Microsoft Shows Its Hand

Microsoft Shows Its Hand

by Steve Baldwin , Monday, June 2, 2008

IT'S BEEN CALLED A STUNT, a desperate move, and "little more than a gimmick." It's been derided as a failed idea already tried by Amazon's A9, iWon, and other rebate-hawking sites that never gained traction. It is, of course, Microsoft's Live Search Cash Back, the first of what promises to be a series of "disruptive" initiatives designed to derail Google's overwhelming, yet ever-growing dominance in search (now… Continue

Microsoft Wins Default Search Space On HP Computers

Search Engine Land

While the blogosphere focused on Microsoft's cashback deal, the software giant was plugging away at another, behind-the-scenes deal that would secure it even more search market share. It's a deal with HP for Live Search to be packaged as the default engine with all new computers--and Microsoft wrestled the agreement away from Yahoo.

Starting January 2009, new HP… Continue

The Future of Search

The Future of Search

You may have just become accustomed to the idea of Search 3.0, but get prepped for search's latest evolution -- and it's more socially powered and human influenced than ever before.

Danny Sullivan recaps the growth of algorithmic search from strictly on-page factors (Search 1.0), to off-page factors like links (Search 2.0), to blended or Universal Search (Search 3.0) and arrives at this new age of Mahalos, Eureksters, Twitters and personalized… Continue

Deal or No Deal: Getting Top Talent to Accept Your Offer

By Roy Notowitz, Managing Director, Notogroup

The TV show "Deal or No Deal" is a game of chance, but ensuring that your finalist candidates accept your offer does not have to have the same odds. Achieving a stellar track record of “offer acceptance” requires market knowledge, proactive communication, and attention to detail.

Here are some tips for getting to yes:

1. Do not assume strong interest

I have heard numerous stories of companies delaying a hiring…

Interesting Insight - "CRM Gets Social" (Economist Intelligence Unit)

How well do you know your CandidateCustomer Segments? (Yes, the word CandidateCustomer is together to illustrate a point.)

A survey conducted recently by The Economist Intelligence Unit aims to shed some light on the disconnect between companies' desire to be more customer-centric and where the focus of new CRM initiatives should be. The report recommends… Continue

Job Boards Are Restaurants, Databases Are Home Cooking

The advent of the electronic resume was supposed to create a hiring utopia for corporate America. Job-seekers could send their resumes into corporations who could slide, dice, filter, and parse this data into actionable intelligence.

What happened? A glut of data overwhelmed the ability of recruiters to work efficiently, and the rapid change of data (from contact numbers to jobs to cities) made it difficult to say that information sent to a… Continue

Who cares?

I read an article by Debra Walker at NetTemp's Crossroads Newsletter titled the "Ten Things a Recruiter will never tell you". Naturally I was curious, since I consider myself a fairly open book and am not afraid to discuss much of anything with a candidate. I still can't figure out how to paste a link into this blog, so my apologies for you having to cut and paste this into a browser: http://www.net-temps.com/adcgi/banner.cgi?ref=crnews&ch=2885&id=crs_2885.

The Last Recruiter Standing

The title of today’s post is a reference to the Reality TV Show “The Last Comic Standing”. As a professional talent scout, I am enthralled with any reality show that has to do with the talent selection process. I get hooked on the suspense of determining the “cream of the crop”. There are several interesting aspects to the format of these shows that are applicable to the hiring process.

They start by casting a large net

As painful as it is to generate a big… Continue

Fatherhood

My daughter's first birthday is in a couple of weeks and I have to say that I'm taken aback at my reaction to her first year of life. Fatherhood is amazing.

Everyone thought that we were having a boy because of how my wife was carrying (we waited to find out), except for me. Something inside my soul told me that we were having a girl, and low and behold, almost a year ago she arrived and turned me and my wife into a family.

I could not love my daughter more than I do and know that… Continue

Terms of endearment: An SEO primer

These days, people drop the acronym “SEO” as if it’s as familiar as “FBI” or “PETA.” That’s because it is.

Search engine optimization – part art, part science, part Google voodoo – is the practice of developing online content that helps people in your target demographic find you via search engines. And it’s a fast-growing, multi-billion-dollar industry.

For those working in HR, the right SEO strategy can be the difference between superstar job seekers finding your jobs today, or… Continue

Brave New World

With the advent of new technologies, such as blogs, podcasts and vlogs, it is even more important for the self promoting recruiter to maintain an active presence. Because I recognize this, I try my best to stay connected through social networking, etc.

This is why I'm here.

So, to my old friends and especially the friends I've yet to meet, allow me to say; "Hello!"

I first entered the business in 1993 at Olsten in Phoenix, AZ. Since that time I… Continue
