JobTarget Pics

Ethan Bloomfield from JobTarget.com had by far the best booth at the ERE show in DC for many reasons. Not only that, they were handing cameras out to everyone to take pictures of whatever they wanted. Then the cameras were returned and all of a sudden, JobTarget was the proud owner of hundreds and hundreds of pictures from the show. The results can be found at… Continue

Day One at ERE Expo DC 2007

I’m here at the ERE conference in DC and so far it seems the

oil is flowing and everything is running smooth. It seems at least to me that

Dave Manaster has a little black book but instead of phone numbers, it is

filled with the recipe for a smooth running conference. Everything here is

good. I have not seen the book but I am sure it exists.

Over the last many years, I have developed a real…

Are Recruiting Fees Going Down?

I remember about 2 years ago I had my first conversation with Harry Joiner. Since then we have always enjoyed our weekly calls about domain names and recruiting. This week we each bought a new one but that is another post.

Getting back to our first conversation, Harry told me that he was convinced that agency fees were going to go down because he could not see how… Continue

RecruitingBlogs.com - A little layout change for a while

I am messing around with the layout of RecruitingBlogs.com

Ning has now limited the amount of things you can now have on the main

page. I have no issue with it. At first I did but now it seems I need

to take another look at what is on the main page and make some

decisions. Right now, I can't really add any more boxes so things are

going to change a little.

In the meantime, there are lots of pixels you can get for free and they

will last for 3 days. It's… Continue
