I just got spammed on RecruitingBlogs.com

Wow - I was thinking that of all the places I was safe, it was here... on RecruitingBlogs.com

I love the networking. I love the ability to quickly reach to peers in the industry. I love the quick "touch" resources and ability to 'touch' those close to me with this somewhat new tool...

But I just got spammed on the RecruitingBlogs.com site.... again.

I'll spare the spammer and won't name him - but the unsolicited assistance in the form of a 450 word… Continue

Tips on adding contacts by resending invites.

Real quick wanted to add another tip on how to get more connections on Linkedin. And FYI I'm over 5100 now so these techniques work. That's about 1000 connections in the last month and I've only sent 250 invites out. And another 100+- resends.

Old Invites can be a Gold Mine.

Yea I know you already sent them one invite but somehow it either got ignored or lost or forgotten.

I started going through my old invites and resending the invites to people and they started… Continue

Wednesday Wisdom: How do you spell RELIEF?

Dear Claudia,

How do you handle an interview when the candidate is preoccupied with a personal issue? I had a candidate this week who insisted she didn’t want to reschedule, even though she was obviously speaking from the bathroom and flushed the toilet many times during the call. It was obvious she was suffering, and it was really awkward for me to continue. Should I have just cut it off for her relief?

Kind-but-uncomfortable

Personal information in the 21st century

We’ve all heard the horror stories of people getting their identity stolen and having piles of bills to pay, but after reading a privacy quiz on darkreading.com discussing how your personal information can be bought and sold by just about anyone who has it I felt a little uncomfortable.

Thanks Shally!

I'm really starting to enjoy my venture into using the collberative nature of Web 2.0 to increase my network as well as knowledge. Today in one of the ERE discussion threads I follow there was a link to one of Shally Steckerl's podcasts - this one related to using the new "Company Profile" feature of LinkedIn that allows you to get all sorts of good information about a company from LinkedIn. You can see who they've recently hired, who's been promoted, what companies people come from and go to… Continue
