Comment on: Blog Post 'Why Should You Care?: Blogging': ute and 20 seconds - rather that was the rule for thumb in TV (local news, in particular) where a viewer has a remote in their hand. The beauty of the blog is the person who 'mouse'-clicks over to your post actually wants to read it... or at least was attracted enough to the link to give it a read. But it seems to me the art/skill lies in both the attraction to the blog as well as the ability to hold the reader's attention. So many blogs leave you wondering "why the hell did I click on this again?" or simply bore you to tears. Can these blogs lure you in with 'tricky' titles? Absolutely. But do you think there is a fine line between the ability to attract people to the store for a good deal vs. attracting people to the store for a substandard product? Thank you for your insight - it's very much appreciated! And thanks for the 'Welcome'! (p.s. I only used "purple cow" to illustrate that the issue is how to create a blog that attracts attention - not necessarily a strict adherence to the theory... Who Moved My Cheese is brilliant, btw).…; Added by Sean Ryan at 3:11am on March 2, 2010

Comment on: Blog Post 'Top 10 Reasons WHY Having ADD Is Truly A Benefit When You Are a RECRUITER!': lf. One, I think it's important to recognize that the second "D" in "ADD" stands for "Disorder," and this component should not be taken lightly. Those who suffer from this disorder (I am not one of them) often have a very difficult time with it--sometimes even after it's properly diagnosed (as evidenced by Slouch, above, for example). I realize that your mission was to offer a potential positive outcome for those with this disorder, and you should be strongly commended for that. My second point is to establish that it is possible that each of the traits mentioned in your post could be possessed by people without ADD (despite the presence or absence of a natural tendency toward those traits). I know that you did not intended to suggest otherwise--I just wanted to point this out to all your interested readers who may lack the disorder not to feel that ADD is a prerequisite for recruiting success. I'm going out of my way here to ensure that my comments are not improperly interpreted. I think this was a great article, and really appreciated your providing hope and possible direction to an under-served segment of our population, all with the intention of providing a win-win result. Thank you.…; Added by Harvey Daniels at 10:20am on November 11, 2010

Comment on: Topic 'New to Twitter, Any Suggestions': ot a tool I would use to pick up candidates but it might be a tool where you can provide useful content to potential candidates over the long term ( Key term "Long Term"). I use Twitter to keep track of my many interests and I suggest you don't do that (Takes a long time to build a following that way) so here are a few tips based on your end goals... a) Focus on common topics that are inter-related: Jobs, Recruitment, Employment, HR etc ... Follow Recruiters and other professionals you are Influenced by in the industry and do so by making a list and or specific industry lists - where now folks seeking jobs can also follow your lists (Social Media is a 2 way street provide useful relevant content - build target following give and receive, share, and comment, retweet and mention key actions in Twitter) - Follow blogs/bloggers that you feel are useful to you and your potential candidates rbc, hbr, ere etc ... Follow Companies you like with respect to Job posts as now that content adds relevance to your target followers. If you write a blog or have a Company Website with a Blog you can now tweet useful info that your followers can use in some way. This allows you to build influence amongst your network - Also allow you to re-direct traffic back to your linkedIn account or your Company Website. Keep in mind that the more useful/relevant/helpful info you provide to your potential target followers - the more followers you can acquire based on " info you Tweet " ... This becomes more powerful if you have your own Blog or a Corporate Website that provides useful content and (NOT JUST JOB POSTS) . I will stop here and leave you with this Twitter is not LinkedIn (Jerry and Sandra are right in this respect) but must be used to build your influence in this case Recruiting online if used with a Blog it can be very powerful but this is a long term investment. I suggest you do more reading to look at Best Practices for utilization of Twitter for the longterm - Lots of great articles on HubSpot and Mashable ...…; Added by Paul Alfred at 5:06pm on January 24, 2012

Topic: New Contracting Clients for 2013: of bringing on new clients in the past, but lately I feel it is harder than ever to add new clients, especially consulting/contracting clients. I find that 9/10 cold calls to new clients end with a "no" for some reason. "no" could be for a variety reasons: "we are happy with our current vendors", "not using recruiters now", "try us back in a few months", "Call this person, blah blah, then just end up leaving a voicemail that you never hear back on", "can't add a new vendor", etc... I'd say the majority of my openings are fulltime roles, and would love to diversify and venture into more contracting/consulting type openings. I think contracting/consulting is very helpful to level out the peaks and valleys of fulltime recruiting... Any tips on where to find or how to land new consulting/contracting clients for 2013? Cheers, Evan ps. part of me wishes I could just google search for it and there will be a big portal of clients that are looking for recruiters, but I think that is just wishful thinking...…; Added by Evan Gary at 9:38am on January 5, 2013
