This week, the
Recruiting Roadshow went to Cleveland. Hosted by Marty Snyder and the magnificent team at PC Recruiter, the Roadshow was an unqualified success. Over 100 Recruiters got a chance to listen to new ideas and start the process of building a local Recruiting Community.

Did you know that Recruitingblogs.com is the official online community of the Recruiting Roadshow? That means that we encourage each and every participant at a Roadshow to become active on Recruitingblogs.com. As a component of that process, Jason Davis is joining us at each stop in the Roadshow schedule.

That's how community works here on Recruitingblogs.com. Recruiters help each other. Learning to see beyond competitive dynamics and into collaboration is the foundation of community. Jason builds that sentiment everywhere he goes.

We follow the blogs here on Recruitingblogs.com very closely. You might want to as well.

This week's picks showcase community, Linked In and stalwart members of our universe.

Remember, if you see something you think should be highlighted, drop me a line.

• The Recruiting Party Upstairs in Las Vegas. Jason Davis is tireless in his development of community. This year, in concert with Arbita, there will be a Recruitingblogs.com networking event during the Kennedy Recruiting Conference.
• 29 of 30 Passive Candidates Weren't On LinkedIn Leave it to Maureen Sharib to start a great conversation about the relative utility of LinkedIn. Worth scanning the forum.
• LinkedIn Flexes Its Muscles This piece, by Jeffrey K. Radt (sometimes known as the Recruiting Radtweiller),talks about growth at the social networking site.
• Paul DeBettignies Some very sweet things about the Minnesota Headhunter. He's an amazing asset of our industry.
• Direct Recruiting from the Competitor -- Poaching or Aggressive Rec... The age old argument gets another hearing. I prefer mine poached.
