The Client Side - Splits, Splits.org, Twitter, etc.......

I'm really looking forward to seeing how things evolve with Splits.org and Twitter along with other aspects that may tie in with them. As an interested observer who does a lot of splits, I think the idea and effort behind this so far is innovative and has a ton of potential. For me, splits have always been a relationship thing.

The Client Side - Is Agency Recruiting A Bubble Business?

Like everyone else, I've been thinking a lot about our industry lately and all the changes it is going through. There is no doubt that Agency Recruiting is going through permanent change.
