Comment on: Blog Post 'INDEED has KILLED privacy!': gerating. Ultimately, who cares about my opinion anyway? (Answer: No one.)Daren says: There are too many opinions out there. I try to form my opinions based on facts, research......oh, and math. You should try it one day. :) (2) Gosh. I hope you didn't go into a lot of effort researching and outlining the word "scrape". You're the one who first introduced the word. By the way, I actually have software in my office that does this. It wasn't cheap. (I would, in my opinion, define 'cheap' as being around 100 bucks for a piece of software. But then again, it's my opinion, so who cares?)Daren says: Hmmm...are you trying to "outwit" me? http://www.outwit.com/See what I did there? (3) It's my opinion that Indeed doesn't really grab public profiles from the internet from such sources as Indeed. It's my opinion so once again, who cares?Daren says: Babe....read that again? Indeed sources from Indeed? Put some effort into proofreading your work or get an editor, OK? :) (4) It's my opinion you have not cleared up where and how Indeed is getting their two million resumes. You wrote a lot. For that, I'm humbled and corrected. But I don't think you know where Indeed gets the two million resumes as a matter of fact. Maybe you've met with representatives of Indeed and they disclosed to you where they get all of their resumes. I have an Indeed representative that's been asking to meet. I've not agreed because I've heard the opinions of other recruiters and office managers.Daren says: Ugh....ok...so you know that Indeed is saying 2 million resumes a month. NOT 2 million US resumes. Big diff. With 100 Million views a month from ACTIVE job seekers, some of them will upload their resume, right? How many? 1% ? 2 % That gets you close to the 2 million. What you need to know is that not every "resume" is a submitted resume. Many are as they have phone numbers while others dont. I am only SURMISING that they are indexing profiles, formatting them so they all look the same, and tying it to an email address that they sourced online and dropping into their database.Another reason why they are probably telling us the truth? CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS. If they lied, they would be liable. As long as ONE month nets 2 million resumes (or close to it) they've covered their butts. ----------- (5) Finally, back to my point of the original blog posting. I'll correlate it with a more popular topic out there right now. It seems noone's all that surprised that the Cyrus girl decided to do a borderline X-rated performance at the MTV awards show the other night. Looks like the big question floating around is "when is enough enough?" This was sort of my dismay when I saw (and I have a screenshot pictured above) how Indeed displays pseudo-resumes of people that are actually applying for jobs IN CONTRAST TO LinkedIn posting a person's work history and background in a much similar way. The visual content is basically equal but, to me, in my OPINION, question the prudence, or ethics, or morality, or (fill in the blank) of Indeed publicly posting this information the way they do. Daren says: This is your opinion. I dont think its a big deal....but if it pisses you off.....have at it. People are on linkedin with resume looking profiles. This was not a happy accident. (I'm going to now guess that Daren REALLY, REALLY wants to take me to the cleaners now.)Daren says: Meh....I'm really a nice guy and mean no malice. Ask my mother. Doesn't matter. No one cares about my opinion.Daren says: Not true. - Steve…; Added by Daren J. Mongello at 1:01pm on August 28, 2013

Comment on: Topic 'Digging Into RecruitingBlogs.com v2.08: The Death of Sourcing': est but a 3rd or 4th in rank in 16 yrs isn't bad! I also see John you never came forward with an answer to my: John, are you saying all the members on LI are Americans with college degrees? I'm not rubbing salt into your wounds; however - misconceptions like yours are/were/ (at the time) are/were common among the population and LI does NOTHING, in my opinion, to correct them. In my opinion it profits them to let people think EVERYONE IS ONLINE. In my opinion they sell their subscriptions to BOTH sides of the equation (what ever happened to the concept "conflict of interest"?) with a wink and a nod instead of a truthful presentation and assessment of the products offered. $200million members? In my opinion, my rear end! (By the way, and once again this is MY opinion, I'd bet dollars to donuts LI is being looked at very closely (past sale practices) just as TheLadders was. Their product webpages change constantly to stay ahead of probing and scrutinizing eyes. They just changed up their Recruiter Pro and Jobseeker Pro pages. The class action guys love big targets like them and need a new one.) Yeah, and what Glen just said.…; Added by Maureen Sharib at 10:38am on March 19, 2013

"This seems like one of the first legit things LinkedIn has done to regain their credibility." Question: To say that LI is taking steps to 'regain credibility', are you suggesting that it was lost at some point? Why? Please explain.
