- 02/albuquerque-firefighters-_n_1396972.html __________________________________________ The Pit gets ready to host NCAA tournaments Posted at: 03/12/2012 9:28 PM March Madness comes to Albuquerque, New Mexico. That's great news and should be a boon to the local economy. GREAT! But what's this? The "PIT" BTW is the University of New Mexico basketball arena. "Crews at The Pit are working around the clock to prepare for the NCAA tournament games coming to Albuquerque this week. Preparations began two months ago. Transformations mandated by the NCAA include removing all traces of the University of New Mexico Lobos for national TV purposes." Rules are rules but this is BS. Where's the logic of blocking out where the games are played? Isn't PR good for everyone? National and International publicity is a good thing. WHATEVER... http://www.kob.com/article/stories/s2534837.shtml?cat=516&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=abq_news Next... Albuquerque burrito bandits arrested over the weekend Posted at: 02/05/2012 11:08 PM By: Shaun Griswold, KOB.com Two men spent their Super Bowl weekend in jail because of a dispute over a stolen burrito. The Albuquerque Police Department said Anthony Sanders and Louis Vasquez reportedly approached a man on Zuni Road in Albuquerque and asked to have a bite of his burrito. The man agreed. The two suspects then grabbed the burrito and walked away. The burrito’s rightful owner walked up to the men and said he wanted his burrito back. That’s when police said Sanders and Vasquez attacked the man. According to the criminal complaint, Sanders pistol-whipped the burrito owner. Sanders and Vasquez are charged with aggravated robbery. http://www.kob.com/article/stories/s2483937.shtml?cat=516&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=abq_news Thinking of you and thought you'd like to know this. Moral of the story: If you share your burrito with a bandit, he's gonna want the whole thing. Next... Woman who took pumpkin found guilty of shoplifting Posted at: 02/21/2012 12:11 PM | Updated at: 02/21/2012 12:14 PM A college student who took a pumpkin from McCall’s Pumpkin Patch in Moriarty was found guilty Tuesday of shoplifting. Lauren Medina will have to serve 40 hours of community service and will have to pay court costs. The judge deferred her sentence – meaning that if she successfully carries out that sentence, her conviction will be wiped from her record. Medina, a 22-year-old college student, told us she grabbed a tiny pumpkin from a display at McCall's Pumpkin Patch in Moriarty after attending the haunted house in October. Medina told us she didn't know the pumpkin was for sale and said she offered to pay for after she found out. The Torrance County Sheriff's Office said it is pursuing the case because a law was broken and if it is not enforced, more people will break them. McCall's Pumpkin Patch owner Kevin McCall told us he felt "violated" by the theft. Stay with KOB Eyewitness News 4 for more on this story. Taking a little pumpkin is not violating anyone. Now, if it was a big, prize-winning pumpkin--that would qualify as theft. Drumming up court costs is a shady way to make a living...even the infamous Judge Roy Bean who was considered the Law West of the Pecos, would look down on such pity interpretation of the law...West of the Pecos. Born 1825 Mason County, Kentucky, USA Died March 16, 1903 (aged 77–78) Langtry, Val Verde County, Texas Other names Law West of the Pecos Occupation Justice of the Peace; Saloonkeeper next.... Gay Santa Fe hair stylist refuses to cut Gov. Martinez' hair Posted at: 02/21/2012 7:20 PM | Updated at: 02/22/2012 3:04 PM By: Stuart Dyson, KOB Eyewitness News 4 Governor Susana Martinez has lost a hair stylist thanks to her position against gay marriage. Antonio Darden, a popular stylist who runs Antonio's Hair Studio in Santa Fe, said he cut Martinez' hair three times, but that's it - unless she changes her mind about gay marriage. "The governor's aides called not too long ago, wanting another appointment to come in," Darden said. "Because of her stances and her views on this I told her aides no. They called the next day, asking if I'd changed my mind about taking the governor in and I said no again." The governor has said she believes marriage should be between a man and a woman, and that does not cut it with Darden. "I think it's just equality, dignity for everyone," the popular hair stylist said. "I think everybody should be allowed the right to be together. My partner and I have been together for 15 years." Darden said gay couples do not have the same rights that married couples have, and he is determined to fight that, even if it means losing an important customer. Ironically, the governor has been taking heat from the religious right and from one prominent big-church fundamentalist preacher in particular, for appointing an openly gay man to a position on the state Public Regulation Commission. …

- Youth & High school Football Coach at www.o-d.com Personal Causes: Breast Cancer fundraising/awareness Office/Cell Number: 978-474-8055 Personal Email: rob@hireimage.net Q&A with Robert Gray Six Degrees: Tell us of your home world. Rob: I married my college girlfriend (university of New Hampshire at Durham) after a 8 year courtship, not sure why she “hung in” there, but I’m glad she did. We have two beautiful kids, Jackson age 13 and Michaela age 10. We do have a family pet, Henry, a lively 6 year old jack Russell terrier. I would highly suggested doing research before buying one, they require a ton of attention, long walks at night and plenty of love…wait, that’s me…Henry is low maintenance, really. He runs the house with an iron paw. People who want to capitalize on Relationship Capital as a popular measure of networking success are the people I want to connect with. Consequently, web 2.0/networking is a passion. I run my Prep School (Bridgton Academy) Alumni networking group and love social networking for business and new connections. I am very active in my community as a youth sports leader and mentor. My real passion is coaching Life, I mean Football. Well, you get it. It’s one in the same. Having played Division 1 college football and now being able to pass along my “hard earned knowledge” to young men is a self-fulfilling prophecy “you get what you give”. My young players are all going to be great teammates, students, citizens, husbands, fathers and above all leaders. I am honored every single day I get to be around such motivated and inspiring young athletes. Having some part in their personal development makes it all so rewarding. 100 % of the kids we coach will play sports for a living! That’s right, 100%.... can someone challenge me that life, in and of itself is not a sport? That in America we reward the focused, driven and committed individuals. What adult that makes a living in this country, doesn’t have to compete in some way or another for either their livelihood, or to keep their job? What youth football coach in America (that’s worth his salt- thanks Vince), isn’t preparing your young men for their future & building a solid foundation for success in any endeavor that life has to offer. Football is a metaphor for life. Anyone that has played this game to the high school level knows this to be true. The top sales rep at the office, the focused & committed surgeon that operates on you, the person that tunes your car engine up and checks your brakes, the person that builds your home, they are all striving to earn your business. This is America, we welcome competition for EVERYTHING! It’s the fabric of our society. What makes you successful is your desire, commitment and dedication to be the best at what you do. Hmmmm, where have I heard that before? Harvard business school’s first rule of business is: If you don’t have a competitive edge, don’t compete! Maybe that’s just something we should wait to tell our kids when they are in….say…. college. Yeah, sounds about right. They’ll be much more mature at that point and better prepared to handle it. Hello! “Yes, Mrs. Jones, we are running sprints at the end of practice and painful as they might be for you to watch, your son will make it”. Football more than any other sport relates to how “working hard tends to make good things happen” and how being part of a team leads to a deep sense of pride and self-respect. Football coaches have a responsibility to help create a foundation in their players that teaches: Hard work will be rewarded! Preparation is key to success and Team comes first.....we were taught these things by our coaches at the exact same age as our players are now. We have an obligation to give back what we got. No? I have no complaints at all, I am coaching my son and his friends and we get so much out of the total experience that I am glowing with pride both as a father and a coach! I am helping in some small way; positively shape the lives of these kids. And, what I get back from this experience makes the 25 plus hours per week I volunteer pale by comparison. My advice to business leaders and former athletes is to “get involved” you can’t put a price on what you get back. Six Degrees: How many years have you been in the staffing industry? Rob: 2009 marks my 12th year in the Executive search industry. Hire Image is the third company I have built and branded. My firm has satisfied clients all over the world and has built outstanding best of breed sales forces for some of the best Hi-tech firms in the world. Six Degrees: How did you get started as a recruiter? Rob: I spent my first 9 years out of college with E & J Gallo Winery. The best sales training program in the US. Consumer goods is a great place to start your career, box seats to all the games, dinner out three nights a week, but that gets real old at 30. I got out to chase the money in hi-tech, period. Living in Boston in the late 90’s and not being in Hi-tech recruiting was a sin. Six Degrees: What single event had the most impact on your sourcing/recruiting career? Great question. I started my Career at a F500 agency, sat next to several million dollar a year billers and was floored by the money they made. I knew I was in the right Industry, same deer different forest thing, just a learning curve to get past. Do you have a mentor to whom you attribute your overall outlook on recruitment, capabilities, and/or model your career after? Rob: Absolutely, one of my oldest friends and former business partner mentored me for my first few years in the industry. “Stay on the phone, good things will happen” is what he told me a dozen times a day. Its so true, you want to reward yourself then pick up the phone and make another call. No victory laps here kid. Six Degrees: Tell us about "Hire Image" Rob: I have run my own firm since 2000. My world is “kill what you eat” period. I have never not run both sides of a desk. I have a partner in Amsterdam that runs EMEA and I run North America. I can and have managed up to 20 clients at once, but that’s about the maximum. I run a strict recruiting life cycle process and never manage the pipeline, just steer it. Six Degrees: (A) What other companies' recruiting operations do you admire or have heard are best-practice examples? Rob: I’ve always admired the retained search groups for the attention to detail and candidate control they have. After the white-hot dot com era, I developed the Hire Image software sales candidate evaluation best practice. Here is the quick version: Enterprise Sales Ability Strong Revenue achievement selling Enterprise applications... We look at the last 5 year W-2 history. Acceptable low end average is $200,000, (We prefer to see $250,000 average) with an average quota of ~$2,000,000. We also would like to see that the candidate has closed 6 or more deals over ~$500,000 and 2 or more deal over $1,000,000 in the last 5 years. If the above criterion is met, then the hard assumptions we must make are: A) This candidate can get in the door (fortune 500- CXO level) for first meeting and set the tone. Additionally, this candidate is a businessperson that can relate to the needs of CXO’s from a strategic view. They understand the business drivers as well as integration issues. Measurable components: W-2 Stream over last 5 years; Large deal history over last 5 years; Ability to articulate solutions sales skills; Demonstrate a consultative sales style; and Demonstrated stability – has stayed with previous employers long enough to generate customer loyalty B) This candidate has proven experience selling enterprise applications where they have taken a business solution and built strategic thrust with value. Then, have the ability to navigate the strategic initiative through a complex sales cycle to closure. Bottom line: This Candidate knows how to explore and develop business issues and objectives, create a mutually shared vision of the solution, match those visions with the capabilities and technology, and keep control of the buy cycle. (Solution Selling 101) Typical enterprise solution sales cycle includes: Identify CXO (sales, marketing and CIO) critical business issues (pain) and who in the organization is impacted. Provide capabilities that map to the CXO resolving these issues. Document sales process and plan the sales cycle for the CXO to agree upon. This lets us know if the CXO is serious about continuing this business relationship and it identifies the next steps in closing the sale. Provide a compelling accurate business case (value proposition, cost justification and confirmed agreed return on investment Vertical Expertise Measurable components: Number of deals sold into desired vertical Previously worked directly in the vertical (hands-on at potential customer target account) This candidate has sold multiple $500,000+ licensed software deals into Major clients within your targeted verticals. (Major defined as +$3B total revenue) Or, the candidate has worked for 5+ years in a hands-on capacity within the target industry. If the above criterion is met, then the hard assumptions we must make are: A) This candidate understands the buying criteria, business drivers, and influencers within this particular Industry. This candidate also comes to the table with a Rolodex of CXO’s that should facilitate first meetings based upon candidate’s business relationships (reputation). B) This candidate has sat on the other side of the table and understands the business issues that the buyer is facing – can relate to those issues from personal experience. Domain Expertise Measurable components: Experience selling for direct competitor or competitive product Experience selling complimentary or other desired application/technology Advanced technical aptitude (previous experience as an S/E or similar experience) This candidate has sold multiple $500,000+ license software deals in your specific domain. If the above criterion is met, then the hard assumptions we must make are: A) This candidate has the ability to sell a business solution (vision). This candidate can quantify a value proposition and translate that into real time return on investment. This candidate has very strong upfront communication of Economic Impact. Pluses: Start up experience- We like candidates that can “evangelize”, that have “missionary mode experience” and have scaled out net new business with few pre-existing customers. Six Degrees: How do you get to the C-level and what do you do once you get there? Rob: Most candidates are good at getting to "ground swell" - functional people. These people will give you the answer to "where is the pain" and plenty of soft assumptions... but they are not the C-level decision makers. (B) Six Degrees: In what aspects are they superior? Rob: This best of breed evaluation practice offers all interviewers a guideline to evaluate candidates against. It serves to keep your hiring manages focused on what’s important. Once you can get a client to agree on evaluation criteria, you have a much better shot at getting your candidates through the “gauntlet” Six Degrees: What recent general news story or industry trend do you feel will have an impact on your work in the future? Why? Rob: Web 2.0 is has changed the game to a large degree, however our services as executive search recruiters will never be replaced. Sourcing elite candidates and selling them on your client’s value as an employer will always require the skilled hand of a seasoned recruiter. “A players” always have employment choices, selling them on making a move requires a consultative relationship that is built over years. Additionally, I see more RPO (recruiting process outsourcing) firms in the market. Six Degrees: Tell us about your broader involvement within the staffing industry: Rob: I am a regular at Mass Hi-tech, ERE and Boston area networking functions. I attend Fordyce annually and participate with LION, Jobmachine.net, Recruitingblogs.com, SourceCon, Cybersleuths, Networked Recruiter and of course the number one recruiting blog “six degree’s from dave” Six Degrees: Can you detail how the recession has affected your particular industry niche? Rob: Enterprise software sales recruiting is slow, period. In the late fall 2008, I thought this was another “Top Grading” market. However, the pain runs deeper and longer. The good news is that top candidates are still being placed and recruiters are still being paid. My suggestion is to find your niche and work it. Sales engineers that have strong technical backgrounds are always in demand. Top enterprise sales athletes are still coveted, no one is open for business without an elite sales force. Find those industries that have organic growth. Greentech, Solar (PV), and Carbon emission management systems are right on the horizon. This world still runs on software, that’s not changing, stick to the basics. Software and platform as a service in Healthcare IT is a good place to start. Six Degrees: Aside from simply the generic term “Networking” what specific efforts have you made on your own behalf, or on behalf of colleagues to broaden your opportunities. Rob: I currently sit on Advisory boards for some of the fastest growing technology companies in Cambridge/Metro Boston, Ma area. The 128-technology belt is my “backyard” and home to hundreds of Software/Venture Capital firms and Business Incubators. I am truly blessed to be recruiting/living in such a fertile technology rich area. In fact, many of my neighbors are Software executives. My advice is to “get smart” on Healthcare IT, specifically voice recognition software. Target the competitive landscape and subscribe to a sales intelligence service. I use Zoominfo ( HYPERLINK "http://www.zoominfo.com" www.zoominfo.com) I think it’s the best product on the market Six Degrees: Given your own Trial and Error experiences as a Networker, what advice do you have for your peers on what NOT to do? Be specific Rob: Networking is a function of making connects, period. The more connects you make on a daily basis the better your OBP (on base percentage). However, don’t be fooled in thinking you don’t need to pick up the phone. Nothing will replace talking to your clients/candidates. Don’t try to be the expert on all verticals and domains. Pick several that you have an affinity for and become a subject matter expert. Six Degrees: What is your next career goal? What do you need to do to get there? Rob: My next career goal is to transition my business into a pure retained search model. This is easier said than done, work in progress. Stay tuned world.…

- Topic: Meet Geoff Webb, Hewitt Associates Sourcer & Toronto Community Activist
- fferin Grove Park and volunteer within the parks and communities movements in Toronto. • Office/Cell Number (O) 416-530-4271 (C) 647-226-9322 • Email Geoff Webb has over 10 years of experience with Recruitment and Resource Management with some of the top consulting companies in Canada and the United States --- "Geoff is Canada's Most Connected Recruiter". In addition to his sourcing expertise, Geoff specialties include: Recruitment, Resource Management, Training and Coaching, Career Transition, Health Services and Privacy. Q&A with Geoff Webb Six Degrees: Tell us of your home world. Geoff: I live in Toronto with Michelle (we’ve been together now for over a decade), we have two daughters Inanna is six years old and Dara is two years old, we currently take care of three cats, a cockatoo (named Cookie) and a dog, wow, we really have too many pets. Not only am I a Master Sourcer, but I’ve been involved in Canadian politics for over 20 years, in that time I have worked for two Prime Ministers, one Premiere and a number of Members of Parliament. As well, I was once held by the Secret Service at the White House (it wasn’t my fault I swear). I was there on a school trip, a friend threatened to burn down the building, I got taken in for standing beside him (such an idiot). I am currently very involved with the Parks and Communities movement in Toronto, where we try to focus communities around urban park spaces. If you want to see a great model for an urban park check out www.dufferinpark.ca - we rock. When we’re not volunteering I like to spend time with my two little girls, we hang out a lot with friends in the parks, but also like to go rock climbing, we are all avid rock climbers (so if you know of any good rock, I’ll climb it). Currently my eldest daughter and myself are trying to figure out if it’s possible to build a zipline in our backyard Six Degrees: How many years have you been in the staffing industry? Geoff: started out in recruiting at Parachute Community employment centre in 1989, so I have been in the staffing industry for wow, for 20 years now. Six Degrees: How did you get started as a recruiter? Geoff: Funny story actually. I didn’t want to be a recruiter. At first I went to theatre school and aspired to a career as a Stage Manager. I’ve always had an artistic side of me, however, after about three years of Theatre School I decided that I really couldn’t stand actors and that might get in the way of a career. So I went to work for my friend Tim McVegh who ran a community employment centre (Parachute, named after “What Color is your Parachute”). My job there was to assist underemployed youth in the Regent Park area of Toronto to get on-the-job skills training through a Government of Ontario program called Futures. That got me hooked so I worked my way through school and got my certification in Human Resource Management. When I did the course I thought that I wanted to be in Training and Development, but during my coop I ended up working for Canadian Tire as a Staffing Assistant. Now this is where it got really interesting, growing up my father was a professor of cognitive science at UofT and so we had a lot of computers around the house. I got the job at Canadian Tire because they were implementing a new ATS called Restrack Hire (which eventually became Taleo) and I understood both the HR world and the technology world, and Canadian Tire was the first company in Canada to implement the system. My role was to work as a Jr. BA on the implementation. Through that process I became very interested in Recruiting and started to assist on some of the Campus recruitment initiatives. And that’s how I got started in Recruiting. Since then I have mainly focused on Technology hiring because I have a love of Talent Acquisition and Technology. After Canadian Tire I worked briefly for a year with a Technology agency called Ian Martin IT, until the VP and a good buddy Craig told me that he didn’t “want to hold me back from something better” (no Craig Silverman it wasn’t you but I love that line). I then spent the next few years working for Computer Task Group on the IBM account as an RPO recruiter, this gave me the opportunity to manage recruiters as well as move my young family to Vancouver for a year…since then Vancouver has been our second home. It also gave me the opportunity to meet some really great American recruiters and learn the phrase “that dog won’t hunt”. After deciding to return to Toronto I worked for Xwave, Cognicase and then CGI (where I briefly delved into the world of Resource Management). After leaving CGI in 2002 I started to really become interested in the Candidate Generation or Sourcing side of the business. So I started my own company and with the help of my friends at Head2Head worked for companies such as T4G, Microsoft and Tucows (thanks guys). I then did a pure sourcing gig at Intuit for two years where I had the great pleasure of working with some of the best sourcers in North America under Traci Wicks (who btw rocks). I also got to attend the first Sourcecon and really started to delve into my community of peers. I am currently working with Hewitt Associates on the Central Sourcing team, again, I am very lucky to work with such a dedicated and smart bunch of folks under the inspired leadership of Chris Gould and Cynthia Wehrenberg. Six Degrees: What single event had the most impact on your sourcing/recruiting career? Geoff: I can remember the day when the sourcing world really opened up for me, during my stint at Microsoft Canada I sourced and recruited for the Enterprise Services team. Let me say that it was a challenging assignment, as you had to find people that not only excelled technically but also were prepared to go on the road 80% of the time. We were using all the usual channels at the time, however, one day I was having lunch with a couple of the folks who were Technical Evangelists, and they were talking about the Microsoft Developer contests that were going on. It sounded both interesting and a lot of fun, so I inquired further about, well, what the heck they were. At the end of the conversation I was dumbfounded to find out that we already knew most of the best talent out there through the contests, but no one had thought to connect the contests to Talent Acquisition, and that’s when it struck me, everything can be about recruiting. You just need the proper recruiting ecosystem in your company. That’s when sourcing became really interesting for me, the more creative the approach the more exciting I get about it…and over the years I’ve done some crazy things, set up hotdog stands across the road from competitors, rode the elevators looking for contacts, crashed conferences to meet with developers. But I’d have to say that was a defining moment for me. Do you have a mentor to whom you attribute your overall outlook on recruitment, capabilities, and/or model your career after? Geoff: you know I can’t say that I have any one mentor, however I have to give props to some folks for really opening my eyes to the sourcing world and community based recruiting. A big prop has to go out to my friend and mentor Traci Wicks at Intuit, Traci really taught me two valuable lessons 1.) that online communities are great but always need to be supported by direct human connection and 2.) your sourcing strategy no matter how complex should always answer the question “how am I going to move this person from a prospect to a hire”. I will forever carry those lessons with me. As well, Leslie O’Connor gave me the opportunity to connect with so many people that share a common passion for sourcing through the Sourcecon venue. I owe many of my relationships with my fellow sourcers to Leslie. Speaking of community builders I would be remiss in not giving a shout out to my fellow Torontonian Jason Davis, Recruitingblogs has been a great place not only to connect to the recruiting world but also to see how vibrant online communities can be created and maintained. Also huge shout out to all those sourcers and recruiters that I connect with regularly to share ideas…unfortunately to numerous to all name here. Six Degrees: Tell us about your position at Hewitt: Geoff: Currently I am a Sourcer on the Central Sourcing team at Hewitt Associates, I work on a team of seven sourcers under the direction of Cynthia Wehrenberg, besides my everyday sourcing duties of finding the best and brightest of the HRO world I also work on researching and evaluating new sourcing tools and technologies and then showcasing those technologies to the team. Further I am involved with the team building out the Hewitt social media strategy (with my good friend the brilliant Michael Marlatt), an opportunity that I am very excited about. I am extremely proud to be working on a sourcing team that has come so far so fast, in six months we’ve really become a force to be reckoned with in the Sourcing world, I would put us up against any sourcing team out there today, yeah, I mean you - bring it. Six Degrees: (A) What other companies' recruiting operations do you admire or have heard are best-practice examples? Geoff: Wow, so many, however, if I had to pick the top three I have always admired the work that Marvin Smith has been doing over at Microsoft, building Talent Communities that are true self sustaining and self propagating. I also really enjoy the work being done by Chris Hoyt and Amybeth Hale over at AT&T around the integration of their social recruiting elements, and last but not least I am a huge Josh Khan fan, he’s both a cool and very smart guy and understands that not every tool is made for every job. (B) In what aspects are they superior? Geoff: you know in all these cases including Hewitt, I am highlighting companies that are daring to be different, to push the boundaries of traditional Talent Acquisition, to really delve into social recruiting, daring to make mistakes and learn from them. I have a lot of respect for any company that puts themselves out there and is prepared to make some big OOPS. Another very important lesson that I learned at Intuit was if you aren’t making mistakes then you’re probably not innovating. In all my favorite companies I see a lot of innovation in our space. Six Degrees: What recent general news story or industry trend do you feel will have an impact on your work in the future? Why? Geoff: Hmmm, let ‘s see, Job Boards, yeah, they’re going to replace Third Party Recruiters…wait, wrong decade. No, seriously for me it’s got to be two things, 1.) the emergence of social media, and when I say that I don’t just mean Facebook, Linkined, Twitter, I am thinking beyond that with Diigo and Del.i.cious and other social bookmarking sites like Stumbleupon, I am talking about blogs, widgets, anything that can tell me more about you as a person other than your resume and can allow me to connect with you as a person more fully and 2.) (this is me Faith Popcorning a bit here), the fact that the future of Sourcing will be less about resumes and more about the content, I as a Sourcer I will be more interested in what you demonstrably know than what you have written on your resume. Six Degrees: Tell us about your broader involvement within the staffing industry: Geoff: Granted I haven’t been a huge conference attendee (probably that long trek across the border), however, I have religiously attended both Sourcecon conferences and have attended Recruitfest and RNG here in Toronto. I look forward to the day when Canada can say that we are in the Talent Acquisition conference game, I hope that day will come soon. Six Degrees: Can you detail how the recession has affected your particular industry niche? Geoff: I have been very lucky not to be a member of the unemployed up to this point during the recession. However, I know many of my fellow recruiters and sourcers that were downsized during the recession. To try to combat some of the effects of the recession in Toronto we started a monthly meetup of recruiters, hoping that the direct connections that we make will entice folks to help each other seek clients, new gigs, contracts, whatever they need. Six Degrees: Aside from simply the generic term “Networking” what specific efforts have you made on your own behalf, or on behalf of colleagues to broaden your opportunities. Geoff: Well, let’s see, the last time I was looking for work I started a Facebook group and called it “Help Geoff Webb Find a Job” and invited all my “friends” to the group, I would then keep them updated about my job search status, I also run a number of social networks for Canadian Recruiters and have invited my Linkedin friends to a Ning group called “Friends of Geoff Webb Worldwide”. I help to run the Sourcecon Ning site and I am a regular contributor to Recruitingblogs.com. I also have one of the largest Facebook networks of recruiters on Facebook - all these media allow me to stay in touch with my community and share information with them. As I stated above I am also the organizer of the Toronto Recruiter Meetup and I am often called upon by community groups in Toronto to set up their online social media. I would start my own radio show, but Animal has that covered. Six Degrees: Given your own Trial and Error experiences as a Networker, what advice do you have for your peers on what NOT to do? Geoff: Don’t ignore people, and be your authentic self. The best way to tick people off is ask them for something and then ignore them when they come calling to you. I try my best to answer every wall post, every Linkedin inquiry, every Tweet that I get, otherwise, I’m just another avatar out there. As well, do “pay it forward”, helping someone today can often become an opportunity of tomorrow. Six Degrees: What is your next career goal? What do you need to do to get there? Geoff: I’m torn there…on one hand I would like to be the Talent Community Manager, and work within social media to grow and enrich Talent Hubs or Communities by providing interesting and rich content but also introducing an element of the human touch, I don’t have it all figured out yet, but I’m learning. I could also see myself as the Product Manager for the next killer recruitment app out there, again, not there yet, but I’m learning.

Are there ways to show value as you grow community? 3:12pm Susan Burns Is there value contributed by the community that informs the brand and is that seen as value? 3:12pm Jody Simon it's something that I struggle with everyday 3:13pm Susan Burns Jody - what type of company/industry? 3:13pm Jody Simon I need to put aside time to build a network and to concentrate on branding and alternative recruiting methods while still filling open slots tha good old fashioned way 3:14pm Susan Burns So, its also about personal bandwidth? 3:14pm Jody Simon Raytheon Solipsys - mostly hard-to-find engineers 3:14pm Jody Simon definetely about bandwidth 3:15pm MN Headhunter I get that question all the time. I started slow. 5% of my time. It got to about 40% then I saw what I think was diminshed returns 3:15pm Susan Burns This is sort of the ultimate recruiting challenge - reallocating resources so that in time the investment returns more and you produce greater results and also have the time to further build the community 3:15pm MN Headhunter Now about 30% dedicated to social media stuff, recruiting, blog, here 3:15pm Susan Burns It can certainly become a time suck - is that what your implying Paul? 3:16pm Slouch i don;t know any recruiters who make more placements through blogs than they do good old fashion recruiting phone calls. 3:16pm MN Headhunter I think it needs to be balanced. In the beginning the return is lower. Takes time for search engine love 3:16pm Jody Simon most of my blogging, social media stuff, etc is done on my own time out of the office. it's the only way I can get it done 3:17pm Slouch But over time, the branding bit of it becomes something I think that phone calls can;t accomplish 3:17pm Susan Kang Nam Hello Susan.. hello everyone.. sorry I'm little late to join the discussion... 3:17pm Susan Burns Hi Susan - glad you could join us! 3:17pm Slouch and from that referrals come and that is the basis of any successful recruiter 3:17pm MN Headhunter Jason, I agree but I would say about 40% of my business comes from the blog by way of candidates or clients 3:17pm Andrew Demske good old fashion recruiting works best for now. i do think this will change though. i have made a few placements from Blogs and LinkedIn 3:17pm Susan Burns Jody - is there an "open to listen" from the company so they would see an investment period of at least 6 months? 3:17pm MN Headhunter but I have a very focused location and only in IT 3:18pm Jody Simon actually Susan, corporate recruiting is a time suck period! I quote you on that? 3:18pm MN Headhunter or as anonymous? 3:18pm Susan Burns Jody - what about it is the biggest time suck? 3:19pm Jody Simon they are open to most of what I suggest....so long as my #'s are in good shape 3:19pm Jody Simon and yes, you can quote me on that! Jody Simon the paperwork, the charts, plans, reports, etc, etc, etc....I fell like I never get to recruit anymore! 3:20pm Jody Simon gosh, I miss my agency life.....sorry to get you off track... 3:21pm Jerry Albright Talking about % of business doesn't quite put ROI into the correct perspective though, does it? If your overal #s don't increase? 3:21pm Susan Kang Nam having some technical problems.. but thanks Susan.. just reading through the discussion so far... 3:21pm Susan Burns Jody - a lot ofadministrative things that don't add value to where you really contribute? 3:22pm Susan Burns Jerry - can you say more about that? 3:22pm Jody Simon absolutely! Jerry Albright Or if your total production goes down? If you now hit 50% of your numbers from Social Networking, but are down in overall production? 3:22pm Susan Burns Jerry - sure - there needs to an overall benefit and improvement in results. How that is measured depends on the company - yes? 3:23pm Jerry Albright Anyone could achieve a percentage growth in any category. The real goes should be to increase your total #s, right? 3:23pm Susan Burns Has anyone seen or tested the idea of a "community manager" or strategic sourcer that is responsible for the online brand image 3:24pm Susan Kang Nam I am currently exploring both corporate vs. agency using web 2.0.. however curious to hear more about what works and what doesn't... 3:24pm MN Headhunter I ahve not seen a community manager in the career space 3:24pm Susan Burns What if you could reallocate $$ away from job boards and hire someone part-time just to support community efforts - how could that change the game? 3:25pm Susan Kang Nam We are currently testing that at the moment... with our online brand image... still in dsicussion..and exploration MN Headhunter Jerry, I agree. But there hard to measure benefits like speaking before a CIO group, quoted in the business section, and speaking to user groups that I did not do prior to this trek of mine 3:26pm MN Headhunter before I was a really good recruiter. now I am a really good recruiter with a brand, name, reputatin 3:26pm Susan Burns I introduced it at my last company and we saw an improvement that returend big $$ in savings through reduced time to hire 3:26pm Susan Burns So Paul - there's a shift in measuring value? 3:27pm MN Headhunter To some extent. I cannot measure right away the value of speaking before the CIO group. May not be able to know the true value ever 3:27pm Jerry Albright Right on Paul. We all track activity "forward" but very few track it "backward" to it's initial ingredients...... MN Headhunter Went to a tech event with 440+ attendees. local event... 3:29pm Rayanne that's a good ratio 3:29pm MN Headhunter Wore a blur short to the event...had people introducing themselves to me and that they read mys tufff 3:29pm MN Headhunter someone pointed out in my Twitter pic I am wearing a blue shirt 3:29pm MN Headhunter so everyone on Twitter in the local tech community recognized me 3:30pm Rayanne you have branded yourself 3:30pm MN Headhunter That was at least 25 people 3:30pm Susan Burns Hi Rayanne! 3:30pm Slouch if you look at WirelessJobs.com it's easy to see how that could become an incredible engine for making placements. 3:30pm Rayanne does that mean you can only wear blue now? 3:30pm Slouch built on Ning. target talent community with a recruiter running it 3:30pm Rayanne Hi Susan.. 3:30pm MN Headhunter I have branded myself by accident, the original intent of the blog was therapy, to work things out of my head and create free space 3:30pm Slouch Hey Rayanne 3:30pm Rayanne I udnerstand that kind of therapy 3:31pm Rayanne hey Jason' 3:31pm MN Headhunter I am going to white shirts now 3:31pm Susan Burns But also building an online brand can help move things along ore quickly because people have already identified with you 3:31pm MN Headhunter trying to grow the brand 3:31pm Andrew Demske lol 3:31pm Slouch that's the idea 3:31pm Jerry Albright Slouch - need a "pause" button on thing...... 3:31pm Rayanne more professsional? that IBM look? 3:31pm MN Headhunter but no tie. I am allergic 3:31pm Susan Burns Pauls taking on a MAJOR rebranding campaign! 3:31pm Rayanne wow... 3:32pm Claudia Faust Hi all 3:32pm MN Headhunter Susan, to your previous point, yes, doing the online stuff has moved me forward at a much quicker pace than pre blog in 2005 3:32pm MN Headhunter ties, not literally 3:32pm Susan Burns Hi Claudia 3:32pm Rayanne rebranding can be good - expanding your base even more 3:33pm MN Headhunter the thing is anyone can do it. That is my beliefe anyway. It just takes some time 3:33pm Rayanne Hi Claudia!!! 3:33pm Claudia Faust Hey there Rayanne! Susan Burns Paul - how long did it take before you started to see a measurable ROI? 3:33pm MN Headhunter 6 months from the blog 3:34pm Susan Kang Nam Hello Rayanne... hello Claudia.. 3:34pm MN Headhunter 10 days from Twitter 3:34pm MN Headhunter 2 months on MySpace 3:34pm Rayanne hey Susan KN... 3:34pm Susan Burns Paul - that's GREAT! 3:34pm Claudia Faust Paul, how do you measure the ROI? (hi there, Susan!) 3:34pm MN Headhunter 25 minutes on LinkedIn 3:34pm Susan Kang Nam I just joined Twitter today.. kind of curious.. how that works.. really.. 3:34pm Rayanne that is a quick ROI 3:34pm Slouch Paul, are you talking about making placements? 3:35pm MN Headhunter Jason, yes 3:35pm Susan Kang Nam that is quick.. 3:35pm Susan Burns Hi Claudia! Jerry Albright Isn't that a bit "old school" Slouch? 3:35pm MN Headhunter The blog was easy to measure because in the beginning I still had a business site 3:35pm Rayanne Isn 3:35pm Susan Burns Paul -that's also consistent w/ the time frame I experienced in-house for corp restructuring and restrategizing 3:36pm Rayanne Isn't what "old School"? 3:36pm Slouch Claudia, I still have the coupon you sent me 3:36pm Claudia Faust ROFL 3:36pm Claudia Faust frame it 3:36pm MN Headhunter everything now goes back to the blog so there is a base from which to work Susan Kang Nam interesting... 3:37pm MN Headhunter not interested in the job I am pitching? Want career information? go to the blog 3:37pm Claudia Faust Paul, I'm really curious to know how you measure ROI though. Is it number of contacts? revenues generated from those contacts? 3:37pm Slouch Jerry, is what old school 3:37pm MN Headhunter want information on the next local tech event? go to the blog 3:37pm MN Headhunter RSS feed if you like 3:37pm MN Headhunter sign up for the newsletter 3:37pm Claudia Faust ahh, got it. usan Burns in addition to placements do you also measure future placements - for instance those that are interested, qualified but just not the right time yet? 3:38pm MN Headhunter the thing is giving options, making accessible, rsponding promptly 3:38pm Claudia Faust and the end result to you is broader brand awareness? 3:38pm Jerry Albright Placements as a way of looking at ROI 3:38pm Jerry Albright Sometimes I'm a bit of a smart-ass..... 3:38pm Slouch I don;t know? 3:39pm Susan Burns Jerry - what would you want to measure? 3:39pm Slouch yes I know Claudia Faust this is an interesting topic -- Ami and I have been talking a lot about the ROI from social networking in a similar context 3:39pm MN Headhunter Jerry, I do agree with you. But prior to the blog I was a really small fish in the pond with no reputation 3:39pm MN Headhunter now people call me to do a search, looking for a job 3:40pm Jerry Albright Paul - I respect what you've done and your willingness to share! 3:40pm MN Headhunter I look at this way, I am spedning less time explaining who I am, wat I do, how I do it. Less time educating and more time building relationships 3:40pm Claudia Faust so the ROI does indeed lead back to your bottom line. 3:41pm Susan Burns Paul - what you've been doing is building personal equity and that is the ultimate goal in buidling a community 3:41pm Jerry Albright What I meant by the "old school" comment. Most social networking talk is about reaching out, building pipeline, etc. 3:41pm Slouch I think a core belief for any recruiter has to be wefind people for Jobs, we don"t help people find jobs 3:41pm MN Headhunter agreed 3:42pm Jerry Albright You rarely see mention of actually sending an invoice to anyone though that is our bottom line goal. 3:42pm Slouch don;t shoot me for that 3:42pm Maren Hogan Sorry SO late! I;d like to know how you deal with jason when people come to you for jobs?? 3:42pm Rayanne true 3:42pm Maren Hogan deal with THAT 3:42pm Rayanne true 3:42pm Susan Burns Hi Maren! 3:42pm Sateesh Yalamanchili I am new to this blog 3:42pm Susan Kang Nam hello... 3:43pm Maren Hogan Hi! Sorry so late! ACK! 3:43pm Susan Kang Nam hi Maren 3:43pm Jerry Albright Send them to the Employment Agency down the road..... 3:43pm Rayanne Hi Sateesh 3:43pm Susan Burns Maren - do u mean when a Seeker contact you about finding a job? 3:43pm Slouch they don;t come any more. I have not recruited for years but when they did, I would just say I don;t have any positions for what you are doing which was almost always the case 3:43pm Maren Hogan Okay so is that part of building community then? 3:43pm usan Burns Maren - do u mean when a Seeker contacts you looking for a job? 3:43pm Rayanne I think every contact has future potetntial even if they come to me... 3:43pm Rayanne You never know what position they will be holding or where they will end up next month. 3:44pm MN Headhunter I agree but I always try and give one idea, one referral out of courtesy. Part karma, part I do not know who they know that might one day come back to me 3:44pm Slouch Nope Maren Hogan yes 3:45pm Rayanne Maren has a point... that is not part of building a community 3:45pm Susan Burns chat tool is getting sluggish 3:45pm MN Headhunter sluggish = good 3:46pm Rayanne It boils down to respect and giving back 3:46pm Slouch its not how you build community but it's how you hit the numbers and make the placements most managers want to see 3:46pm Slouch just a recruiting observation. 3:46pm Susan Burns agree w/ rayanne - if u think about community how could this person also help you so its more a matter of deciding how much time to invest communicating with the person 3:46pm MN Headhunter and that is why I have been on my own this whole time 3:47pm Maren Hogan yep, you are all sayign what I am trying to say Rayanne I knew what you meant by your question, Maren. 3:47pm Susan Burns these same principles can work inhouse for corp recruiters. its a matter of building a compelling case and finding key partners/champions 3:47pm Maren Hogan In a small town like Omaha you can't just be all "sorry yo, can't help ya". It;s akin to saying you don;t know any of the big dogs plus it outs people off 3:47pm Rayanne definitely works for in-house 3:48pm Maren Hogan so I think part of building comm for me would be to build a relationship with an agency that would actually help these people 3:48pm MN Headhunter same here in Mpls. A big really big small town 3:48pm Maren Hogan thx rayanne! 3:48pm Susan Burns maren - you also don't know how connected that person might be - say they live in NYC and write a blog - all becomes part of reputation management and recognizing we are all one 3:48pm MN Headhunter I finally started doing agreements with non IT firms 3:48pm Rayanne I always think about who that person might know or where they might be 3:49pm Susan Burns Jodi - are you still here? 3:49pm MN Headhunter Susan, look at that. tied it all together after me going on a tangent for 48 minutes 3:49pm Jody Simon yes i am 3:49pm Maren Hogan that's true 3:49pm Rayanne tangents are good 3:49pm Susan Burns Paul - you're the Lewis Black of the recruiting world ;-) 3:49pm Rayanne rants are good.. \ Rayanne it starts conversations and points being made 3:50pm Susan Burns Jody - wondering what would help make the case for you internally? Where does the company see value? 3:50pm Maren Hogan HAHA--susan spot on! 3:50pm Susan Kang Nam great question.. 3:50pm Slouch Jody, what kind of engineers are you recruiting 3:50pm Jody Simon in its engineers only....we are run by our engineers 3:50pm MN Headhunter (sound of Paul going into convulsions) 3:51pm Slouch circuit design engineers? 3:51pm Jody Simon heavy duty systems engineers with DOD and C2 experience 3:51pm Susan Burns what do engineers value? is there a cost to not having enough engineers on the job andif so how much - can it be monetized 3:51pm Slouch how much do you py to agencies every year? 3:51pm Slouch pay 3:51pm Jody Simon if i can get engineering on my side then i win the argument hands down 3:52pm Rayanne SB, when I worked in-house I kept every résumé I received and made placements months later when new reqs came up... Jody Simon I don't use any agencies at all... 3:52pm Slouch what about the company you work for 3:52pm MN Headhunter Rayanne is my hero of the day 3:52pm Slouch if you dont mind me asking 3:52pm Susan Burns Rayanne - same here - we would mine our own database before paying to post a job - novel concept huh! and made hires that had applied a year ago or more 3:52pm Rayanne yep 3:53pm Jody Simon I am very close to having the engineers on my side. they want to use agancies and I want the recruiting function to grow internally 3:53pm Susan Kang Nam that's great Rayanne... 3:53pm Jody Simon my company doesn't use any agencies 3:53pm Susan Burns Rayanne - it was also about how we managed communication w/ them initially - big push on pesonal communication 3:53pm Rayanne true.. 3:53pm MN Headhunter Jody, how many of you are there? job to fill? Susan Burns Jody - maybe thats the open door - take the $$ they would invest in agency and see if they'll give u 6 months to show an ROI from community/social 3:54pm Maren Hogan Do you think that extra hire (resume hoarding whatev) is MORE useful in our current economy? 3:54pm Rayanne I spoke to every person that sent a résumé and made sure they knew me and the company they had applied to 3:54pm MN Headhunter Susan beat me to the punchline 3:54pm Jody Simon communication is the key with my company as well....the problem is that recruiting reports to HR and my boss puts up a fight 3:54pm Susan Burns Maren - extra hire and resume hoarding sound difft to me. extra hires always make sense if its the right extra hire ;-) 3:55pm Susan Burns So its HR that is the obstacle? Jody Simon I'm working on getting a champion for my cause and getting very close 3:55pm Jody Simon yes, HR is the obstacle 3:55pm Rayanne sometimes... and sometimes it's the hiring manager that wants to make that hire NOW 3:55pm Susan Burns Jody - that could take us another hour at least ;-) but to all of u who know how I feel about that obstacle - i rest my case for now! Maren Hogan aorry trying to come up with punchy title on the fly then had to get my hotdog--I meant whatever the name for Ray and Paul's and your database. . . 3:57pm MN Headhunter that if they have a relationship built, when the job order opens, they can hire rightaway 3:57pm Jody Simon Thanks Susan....always up for ideas...and helping others with my own ideas as well 3:58pm Susan Burns hey everyone - any thoughts or requests for next weeks topics? Maren Hogan critical foundational tools for the recruiting function 3:59pm MN Headhunter Susan = my new therapist 3:59pm MN Headhunter Maren, huh? 3:59pm Slouch im always open to a discussion about making this site better for everyone 3:59pm Maren Hogan so much theory thrown around and then to put into practice in the real world 3:59pm Susan Burns Ok Paul but I don't take insurance ;-) 3:59pm Maren Hogan what do we really need? 3:59pm Susan Kang Nam lol 3:59pm Maren Hogan Paul, I know I'm wordy, you'll learn to cope 3:59pm MN Headhunter will do some online wine shopping then 3:59pm Slouch with an accent 3:59pm Maren Hogan ha! 4:00pm Rayanne hmmm Rayanne I LOVE the live-ness 4:01pm Susan Burns a community? 4:01pm Slouch yah 4:01pm Maren Hogan I hate it. I usually have something in my teeth 4:02pm Rayanne that is a great idea 4:02pm Susan Kang Nam hmmm... 4:02pm MN Headhunter (sound of wheels turning) 4:02pm Rayanne no screeching 4:02pm Susan Burns that would be cool. could also then put togehter a few key steps to marketing it? managing it? 4:02pm Rayanne I like it... 4:02pm MN Headhunter by chance do you have an extra domain name? 4:02pm Susan Burns isn't that a great sound paul - it goes really good with wine ;-)! 4:02pm Slouch I can check. 4:02pm MN Headhunter or 100? 4:02pm Susan Burns i just established talenttalkcafe.com today - thanks to ami's reco 4:03pm Susan Burns u can use that if you'd like 4:03pm Maren Hogan so exciting! Really, i love IDEAS! 4:03pm Slouch I think we could easily build a site. the building is easy. its the maintaining but that is something else completely 4:04pm Rayanne this is great. 4:04pm Rayanne I am sure... 4:04pm Slouch same bat time, same bat channel 4:04pm Slouch susan, if you want, we can talk details in Portland 4:04pm Jody Simon thanks for sharing! 4:04pm…
