The Bayt.com <a href="http://virtualjobfair.bayt.com/" style="color: rgb(0, 88, 168);">Virtual Technology Job Fair</a>, a close collaboration between <a href="http://www.bayt.com/" style="color: rgb(0, 88, 168);">Bayt.com</a> and Dubai Internet City (DIC), with Mediaquest as media partner, will aim to do to the Technology industry what the first Bayt.com Virtual Education Fair did to the academic industry, ie make the matching of talent with opportunity faster, easier and more effective.</span></font></p>

They can also chat with IT company representatives, ask questions and learn more about specific positions, the culture and career plans in the company. Meanwhile leading corporations can advertise current positions at all career levels, source, screen and shortlist relevant candidates and chat with professionals about their career plans and potential fit with the company.</span></font></p>

Clear advantages for Jobseekers include the fact that the online job fair is completely FREE, requires no travel/commuting costs and is the most effective platform to interact with the IT industry’s top recruiters at every career level. For the Middle East’s IT Employers advantages of the VTJF also include substantial savings in costs and time as well as the invaluable opportunity to maximize exposure and reach out to the IT community of the Middle East’s #1 jobsite which currently enjoys over 4 million registered professionals. Bayt.com has more or less single-handedly pioneered the Virtual Job Fair space in the online world across the Middle East and has already launched a number of highly successful and extremely well publicized localized as well as pan-regional Virtual Job Fairs in the past year. The Virtual Technology Fair promises to be just as attractive and vibrant a platform for the Middle East’s top IT recruiters to meet the Middle East’s top IT talent.</span></font></p>

Expanding on Susan Burns' Social Recruiting Presentation in New York<br />
<br />
In a <a href="http://www.totalpicture.com/shows/recruiting/susan-burns-talent-synch-podcast.html" target="_blank">20 minute podcast interview</a> on TotalPicture Radio, Susan Burns, founder and Chief Talent Strategist of Talent Synchronicity, responds to the follow questions:<br />
<br />
A lot of people in corporate America look at all the buzz surrounding social networking -- especially Twitter -- and roll their eyes with comments like: This is all hype - how is Twitter going to make me money? What's your take?<br />
<br />
The terms Social media and social networking are used interchangeably. How do you differentiate the two? Especially in recruiting?<br />
<br />
In your presentation at the Social Recruiting summit, you talked about building "talent communities" - can you share with us some direct benefits you've seen in developing these communities?<br />
<br />
When talking about collaboration and innovation, one example you gave at the summit is a site called innocentive.com can you share some of its story with us?<br />
<br />
At you session you had the audience divide into 2 groups: one from a job seekers perspective, and one from an organizations perspective. What did you discover from this exercise?<br />
While we're on the topic, what did you learn at the Social Recruiting Summit?<br />
If you were in a job search today, how would you approach the process in what is obviously a very challenging environment? The Glass Half Full - It was delicioustag:recruitingblogs.com,2009-09-15:502551:Topic:7425702009-09-15T03:12:37.257ZSlouchhttps://recruitingblogs.com/profile/Slouch
The Glass Half Full Wine Event was sponsored by the <a href="http://www.humancapitalinstitute.org/hci/hci.home" target="_blank">Human Capital Institute</a> at the <a href="http://recruitingblogs.ning.com/forum/topics/wine-tasting-and-lounge-at-ere" target="_blank">ERE Conference</a> in Hollywood - Florida that is. It was so amazing I feel that saying anything more about it would not do it justice but I know I have to so I will do my best to capture the many great moments of the evening.<br />

The Glass Half Full Wine Event was sponsored by the <a href="http://www.humancapitalinstitute.org/hci/hci.home" target="_blank">Human Capital Institute</a> at the <a href="http://recruitingblogs.ning.com/forum/topics/wine-tasting-and-lounge-at-ere" target="_blank">ERE Conference</a> in Hollywood - Florida that is. It was so amazing I feel that saying anything more about it would not do it justice but I know I have to so I will do my best to capture the many great moments of the evening.<br />
<br />
The wine was delicious. I don't know how to explain it any other way. It was a selection of ice wines, regular wines, lots of port and champagne getting their corks hacked off with a very big knife. It was all very good. I know it was expensive wine and though that does not mean something is good, in this case, with this evening, all the wine was just way over the top good.<br />
<br />
I always think that no one will show up and everything is going to fall apart. The first one to walk through the door was <a href="http://www.google.ca/search?q=ethan+bloomfield&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a" target="_blank">Ethan Bloomfield</a> and he says I have 5 other people coming is that ok. I said sure. The next one in was <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/kwheeler" target="_blank">Kevin Wheeler</a> and he picks up an empty wine glass that says The Human Capital Institute on it and heads over to the <a href="http://www.ussommelier.com/" target="_blank">sommelier</a>. They start talking, Kevin gets something delicious poured into his glass and I knew at that moment the night was going to work out just fine.<br />
<br />
All night long, people were discussing wines and recruiting and everything. People were enjoying the sea breeze from the balcony and there was a ton of great food and the amazing thing is, all the wine got finished. I couldn't believe it. I think there were about 50 -70 different people who came through the door and grabbed a glass and ( I'm gonna make up a word here) became deliciousified by the unbelievable deliciousness of all that wine and champagne. I'm still recovering.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://recruitingblogs.ning.com/profile/marenhogan" target="_blank">Maren Hogan</a> organized the entire event and made sure the night ended up being the night it was. Thanks Maren, It was really amazing and I got so many compliments on how great the night was and everyone knows you are the one who put it all together. <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/jdakers" target="_blank">Josh Akers</a> - that guy knows how to work and he also knows how to sell , but the thing he is absolutely best at is that he knows how to carry vast amounts of ice from one place to another place. He and I moved mountains of ice about an hour before everyone showed up and then we moved furniture, cleaned glasses while opening lots and lots of wine bottles. We were the help.<br />
<br />
It was amazing to see so many people having a good time in a very nice room with a view. Everyone was talking about stuff that was interesting and it was being discussed everywhere. It's good to catch up with old friends and its good to make new friends.<br />
<br />
I want to say thanks to everyone who came out to help create a very memorable and delicious evening and I want to say Thank You very much to <a href="http://www.capturewines.com/" target="_blank">Capture Wines</a>, <a href="http://www.recruitingblogs.com/top-100-v116-allan-schweyer" target="_blank">Allan Schweyer</a> and <a href="http://www.humancapitalinstitute.org/hci/hci.home" target="_blank">HCI</a> who thought that sponsoring the <a href="http://recruitingblogs.ning.com/forum/topics/wine-tasting-and-lounge-at-ere" target="_blank">Glass Half Full</a> event was a good way to start a relationship with RecruitingBlogs.com Green Shoots of Economic Recoverytag:recruitingblogs.com,2009-08-21:502551:Topic:7300072009-08-21T12:51:53.657ZRD Whitneyhttps://recruitingblogs.com/profile/RDWhitney

This has been a fabulous week for our upcoming global industry gathering November 3-4 in Chicago -- and a sure sign of the recovery!<br />
<br />
There are now just 4 open spots on the Expo floor, and our registrations are growing quickly. We are on track to produce the largest gathering of online recruiting professionals in the world -- right as the recovery is starting to take place!<br />
<br />
Networking is obviously important to you and your career; this is why you are a member of the thriving Onrec online community. Well, this is the “hands-down” best opportunity to network face-to-face with your peers and customers, learn about recruiting innovation, and advance your knowledge of this rapidly changing industry.<br />
<br />
Great hiring organizations have already have reserved their seats including: Fidelity, Motorola, Ameriprise, Wal-Mart, Adobe, BASF, Sprague Energy, Reebok, State Farm, Yahoo!, GE, Starwood, Atria and many more…<br />
<br />
In addition, many of the game-changing recruiting innovators have already booked and are planning to use our event, central location, key customer audience, and ideal date to give their businesses the right boost for the recovery.<br />
<br />
It has clearly been a tough recession. But the sun is coming up, new green shoots are visible, and the best place to create opportunity, to learn, to re-invent, to go face-to-face with customers, to network with colleagues, and to grow in our dynamic marketplace is…. this conference:<br />
<a href="http://www.Onrec.com/Expo2009">www.Onrec.com/Expo2009</a><br />
<br />
I hope to see you there. Together, let’s get this recession behind us, deliver even greater innovation and productivity to the recruiting process, and prosper as an industry!<br />
