The Fordyce Forum 2008 - "The Working Man"

The Fordyce Forum in Vegas was awesome (thanks Slouch and Rayanne!).

Here's a 2 minute video to give you an idea of who was there, and what RecruitingBlogs.com was doing behind the scenes.

First person to email Dennis Smith with the name of the band singing in the background, wins something of Slouch's choosing.

If you have ever thought about starting a job board....

you might think "what could go wrong?" -- well, I've been running latpro.com now for 11 years and here is what has gone wrong from time to time.

it's not actually a complete list, as some things are just not easily discussed in public -- but it's pretty close to complete I think.

Digging Into Recruitingblogs.com v 1.8

This week, we're looking at axes and how they get ground

The interaction between social needs, politics and commerce is the very essence of community. Friction, the stuff that happens so that bigger ideas can be generated, comes from conflicting agendas. It should be no surprise that the blogging on RBC features lots of…

How Search Engines are Impacting Job Boards

Yahoo! & Wikia - User Engaged Search

Yahoo! just announced, as part of their SearchMonkey initiative, the launch of Search Gallery on Wednesday and TechCrunch has a piece on the new and improved (“doesn’t suck”) release of Wikia Search. Both efforts, although they use very different methods, put tools in the hands of the community to offer a better search experience.

Search Wikia

It’s quite easy to build a bad search… Continue

Am I becoming a programmer??

I think I learned something this morning. I'm not a programmer by any stretch of the imagination. I understand how to use the 4 BASIC html tags (bold, italic, underline, bullets) - that's it. Being a guy that has recruited computer programmers for the past 8 years I've had numerous candidates ask me if I write code. The only code I know how to write is igpay atinlay. So here it goes, if I have a live link in the next sentence then I officially have learned one more programming trick. Ready? (Oh… Continue

Dave Williams

Have you ever wondered what you would do if you identified a passion outside of your current career? Dave Williams did and the result is, well, quite outstanding! If you haven't come across Dave previously let me tell you a bit about him. Dave was Senior Director for the Corporate Executive Board and led the Recruiting Roundtable for part of his eleven plus year tenure. At the time I was with a company that wasn't a member but did have the opportunity for a couple of really good conversations… Continue

When candidates hate companies.....

Recruiting on a developer position, I found the right guy and spend the time qualifying him. I have a list of where he's interviewing and my client isn't on it. Excellent sign because I know they're competitive when it comes to their packages and the rest on his list are so/so. He emails me to ask the name of the company and I reply. This is his response:

"Oh god no! [edited] is the anti-christ. I have (and many developers I know) avoid that company like the plague. I would rather… Continue

Reference Letter or Reference Check?

Periodically, I receive (either solicited or unsolicited) an e-mail with a resume that also has one or more reference letters attached. I must admit that I find these to be of little to no value to me. While I don’t offer this opinion unsolicited to the individual, once I have a follow up conversation, the candidate will usually ask my opinion about it, or whether they should send them out on their own when they are dealing directly with a company.

While reference letters have their place,… Continue
