    can it really be my long lost friend?
  • Slouch

    Hey Susan, Yes I will be doing some traveling. I will be at the ERE show in DC in Oct. and for sure at the Fordyce Conference in June. You?
  • Susan Burns

    Looks like we may be passing ships....I'll be presenting at SourceCon1 and ERE Amsterdam and then attending OnRec in San Fran and SIFE in NY. Would be great to see you if your plans change.

    Your initial About Me sentence is too long. (Ask JayDee). Also, you should call yourself Suzie; it's friendlier.
  • hans gieskes

    Hi Susan - if you're going to go to ERE A'dam don't do that "Suzie" thing, as the natives don't like that. They'll call you Suzanne which was favorite name subject for chansoniers in the sixties. A'dam was a cool place in the sixties and seventies, much more fun than nowadays...

    Hi Craig - Shally's seminar on sourcing yesterday with HireAbility was fab! He is a true genius and has taken the art of sourcing to a whole new level. He has probably delivered more value to the industry in the past few years than all combined within the past 20+ when you look at the art/science of sourcing passive candidates - certainly the introduction and growth of the Internet played a part :)) but he has mastered the technology and packaged it...shared it and championed the technique!

    Hey Susan, so what exactly does your new company do?

    Hi Maren - just seeing your comment. Agree that VisualCV is quite cool and we'll probably see early adopters in the creative space - design, media, possibly even recruiters.... The bigger concern is - how do companies deal with the amount of information and data stroage? How do they deal with searching video files? I need to go back and look around more on VisualCV to see how extensive the search tools are and what content is touched. Have you found an ATS that can store all of this data - and in a format that is searchable and retrievable? Would love to hear about it if there is one. Otherwise, it means managing different systems for talent and more complexity. Thanks for your thoughts. Looking forward to seeing you in Vegas!

    Susan,
    I enjoyed reading your profile today. I'm interested to connect, my sister lives in Portland and I'm often visiting. My career slowed down a bit after taking a year off when I had my daughter in 2006. I've started consulting as a recruiting professional since I now live in Eastern Washington (3 hrs East of Seattle) and am getting up to speed now on getting re-connnected. I appreciate connecting with you - your detail here has been of great value. Sarah West sarah.swconsult@gmail.com

    Hello Robert,
    You have indicated that you are interested in setting a time to meet during the upcoming Kennedy Conference. We we will meet at the Benihana Lounge at the Las Vegas Hilton on Tuesday May 13 from 5:30- 7pm. We will be located on the lower tier of the lounge, and you will be able to ask the bar tender where we are located. This will be a very informal gathering of people in various networks who are attending the conference and want to meet other attendees, so please feel free to bring anyone you like. I look forward to meeting you soon!
