This project is a few years in the making but surfaced in its current form at the recent SourceCon 2008 conference where Michael was one of the top-ranked speakers.

It became apparent after SourceCon that if Michael was to do justice to all the questions being asked about his presentation — Beyond Recruiting 2.0: The Emergence of Cloud Recruiting — and to satisfy all of the requests for more “cool stuff,” he would need a site to keep everyone happy.

More than advocating a better understanding and use of web 2.0 applications for recruiters, the site seeks to chronicle and archive important information as it relates to Cloud Recruiting. “Cloud Recruiting” is the term Michael used to describe the convergence of “cloud computing” and recruiter best-practice.

Over time the intention is for the site to serve as a research tool and reference. The blog, where relevant nuggets are posted, is intended as a forum for those who share Michael’s passion — or take a different point of view — and is as good a place as any to get started.

Enjoy!
