Topic: Digging Into RecruitingBlogs.com V2.14 5 Recent Things: innovation in recruiting to explode. I've been looking closely at trends and examples. I have a weird perspective on the 'future'. I think it's already here and we are in the process of trying to uncover it. The best descriptions of what's actually going on sound like science fiction. Our biggest challenge is always trying to see what is right in front of us. So, my work involves trying to understand the things we are experiencing in a larger context. Some times I get it really right, sometimes I get it wrong. I get it right more often. Overall, the idea is to deliver these views to readers who want to have their beliefs challenged. It's boring stuff for someone who wants a pure tactical input. You'll hardly ever see me write a piece called "How to..." You can get that other places. The Twitter Revolution I, II and IIITwitter isn't what you think it is. The service lays the groundwork for a semantic search engine. The more stuff that gets input, the greater the demand for intelligent search. The Twitter folks have proven an interesting point: collaboration is best facilitated by less functionality rather than more. Just WorkA job is the only asset that doesn't devalue. There's an emerging movement that takes a different view of work. Instead of the 00s emphasis on position and title, this view is more 19th century. A good job is worth having, engagement passion or not. Job Boards Revisited I, II and IIIRumors of the impending death of the job boards are highly exaggerated. With a small bit of adaptation (see Jobvite), they have 30 or 40 years of good life left in them. In the downturn, the number of job boards continues to grow. Consolidate and FragmentOver the coming months and years, we’re going to see a lot of creative destruction. Tons of social networks will get formed and abandoned. Ning resemble a huge shanty-town from some perspectives. Lots of starts rotting on the vines. The early web was just like this Novotus 1 and Novotus 2Mike Mayeux is doing something different. It's a little unfair to call his project an RPO but that's the current nomenclature. The enterprise wraps basic recruiting services into functional modules and then sells with a guarantee. It's revolutionary like one of those jets that works best at speed. I'm on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Friendfeed.

Comment on: Topic 'Digging Into RecruitingBlogs.com v2.08: The Death of Sourcing': cruiting, account managing or doing PR and sales. So maybe I am not the right person to be commenting because I have has little use for the different titles. A reminder that I only recruit in IT and only in Minneapolis so maybe that impacts what I see. I am not sure I have a position or not on the topic but here are perspectives from where I sit: I continue to be surprised at the number of people making $50K+ a year not on LinkedIn. Staggering may be the better word. I am a huge fan of LinkedIn as a recruiting tool. The issue with LinkedIn is two parts: - Users, sure you can find their name, location, industry and employer but their profile is not complete and you have no idea what they do - Recruiters, most are on there and do not know how to use the system and are annoying non Recruiters. Most have no clue what they are doing or the damage they are causing. Oh, and many of their profiles suck too I am shocked at the number of companies asking me to do a tutorial for them on how to use it. Is it really that hard to use? I am seeing a lot of people in IT saying they see no value in being on LinkedIn. Marketing folks too saying they have other places to “show off”. I have people asking me on Twitter why I am suggesting that when they do not have a link to put in their profile they should use their LinkedIn URL. I have been doing a job search presentation or two a week for the past three months and it has opened my eyes very wide to what candidates think of the recruiting process, job boards, LinkedIn, Social Media, etc. I suggest that we need to understand what they think and how they react to what tools we use or want them to use. Yes candidates are becoming easier to find but if you talk with them you will find many are not enjoying being found. Now I may think that is a mistake on their part but this is how many that we are trying to get to feel. I am shocked at the number of LinkedIn profiles that have not been updated or just abandoned. If companies are not able to keep their recruiters for a period of time then the relationship with the employer may/will be gone. The recruiter will still have them but the company will be out of luck. I know of a Recruiter being sued by a former employer saying that the LinkedIn profile of the Recruiter is company property as it was created, built and maintained mostly on company time with company email. Will this be a growing trend and if so, how long until the community organizer is sued? I do wonder how many of the social networks on Ning (anywhere) are active. I wonder how many members of any social network are active or engaged. How many social networks are run by a somewhat capable community organizer. Being a community organizer is difficult. Very, very difficult. Communities take a mighty long time to build and one major miss step in the process can bring the end of it. Relationships absolutely matter but what will you do to locate those to have a relationship with? I am really big on Social Media, social networking sites, LinkedIn and community building but I do suggest that a “balance diet” of the previous plus email, phone use including cold calls, networking, newsletter, RSS feed, job boards, optimized job ads, blog, talent pools and whatever I am forgetting are all needed tools. The tools mentioned all have different results depending on the person using them, skill set/industry of the candidate pool and location. I think our industry should spend less time making gadgets and more time on training recruiters to speak and relate to people. Yikes, looks like I have a lot on my mind...…; Added by Paul DeBettignies at 9:54pm on February 27, 2009
