Courtesy of Lonnie McRorey, a custom search engine for extracting resumes using Google. For an example of software engineers in California, click here.

What do you think?

Recruit Through Blogging

Six months ago, we discussed the utilization of company blogs for recruiting. What surprises me is the hesitance that some organizations still have to jump on the band wagon. Those slow to adapt certainly bring up valid
