TO VOTE:

1. Click the Video Link: http://bit.ly/17IjuB (The video is titled: "St. Albert the Great MS150")

2. Click Login to vote directly under the video and register (requires just a name and email)

It lies in the conversations that evolve throughout the two days.-The people you meet at RecruitFest! are people that you will do business with.-RecruitFest! is very grass roots and the amount of stuff you’ll learn by attending doesn’t come just from the track leaders or most experienced recruiters but from every person around the table or in the room.-You cannot hide at RecruitFest!

Friends,

Have you checked-out this new website I found, http://www.gofishrecruiting.com/. Go Fish is a recruiter candidate and job exchange website that will be a great benefit for all of us. The site is FREE and allows us to confidentially market candidates and jobs to other recruiters locally, nationally and globally. Also, the site gives us access to candidates and jobs from recruiters throughout the world. I’ve spoken with the CEO of Go Fish Recruiting, Mark Tully and can tell you that http://www.gofishrecruiting.com/ embodies the same open networking philosophy that our group "The Recruiter's Association" believes in.

Here's how it works:

• Sign-up and become a member for FREE
• Upload your candidates and jobs• Start searching for candidates and jobs
• Your candidates and jobs are posted confidentially and you engage with other recruiters at your discretion
• It only took me 3 minutes to sign-up and upload my candidates and jobs!

Listing References by Brigitte Yuille from Nightly Business Report (NBR)

2009-03-20T12:41:00.001-07:00

If you are updating your resume, you will want to double-check that reference list, too. The contact information most likely has changed. So many people have been laid off or are not staying at their job as long as they have in the past.

Both the National Human Resources Association (NHRA) and Thomas F.X. Licari, president of the Illinois Recruiters Association, assure me that this list still carries weight, and has several purposes. For instance, finding out that you have a good character is nice, but employers are really questioning your references for information, such as your work ethic and accomplishments.

Here are some tips that you may already know when you prepare your list: three to five references are best, at least three should be from your supervisors or previous work associates who know your work, leave your family and social buddies out of this, and place the person who will rave about you the most first.

What if you barely have a list because you have lost contact with people, are returning to the workforce, or are searching for a job for the first time? Well, NHRA suggests that you offer copies of past evaluations. Licari says white papers that you’ve written regarding your profession, and the professional conferences where you’ve spoken about your expertise are the “new references.” Also, he also suggests leaving a professional footprint on the web that shows how you’ve interacted with the professional community. If you volunteer frequently for community organizations or professional associations, ask members if they can provide you a stellar recommendation.

Letters of references still work, but it really depends on who you ask. Licari, for instance, says he skims them. I’ve personally found that the recommendation works best when you have a supervisor write it and state that they are willing to be contacted for further information, if needed.

Most importantly, know that fudging information doesn’t work these days. Besides “Googling” you, firms will verify the information you provide through a third-party.
