Taco Bell Syndrome: Where’s the Beef (…In Your Interviews) by Dawn Hrdlica (@DawnHRrocks)

I’ve harped on this as well.  Re-evaluate your interview process and create mechanisms that help you understand if a candidate is right for the job and more importantly right for the company.  Don’t barely touch the surface in an interview.  Great post by Dawn!

Big news this week in the Recruiting field is that LinkedIn has announced that they’ll be doing an IPO.
