First ever Social Recruiting Summit to be held on June 15th at Google’s Headquarters
April 4, 2009
As Social Media continues to influence and impact our lives, it is important for us to understand how to separate the hype from reality. This year, ERE is launching the “first-of-its-kind” Social Recruiting Summit which will be hosted by Susan Burns. The event will focus on exploring REAL “social recruiting” tactics and strategies that are already in the field and working, not pie-in-the-sky ideas.
Who are the Presenters?
The upcoming summit is packed with many key speakers to include Fistful of Talent’s Kris Dunn, JobMachine’s Shally Steckerl, and PunkRockHR’s Laurie Ruettimann (just to name a few).
In addition, I am also very happy to announce that I will be co-presenting with Chris Hoyt, A.K.A. RecruiterGuy, on a topic I have frequently covered on this site: Mobile Marketing and Recruiting. Unlike other demos in the past, this upcoming session will be highly interactive. Participants will be taken through a live mobile “opt-in” campaign to experience first-hand how SMS is used to help build and engage a target audience. Whether you plan to attend this event live, or watch remotely, make sure to have your mobile device handy!

Fistful of Talent: FOTv kick-off with Kris Dunn and crew
March 4, 2009
Did you happen to catch the FOTv kick-off video a month ago? If so, then I am sure you will agree when I say “Mastermind” Kris Dunn, along with two members of his talented crew (Jessica Lee, and Josh Letourneau) rocked the show! The show was simply entertaining. There was no shortage of energy, humor, and of course great content. You can expect more of the same quality in future episodes.
If (by chance) you are new to Fistful of Talent, you can catch a re-run of their 1st show here…

I’m Pressing the Rewind Button. Care to Follow?
November 23, 2008
Ok, so it seems that the “Tag-you’re it” bug is flying around the web these days. Or, at least it appears that way within the recruiting and HR circle. Anyhow, I have been bitten by the bug twice now. I was tagged once by good friend and fellow Think Tank Member Amybeth Hale, as well as by Susan Burns from TalentSynchronicity.
So, what does this all mean? Well, it means that today is the day I press rewind and share a sneak peak into what makes me tick (i.e., why I do what I do) by providing “7 things you didn’t know about me.” Care to follow along?
Here are the rules:
- Link your original tagger(s), and list these rules on your blog.
- Share seven facts about yourself in the post - some random, some weird.
- Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.
- Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blogs and/or twitter.
Evernote.com announces the latest release for iPhone & iPod users
October 30, 2008
What is Evernote?
Evernote allows you to easily capture information in any environment using whatever device or platform you find most convenient, and makes this information accessible and searchable at any time, from anywhere.
The latest release of Evernote for iPhone, version 1.4, introduces our most (MOST) requested feature: offline notes. We call them Favorites, and here’s how they work.
When viewing a note on the iPhone or iPod Touch, you’ll see a little gray star in left corner of the note title. Once the note is fully loaded, tap the star and that note instantly becomes a favorite. It’s now quickly accessible any time, even offline. To view your favorites, click on “Favorites” in the tab bar along the bottom of the application.
Great for the iPod Touch
This feature is particularly useful for iPod Touch users. Now you will be able to view selected notes even when outside WiFi range.
Planes, trains, and automobiles
With Favorites, you can access selected notes any time you like, no matter where you find yourself. So, whether you’re heading to the corner deli or to New Delhi, the information you need is always close at hand.
