Today’s post is over at InsideTMT. It seems like every talent management technology vendor is scrambling to incorporate a “social” element into their products. I have listened to a lot of pitches and demos lately and I’m beginning to wonder have we hit the saturation point? They are all propagating the concept that “we are social [...]
When you go out anywhere these days it is amazing how often you see people completely obsessed by their iPhone (or PDA of choice). There are so many people doing this, if you are not constantly checking your phone for a text, a tweet, an updated Facebook status, or an email – it seems you [...]

Yesterday I sat in my home office doing some work (can you still call it work if your unemployed?) and as I went to send a tweet about a new blog post I noticed a pretty active hashtag #RIS11. Then I remembered about ERE’s big Recruiting Innovation Summit that was taking place on the Facebook [...]

The value is in the opportunity to be interactive and engage with your target population whether it is new customers to buy product, or candidates to fill [...]
When people talk about recruiting technology trends the conversation is usually dominated by social media. It is referenced so frequently that it makes you feel like your watching an over hyped bubble that will eventually burst. Yesterday I wrote about why I think social media will be here for a while and the new value proposition. Why [...]
I have ranted before about the hype around the use of social media technology in recruiting. There has been so much written about it, you start wondering if it’s about to jump the shark.

There is a lot of talk about the Millennial generation, their attitudes and mindset. During family dinner conversation I got an idea for a blog series: From the Mind of a Millennial. This first post was written by my 16 year old daughter Mary. The other night, my mom suggested that I email my friend [...]
