Good post Laurie. There's a line in one of my favorite Frou Frou songs that goes: "I Read you and God I'm good at it I'm so spot on Cold Shapes in air compress that dissonance If you dare". This entire thread/convo/debate/and your and John's relat...

Treat your job search like a. . .job search

There've been a few (very good) posts floating around lately about how to treat your job search:

like a wedding (I would never do this because then my mother would be intimately involved in my job search and that is no bueno)… Continue

Social Recruiting or Whatever

It seems like everyone's talking about social recruiting these days. There was recently a very impressively put together conference dedicated entirely to the subject. Now the domain name is for sale and everyone seems to be saying that social recruiting is the way to go. Meh.

What I find most interesting is how confused I seem to be on the subject. I started out in recruiting knowing less than not… Continue

Enough already with the snark-fest

A few weeks ago, I found out that a comedic actress I really like had joined Twitter. I immediately followed her and realized her TwitterStream was comprised of about 50 messages to see her new movie. I was a little irritated but decided to keep following her. Here's why:

When I was 14, I moved from California to Nebraska. I knew no one, save my family and had no attended the junior high. Essentially, I started high school as a complete newbie. But I wasn't worried. A military brat, used to fre… Continue

Do we have to be SO social?

You know it's kind of a funny question, since chances are, you heard about this post on Twitter, hopped over to read it on the blogor in a community. Why would I ask that here? Why in this post?

Because it's been on my mind, that's why. As I've made the slow transition from marketing to recruiting back to social media marketing, I've watched some interesting things take place. One of those things is the extremely rapid adoption curve that seems to accelerate with every new service and "sharing… Continue

Job Search and Ponytails

Photo 7

So I am going to stop apologizing for going so long between blog posts. The economy's in the crapper, we all have to work harder and longer and I wish I had more time to write blog posts but I don't, so for now I'm gonna be cool with my once a week schedule.

Today, I was thumbing through some magazine an… Continue

What do you like best about RecruitingBlogs.com...
The ability to let one's hair down and enjoy the company of other professionals who do what I do and do it incredibly well. I enjoy learning from people who I never would otherwise have access to and hearing the questions of recruiting professionals newer than myself! I like the ability to chat and share our triumphs and woes and that Jason hears it all in my British accent!
...and what would you change and why?
I would like to see some attn paid to the sales and deve end of the business. That is a large part of recruiting and currently represented in substantial numbers in our community. Where's their help? Otherwise, currently, I am very happy with the setup. I firmly believe that if you take a few minutes at the beginning of each day to learn a little something new (which is always provided here on the main page) it will make you a better recruiter. I would love for us all to be able to chat all day long but then no one would get any work done. i do like Susan's chat room as I believe it is a natural extension of the thought pool that exists here and before now, was largely untapped.
