LinkedIn seems to be pimping this #IfIWere22 thing kind of hard, which is cute, considering that basically puts this retrospective series already out of the most desired online demographic.

I love being a recruiter! Really! We get a bad rap from a large number of people, but it’s like any field, there are the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. I like to think I’m one of the good ones. I know my clients, candidates and my boss think so.

Video interviewing is on the rise, enhancing the face-to-face interview experience….online. It is convenient for candidates, but it has really made an impact for hiring managers and recruiters. They can account for cultural fit within the company without even being in the same zip code.

That question is:

“Would I want to be sold to like that?”

Last week I presented at the Australian Talent Conference about building a strong Talent Brand. In doing my research to find some good examples to back up what I was saying, a friend sent me a link to an Employer Branding video, which is, by far, the best I’ve seen.
