Recruiting Blogs (24,054)

No sleep for me in vegas.

The Kennedy Show is great and I did not go to sleep last night. I hung out with Gerry Crispin till 4am and then made it through till now.

Yesterday there was a discussion on blogs and the one thing that really struck me was that when the question was asked how many people in the audience are thinking about starting a recruiting blog, way more hands went up than last year when the same question was asked.

It will be interesting to see what happens.

I have had some great…

"...I am attempting to provide some help to my step-son in a fund raising project he is doing to raise money to be part of a basketball tour this…

The Blogging Will Continue Until Morale Improves

Ahem! Does this blog software work? Who can read my blog? Just my friends? Or anyone? Should my blog be professional and uptight, like my regular blog? Or should I let my hair down for my friends? And why is it that my blog friends are much better looking than my real friends?

The quick ~~brown~~ fox jumped over the lazy dog.
Testing, testing, testing…

Vegas...a blogger's Heaven

Like Slouch, I too am headed to Vegas.

Looking forward to seeing a bunch of you yahoos again, and meeting some of you for the first time.

Off To The Kennedy Show In Vegas

Tomorrow morning I am off to Vegas for the Kennedy Show.

They have set up a bloggers area based on the fact that last year, it

was a real success. People like to kick back and chill out. Afterall,

it's Vegas.

I am excited to talk about blogging and even though I am not on the panel that will be discussing blogs,

I do have some good ideas about them. If… Continue

Facial Distortion

I found this site a couple weeks ago - http://www-old.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk/~morph/Transformer/. Check it out; you might need to download Java, but it's worth it! You can check out what you'd look like older, younger, as a baby, as a painting, and the coolest stuff: what you might look like as different ethnicities. Check out some of my different "looks" below! …

Candidate with no eyebrows

I just posted a question on LinkedIn asking what is the most unusual experience people have had with candidates. This is one of my favorite questions ever, because it always results in me laughing so hard tears stream down my cheeks! aaaahhh - sometimes we just need the comedy in the middle of our day. My latest was a candidate whose eyebrows were shaved off. Hey - my client didn't specify eyebrows as one of the job requirements!!! hee hee hee

One of the LinkedIn question responses I…

A Glimpse Into A Recruiting Animal's Psyche

Today was my last day

writing on Recruiting.com. But more exciting than that, today I was on

the Recruiting Animal Show. Not many people have gotten to witness

first hand the way he and I communicate together. It is sometimes very

difficult given the fact most of what he says sounds like barks and

growls. Anyways, it is rare glimpse into what goes on between the two of us on an almost daily basis.…

Blog Promotion

Given that this is an online community about recruiting blogs, we must all have a blog, or at least be considering one. So we must be interested in promoting these blogs, and increasing our Page Rank.

Over on ERE I put forward the idea of using a Wiki (style) process to generate a Definitive Document, in this case for Hiring in China. See…

Yeah RecruitingBlogs.com I found my peeps on the Blogosphere..

For Recruiting, I often visit the sites of Vincent Wright, Bill Vick and Jim Stroud -- because they offer relevant information that inspire, relate to best practices, etc..

For Health, those of you who know my interesting… Continue

Use Scripts When Recruiting

This is interesting. Bill Vick interviewed a guy named Jordan Rayboy. He is a top biller accoprding to Bill and what I found most interesting is that 7 years ago when Jordan got into the business, he did great his first year and used no scripts. Seven years later, he is still doing great and he uses scripts for everything. I am a huge beleiver in scripts. Use them, they work, you are not above them.

Here is the… Continue
