Wanted: A Few Great Recruiters
Posted by JasonWe’re looking for a few great Recruiters… Recruiting and advising talent takes talent, and while there are enough opinions (and content) in the recruiting and job seeker space - a majority is driven by self proclaimed experts or an agenda to sell a product. There’s also enough of the“sky is falling drama”.
This is where you fit in. “Job Search 911” will launch soon and has plans in place to become a leading network providing connections and content for both job seekers and recruiters. We’re looking for a few rockstar recruiters / career experts to complete an amazing line-up of writers.

The Crystal Ball: 2010 Recruiting Predictions
Posted by JasonEach year there are hundreds of predictions made about recruiting. Some come to fruition, some don’t. It’s always enjoyable to reflect back on last year’s and look into the crystal ball for this year.
This year is no different. Hundreds of predictions have been made about what 2010 holds for jobs, employment, and the recruiting space. While it’s not rocket science to discuss social media in recruiting or a big focus on retention as the economy turns here are several links to that will give you some thought provoking conversation starters, or something to read during your lunch break.
Job Board Coupons! What Next?
Posted by JasonUpdated: 10/30/09
If you haven’t used your job board coupons, time is running out! In an e-mail earlier this week, SHRM sent an e-mail blast notifying Recruiters that the job board coupons from their job posting center, powered by JobTarget, expire at the end of the year. Seriously.
Original Post: 1/8/09
I never thought I’d live to see the day where job boards would publish coupons. That’s the case with the latest coupon book from SHRM and Job Target, containing over 1,000 coupons for job boards.
If Recruiters have time in a down economy to clip coupons - “Houston, we have a problem”…
The Future of HR and Recruiting Blogs
Posted by JasonWith experts, sites, and communities popping up everywhere it’s been an interesting year in the world of HR and Recruiting blogs. This past month has been no different.
Earlier today, Jobing.com announced the acquisition of the Cheesman Group, including the popular and sometimes controversial blog Cheezhead.com. Cheezhead founder, Joel Cheesman, also wrote an official post earlier today announcing the acquisition.
Earlier this week, Ed Frauenheim and Rick Bell published a story on Workforce titled “A Tighter Rein on HR Blogging?”
And in August, the HRMtoday community sold on Ebay.
While these stories have no direct connection with each other, they play a role as the industry evolves with perhaps a new set of guiding principles - in defining the future strategies for HR and Recruiting blogs, as well as the so-called communities they serve.
