Alright, so before I push anyone over the edge…yes, I can already see someone stepping up on to the proverbial soap box to begin the lecture about how they don’t need to know SEO,…

Like every other recruiter on the face of the earth, I use LinkedIn to source candidates, specifically the IT kind. I am also a member of some groups on LinkedIn that are relevant to my industry and the industry I recruit for.  So one day I’m combing through my LI feed and come across a posting in the .NET Developers group.  The title of the post…”RECRUITERS: If you post a JOB on our DISCUSSION board I will ban you…

I’m not really a New Year’s Resolution kind of girl. I don’t particularly want to give up any of my bad habits, and I work out just enough to fit into my favorite jeans (most of the time).  I have no real desire to do anything that different. I like my life.
