Hey Becky! How are you coming along w/ the relo? Just a little FYI, we got 13 inches of snow last week and it's freezing rain today! lol Hope you're well. Talk w/ you soon!
p.s. I FINALLY got around to posting another entry....11 KICK-A$$ Leadership Principles http://bit.ly/7t6omN Your feedback is always welcome! Cheers, Bri
Hey Becky! I know! What a mystery huh?! lol Good connect with you here as well. BTW, I just posted my first couple of blogs here. Hope you're having a great day.
Cheers,
Brian
p.s. we should connect real-time if you get a chance.
Hey Becky! Thanks for suggesting the site to me. I had heard of it before but had never visited so this was a nice reminder. Hopefully I can get some good advice and add some value for other folks while I'm at it :)
We had narrowed it down to Monster or iCIMS. Because of budget constraints we weren't looking at products like Taleo (although given the cost-creep, maybe we should have).
If iCIMS ends up in the top two, let me know. We have discovered a real license-creep in costs, practically doubling over the first year as "sharing" a license doesn't work real well. In my experience, they came in with a low quote, but over time, the other top runner would have been cheaper (and IMO better).
Hi Becky - I just opened recruitingblogs for the first time since mid-December and would be happy to talk to you about iCIMS and my personal experiences, thoughts etc. Unless your timelines are tight, though, this next week is pretty busy for me, so perhaps the week of the 19th we can connect?
I read your blog on peoples nerves regarding the market and inevitable unemployment. I enjoyed reading it. I have personally felt the same exact thing as you have, the good thing is that there are people like us that try to get to help some of these people out there despite the fact we cant get to everyone, the few we are able to help makes me feel good!
Thanks for your note and for participating in the Talent Talk Cafe chats. Its great to have you as a contributor! Let me know if you have any topic requests. Cheers! Susan
Thanks Becky...Glad I could be of some inspiration for ya! And thanks for the shout out for my birthday! I can't believe I'll be 31...yikes!
Merry Christmas!

Thanks for accepting. I also love it when someone returns your call but has not a clue who I am; thats when I great them by saying "(name) , What the Heck are you doing calling a HeadHunter" I figure a laugh breaks the Ice and guess what, no one hangs up or rushes me off the phone. Thanks again.
