We always recommend creating Search Alerts for candidates and/or jobs that match your niche, but here's another great idea.
Consider creating an alert for your local market. You may not normally do a lot of local work, but it's an easy opportunity to pick up a job that fits your wheelhouse or a candidate that can be worked into an MPC presentation. We're aware of several members who have done this and wound up making some unexpected splits. Give it a try - especially if your bread-and-butter activity is slow.
