Blog Post: Try a new idea, let your mind expand the possibilities; begin your improvement effort by asking the question What If?: The goal of all teams is to resolve a problem.

Comment on: Topic 'inanchor: and other advanced Google search features': ages in which the anchor text on links to other pages contain the phrase "view resumes". This techniques works well sometime and others not so well. You can try the tidbit with other skills type keywords. To try and make just a bit more sense out of it, most of the hits you get will have a blue hyperlink somewhere on the results page that says "View Resumes". I suggest anyone wanting to experiment with the technique to start out with just the string snippet offered above and look at the results to see how it works. Then go ahead and add other keywords more relevant to the type of person you are seeking. Google also offers other, similar techniques one can investigate including allintext, allintitle, and allinurl.…; Added by Mark E. Berger to Boolean Strings at 3:05pm on November 11, 2008

Comment on: Blog Post 'The anatomy of the perfect recruitment email': were instructed to customize and personalize every single email, and address the person by name with reference to their LinkedIn (Github, etc.) profile. The other recruiter just sent emails that were not individualized in any way. After two months, guess which recruiter had collected the most and best resumes? Lol! It was the one who didn't write individualized messages. This was conducted over a sampling of 65,000 software engineers. Meanwhile, I am sending individualized messages based on one of your ideas right now, Roxanne. I really like the idea of treating people as individualistically as possible. Hopefully it will make a difference, although I see that in some cases it really doesn't. Cheers, Nick Meyler…; Added by Nicholas Meyler at 9:15pm on April 28, 2015

Topic: Recruitment and MultiMedia Technology?: ashFly Technologies. We're focused on providing the first job marketing platform on the market today...and so looking to talk with recruiters to find out how they are leveraging various technologies today to help them in their jobs. My first question is around how recruiters are, or are not taking advantage of the new multi-media technologies that are available today such as video, audio and graphics animation. We're trying to find out if recruiters have started to consider using these muti-media components in their job advertisements, or is this still something that is considered too progressive? If you have used video, or audio...in what capacity? What has been the results? have you seen increased traffic? Better quality candidates? As we delve into this area with our platform, we'd love to hear both success/failure stories from companies who have started to experiment with these new forms of job marketing.

Comment on: Blog Post 'Why Social Recruiting needs to fail': moment anyway there is nothing to buy. At no point do I say social recruiting is going to replace anything that already exists so I'm not sure why you think this is such a black and white argument As I said to you on my other blog everything depends on whether as an organization you want to be a leader or a follower. There is no value judgment as there are companies who are comfortable in either role. These things always play out against the classic tech adoption curve and we're still at the early adopter stage http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_adoption_lifecycle It’s no coincidence then that the early adopters of social recruiting (who I know for a fact are having success) are tech companies like Microsoft, Unisys and Cisco. Innovation is in their corporate DNA and that’s why they are first to properly experiment…; Added by Matt Alder at 4:19am on March 11, 2010
