Evolution Of Social Networks Into Virtual Organizations

Although modern social networks such as MySpace.com, FaceBook.com, Orkutt, LinkedIn, and XING are enjoying a great deal of notoriety and success these days due to their popularity with--and wild embrace by--today's youth and the business community, their roots can be directly traced to Classmates.com and SixDegrees.com, both of which were formed in 1995 and 1997 respectively. In other words, it took 13 years for modern social networks to finally reach their peak--become ascendant--instead… Continue

Does anyone recruit for the proprietary or public post-secondary school industry? I have a former colleague/mentor looking to make a change. Unfortunately, I do not have any contacts/clients in that field and would be happy to pass her along to you.

Botox Season on the Web

By David Berkowitz

Earlier this week on "The Daily Show," Larry Wilmore reported on how Beverly Hills is coping with today's economic hardships, where women are waiting longer to get their Botox refills and plastic surgeons are taking on reconstructive surgery cases just to pay their golf dues.

That's hardly the case in digital media, where the plastic surgeons of the Web have their hands full. It seems like every… Continue

TMI?

That's shorthand in this text-message obsessed world (would you believe I've NEVER sent a single text message to anyone in my life and I'm supposed to be part of this tech saavy generation? I'm already a "freak" with my red hair, but now I'm beginning to wonder if I should add "weirdo" to my Bio!) for "Too Much Info" and I've been thinking a lot about transparency as it exists today in corporate America.

Obviously, we're all well aware of the impact that social networking sites have… Continue

Speed Doesn't Kill

In Recruiting, speed doesn't kill. In fact, it's absolutely critical to success. When's the last time you heard a new hire criticize their new employer for moving too quickly?

Don't believe me? Just stop and think about all the times you lost the perfect candidate to another employer - hopefully not a competitor - simly because your interviewing/hiring process was too long.

Still don't believe me? Then take a moment to read John Sullivan's recent ERE article titled… Continue

You can not be anything you want to be.

Almost everyone was told growing up that we can be anything we want to be if we just try hard enough. Unfortunately, this is not true.

n 5 time MVP

n 10 time All NBA First -Team selection

n Selected as one of the “50 Greatest Players in NBA History”

n Member of 6 NBA Championship teams

n 6 time NBA Finals MVP

n 9 time NBA All-Defensive First Team Selection

Firefox is a sourcers best friend.

So I am updated to Firefox 3.0 and with the exception of signature all of my favorite add-ons have been updated. It is these add-ons that make my life as a sourcer much easier. So below I have listed the addons I use and what they do for me.

Google Toolbar - Besides the search and the Google dog food here are what I believe to be the best reasons to use it. The site search button - you find a site that you want to explore. Instead of typing out site:webaddress.com you just press the… Continue
