A co-worker asked, "Hey, why aren't you blogging?" So, here I am back at it...
As the year comes to end, its time to contemplate our failures and our successes - study them - and then re-group and push forward into the new year. I wish everyone out there a happy, healthy and successful new year!
--------------------------------
ERE has an article I agree with - Jim Durbin explains that recruiters should apply the tactics used by traditional marketing professionals. Marketing 101 tells us that we need a media mix to deliver our message to our audience - we need to use social media, traditional media, SEO/SEM and yes, Job Boards. Different people interact with the job search process in different ways. Recruiters need to measure and evaluate the success of their methods and work across a multiple media strategy.
Fortune has a little story on the Dumbest moments in Business in 2008 - some of them are a little "over hyped" in my opinion (e.g. the Detroit Execs. flying in private Jets to ask for money).
Do you have an iPhone? If not you are nuts - especially with this much anticipated release (its a $99 refurbished 3G at Wal-Mart!). The iPhone is the single greatest productivity tool I have ever purchased and as a recruiter using social media, I strongly suggest you get your hands on one (this the express opinion of the author - me).
Before I go for the day - I was on a panel discussion with a few other job board executives last night. The conversation will be available on http://www.jobboarders.com in the very near future.
Thanks!
