Can I Just Whisper About What Is Broken?

chris@recruiterguy.net — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 23:49:27 +0100

I know that my core expertise over the years has been recruiting and sourcing. I don't call myself a guru of anything except my own thought process (and even that is sketchy some days!) But I do interact with a fair amount of people within the social media and social recruiting sphere - both veterans and newbies alike. And I have had my fair sRead More...

RecruiterGuy's Onrec Experience #Onrec09

chris@recruiterguy.net — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 18:14:24 +0100

If you asked me how OnRec/Kennedy went last week (Nov 2nd-3rd) I'd have responded with mixed feelings. Heck, I'm still a bit confused as to if I'm terribly fired up to attend again. After all, with ERE and SocialRecruiting Summits (also ERE) being knocked out with more polish and frequency it's tough not to compare the two side by side. It cerRead More...

More Mobile Than Ever - And Webcasting About It

chris@recruiterguy.net — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 21:57:17 +0100

I know it's hard to believe - but it's true. RecruiterGuy.net is now even MORE mobile than it was before. This week I grabbed the mobile knob and cranked it all the way to the right. I've signed on with a new service and platform called Everywhereigo. So I'm here to be living proof that it doesn't Read More...

Preventing the Social "Time Suck"

chris@recruiterguy.net — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 10:20:34 +0100

In August I posted an article that told Recruiters not to be scared of social that was a follow up to another article related to the evolution of recruiting. So in the spirit of keeping at least some of the content on RecruiterGuy.net relative - and in addressing a few open points in each article, I post Read More...

Squeeze It In... You Know You Want To.

chris@recruiterguy.net — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 09:37:44 +0100

I'm honestly one of the busiest people I've ever met. So when a conversation comes up with my peers and colleagues in the industry about trying to stay healthy while juggling massive recruiting strategies, insanely large implementations, family time, professional networking and the rest of what has to get done it always comes downRead More...

You Left With 3 Things, Didn't You?

chris@recruiterguy.net — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 12:53:57 +0100

Just a quick post to give you some food for thought over the weekend in regards to mobile marketing and recruitment. As I've spoken at several venues of various sizes over the last 4 months about social and mobile recruiting, I always love to ask the audience what they left the house with that morning. Check out this quick video posted where I posed the question to a local chapter of the RecruitersAssociation.org. Is your answer the same?

RecruiterGuy's ERE Expo Summary

chris@recruiterguy.net — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 21:56:20 +0100

Let's just say it... the event was a hit. ERE Expo 2009 (#ereexpo) was without a doubt one of the best recruitment and talent driven events I've ever attended.

Mad props go out of course not only to the speakers at the event but to the awesome team led by David Manaster of ERE. His vision of ERE becomeRead More...

Will LinkedIn Climax?

chris@recruiterguy.net — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 09:36:46 +0100

Two years ago I made a predication about LinkedIn and its direction. In recent months I’ve seen many signs that this prediction is well on its way to coming to fruition – or at least towards something pretty darned close. And while I’m glad to say that it was something I sawRead More...

Recruiters: Don't Be Scared of Social

chris@recruiterguy.net — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 07:55:32 +0100

In following up with a recent article and some emails received (seriously guys, you can hit the comment boxes - I'm not the only opinion on this blog - don't be shy) I think it's time I expanded a bit on The Evolution of Recruiting. The article was published here on RecruiterGuy.net Read More...

Today, I Rant.

chris@recruiterguy.net — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 07:26:29 +0100

What follows is almost a clearing out of my pending articles. Over the last month or two I've accumulated several posts and topics that have sat unfinished in the drafts folder - each close to being finished but not given the time or attention needed to craft my message as I'd ideally like because of my current schedule and workload.

Paperless Résumés on your Mobile

chris@recruiterguy.net — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 21:06:27 +0100

It wasn't too long ago that I did a quick review on beamMe Pro, an iPhone application that allows you to share your contact information electronically and some remarks about the announced beamMe CV. Since then the application has really grown in popularity as well as the number of features it provides it's users. With Geo-mapping tRead More...

Don't Staff Referrals...

chris@recruiterguy.net — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 21:33:48 +0100

I sent out a tweet late last week that resulted in 3 emails, a direct message and a public request for clarity. If you've been reading my ramblings for any amount of time you know that it usually doesn't take that much to get me to respond with an article - so in the interRead More...

It's Time For A Change in My Job...

chris@recruiterguy.net — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 16:34:25 +0100

I've been recruited from my previous job. But I'm not changing companies.

Effective today I no longer have direct responsibility for filling a requisition or managing any Recruiters that fill requisitions. While in my previous role I was accountable to both interactive recruiting strategies for AT&T and a team of direcRead More...

The Evolution of Recruiting

chris@recruiterguy.net — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 10:43:42 +0100

I recently had the pleasure of sitting in on one of the Future of Talent sessions conducted by Susan Burns and Kevin Wheeler. I was really impressed with the number of hot topics addressed that were related to recruiting and corporate change, and the conversations that were held as a result. (I'd really recommeRead More...

Context is King! Long Live The King!

chris@recruiterguy.net — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 07:45:46 +0100

I've been saying it within smaller personal and professional circles for just over a year. I even brought it into a very deep conversation in the wee hours of the morning with some peers and colleagues while on the road recently. But I haven't really said much about it here. So I will.

I'm ofRead More...
