Topic: LinkedIn Applications: Location of 3rd Party Content. Your Profile has changed: annoying that they've completely revamped my profile, deleted my feeds etc. Because I am a recruiter I will go in and change re-create my profile to reflect my "online footprint" but I am not sure that the masses will. My gut tells me that LinkedIn will see the true number "daily activity" and "active profiles" and that may disappoint them. From the LinkedIn Blog: Posted 12/10/2012 LinkedIn Applications are being replaced with a new feature that lets you add media links to images, presentations, videos, and documents on your profile.

Comment on: Topic 'THE STICKY STUFF !!': th one of the department heads at my invitation they have to buy lunch with a company credit card if they have any social interaction with any vendor. One year i had been to lunch with so many of them so many times that i decided to send hams for Christmas to all the department heads. Oh my God. I didn't send one to HR because i didn't work with HR. When the HR manager saw the hams being delivered she had a cat fit. I had sent one to the president of the company with a note that said , "Merry Christmas and Thank you for your business and all the lunches. HR went nutso, sent memos to everyone that they could not accept gifts from any vendor. One of the VP's sent me a thank you and let me know that they could not accept gifts. I suggested that they give them to their church or any of their associates who might be having a difficult time. The Pres went to HR to see what the big flap was all about and discovered a big basket of cookies from the temp firm they use sitting on the HR Managers desk. When he asked what the difference was between cookies and ham the HR manager told him the cookies were for everybody. Mr Pres thought it was kind of ironically funny so he told HR that he was giving his to the VP of Finance since he had several kids , the VP of Finance said he was giving his to the VP of IS because he had all his inlaws for the holidays and on and on it went. They all gave theirs away and everybody got one. I have not however sent any more Christmas hams. But this is not about the little thank you gifts or the bottle of wine or flowers on a birthday. This is the crooked stuff where a lot of money changes hands behind the scenes and nothing prevents it if you have two willing players. A lot of recruiters have been "enticed" by internal hiring managers who want a piece of the action. It starts out with a joking remark about "Wow, i have made you a lot of money this month, you owe me a steak and drinks or a bottle of scotch, ha, ha, ha." An oportunistic recruiter gets the picture and the boys go out for drinks a few times. And it builds from there until somebody like our anonymous person here finds out about it. That is when it gets really sticky. If this happens to you just laugh and say "Wow, i really do appreciate your vote of confidence in my ability, i will drop your boss a note letting him know what a great job you are doing interviewing and selling my candidates on the company". "Even the ones you don't hire come away very complimentary of you and the company." For our internal person here it might be the best course of action to leave an anonymous letter on the boss's desk since one never really knows who all the players are in a scam and a higher up exec. might be copied so it will roll down hill. Before everybody starts thinking that any recruiter who makes a lot of placements with one company or one hiring manager is paying off somebody. There are a lot of situations where a hiring manager has a long standing relationship with a TPR who knows what he wants and can find it time after time. Be sure you are sure about "fraudboy" before making any overt suggestions because that can really get big time icky sticky.…; Added by Sandra McCartt at 10:42pm on September 20, 2011
