Recruiters looking to recruit recruiters

I just took a look and there are 116 entries in the Recruiting Jobs section here on RecruitingBlogs.com.

I am wondering if anyone has had success hiring anyone yet as a result of the posts there. I have talked to one recruiter personally who has let me know that her firm has placed 2 maybe three recruiters they have met here on RecruitingBlogs.com

Talent Technology Webinar - Sponsored Post

Sometimes Monday morning my brain does not work right and what i think is correct is not.

Here is the correct correct link to visit to sign up for the… Continue

Recruiting.com

When I sold the domain name Recruiting.com to Jobster two years ago or so, I never really thought I would see the day where the opportunity may present itself to maybe somehow buy it back.

Now I have no indication at all from Jobster that they are looking to sell the domain name but they know that I am interested in getting that name back and into the hands of… Continue

Gerry "always comes 2nd" Crispin

The clock is ticking. You see there are some folks out there in the business who fancy themselves students of the game. People like Gerry Crispin. There are others and we will get to them but first lets talk about Gerry.

Gerry is a made man. He gets flown all over the world. He never pays for it himself. He has drivers and he likes to stay up late. There is one thing though about Gerry that some of you may not know.… Continue

New LinkedIn Recruiter Product

I just watched the 10 slide demo on the new recruiter product that LinkedIn has released. In my opinion, there is no doubt LinkedIn realizes that there is money spent on every recruiting angle out there so why not get involved. I was watching and I was enjoying and starting tho think that maybe they get and feel the pain the recruiting industry feels. But then, I think around slide number 5 or so they say you can use the… Continue
