Comment on: Topic 'Cloud Recruiting?': ell and managed to grow our business by 30% in the midst of the economy crashing, until now. We have 3 recruiters and 2 BDMs and about 3 job openings and we are about to lose several contractors (not a good situation to be in). My manager asked me to find some training on how to build our business, get new job orders and find the right people for the jobs. Other than our internal database, and of course referrals, the boards have been a strong source for us and have recently ceased to be effective. I had been seeing more and more of the cloud recruiting methodologies and thought this would be a good training course for us to do. If you happen to know of any other training courses that we can benefit from please do share! I am in dire need of some direction and advice! Thank you again! Mike Hard said:It is, first of all, a brilliant marketing slogan. Even if the concept had no meat (it does in my opinion), whomever coined the term was smart (or annoying depending on your POV).I'm sure there is a company or person out there who is claiming it as the basis for thier pitch or offering, but in reality it refers to a concept that is broader than anyone company or person. It's been discussed several times on recruitingblogs over the past couple of years.The term originally comes from "cloud computing" which has been around for about a decade and refers to software applications that aren't stored on your PC but exist somewhere on a server (or servers) on the internet. Think MSFT Office (local) vs. Salesforce.com (Cloud). It's any app that leverages the internet as a key source...for storage, for processing, for data, etc.Cloud recruiting can be seen as the extension of that concept to recruiting. As with many trends, however, this started pre-recession and in my opinion is getting traction now that the slow job market is forcing recruiters to try dramatic new things. Many recruiters use "the cloud" or internet to do traditional activities better. They use LinkedIn to source candidates thru the internet. They use BountyJobs to find job openings thru online marketplaces. The internet cloud enables them to find jobs or candidates or information at scale in a way that they simply weren't able to do 3-4 years ago. I'm sure others have other applications of the concept.If you google the term you will find some good presentations, many of which however are a little out of date. Search the term on recruitingblogs and you'll find some good ideas. Hope that helps …; Added by Lisa Nabors at 11:07am on April 19, 2010

Comment on: Topic 'People vs. Technology - Are Recruiters Facing Extinction?': ir company. Or they outsource a group located elsewhere to act as their internal recruiters. I find my recruiting parameters/constraints getting tighter all the time. I see zero benefit to recruiting on the Internet. Any technology available to me is available to my client companies with their technologically adept recruitment staff. I figure I'll only be out of business if two things happen. One, US companies literally offshore outsource all our professional jobs due to the high cost of business in the US and low cost overseas. Two, internal recruiters are able to access the same passive/invisible gainfully employed prospects I can. My survival, as Maureen Sharib points out, is predicated on the phone. It's what I do better than my clients. Take that away from me, Paul, and I don't see where I survive. Being on the phone my skills don't today translate to the Internet driven corporate internal recruitment side--least not yet. So I'm always in pursuit of phone work ignoring every single Internet recruiting trick/approach out there. BTW, I'm definitely not having my "best year ever" and personally know of no recruiters who are. Maybe I'm (we're) doing something wrong and others doing something right.…; Added by bill josephson at 10:36am on August 23, 2011

Comment on: Blog Post 'It’s Time to Take Another Look at Headhunters': found, and dragged kicking and screaming back to the client company. A good HeadHunter is just that - a head hunter. They are not an employment agency, they work for the client and their skills are more slanted to the human side of the hiring equation that the internet or technology side. I've be fortunate to know many Big Billers (the top 1%, often million dollar billers) and without exception they are HeadHunters who proactively identify, find and help a client company hire the right candidate.…; Added by Bill Vick at 9:15am on May 13, 2013
