[Link]iamMedical.com » The Hard Work of Recruiting: 3 Strategies for Fighting Recruiting Mediocrity
This is my presentation from the recent Talent Net Live Social Media Recruiting Conference (btw, the conference was incredible and standing-room only). Big thanks to Fishdogs for pulling off the best conference I've been too in a long time.
As I noted in a previous post (Are you a P90X Recruiter?), I'm leery of recruiters who barely know the fundamentals of recruiting yet make it their daily task to conquer the recruiting world via social media tools. So my presentation focused on doing the "small things" of recruiting (consistently) because they are the things that define who we are.
Another way to look at it is…
“What kind of recruiter are you when nobody's looking?"
Do you cut corners and hope that your volume makes up for quality?
Newsflash: you are only fooling yourself if you think the Just.Good.Enough mentality is good enough.
It’s not.
Think about it this way…how much better could you … [Link]
Rehaul by Lance Haun » #socialrecruiting summit, SMA Seattle, NHRMA and SWHRMA
Although I won’t be traveling to every show I want to attend, I will be going to some great conferences that are all in my neck of the wood. If you haven’t been to Portland or Seattle before, now may be a great opportunity. And if you’re an out of towner, I’d be more than happy to buy you a drink at some of our great microbrew joints.
#socialrecruiting summit – September 13th – Seattle, WA
I went to my first one last spring and had a blast. While I was speaking at the last summit, this one I’ll be all ears. And I certainly won’t be wearing a t-shirt that tight again (seriously).
This year’s #socialrecruiting summit is being held this year at Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, WA (just east of Seattle). It’s full of great sessions and our chairperson this year is Chris Hoyt, The Recruiter Guy …

JibberJobber Blog » Humanities ≠ Jobs… what?
When I was choosing my major I figured I should major in something that would help me land a job.
I was pretty short-sighted and didn’t quite understand what that meant but I figured there were some majors that either didn’t get jobs or that got very low-paying jobs.
I ultimately chose to get a degree in business with an emphasis in Computer Information Systems. The only other alternative I seriously considered was an emphasis in accounting, but I had ZERO intention of going that route.
Armed with my BA in CIS I was ready to meet the professional world. Of course, I had an education complex so I eventually got my MBA also, and was sure I was on the path to serious job security!!
I would look at other majors, namely humanities, and think “good luck, but seriously, didn’t you realize you were putting yourself at a disadvantage?” …

JibberJobber Blog » What Do Recruiters Talk About At Conferences?
I think it’s intriguing to learn about what recruiters talk, and learn, about. Understanding what they are paying money for and what they are trying to incorporate into their business can help you understand how to better position yourself, whether you are in an active or passive job search.
Here’s parts of an agenda (full agenda here) from a recruiter conference… do you see a consistent theme? Browse through these and then I’ll make a conclusion at the end of the post:
Kristin Graham, VP Global Recruiting & Engagement, Expedia is going to talk about the new candidate… how the talent pool has changed since the recession. This sounds really, really interesting. She’ll talk about how to maintain credibility with different generations (including the high-tech high-touch candidates).
Stephen A. Lowisz, President and Chief Executive Officer of Qualigence will talk about a role the recruiter plays …

iamMedical.com » What's in the trash can at the Fitness Center?
The SnackBandit is doing his best to keep us off his trail. He's seemingly kicked his Snickers habit (for now), opting instead for a pre-workout snack of….pudding?!
Now, I'm just guessing, but I can't imagine eating pudding after a workout…so I'm thinking it provided a boost of pre-workout energy.
Either way, I've got two words for you, SnackBandit: Cotton Mouth

JibberJobber Blog » Age Discrimination, Old Job Seekers, Options
There’s a discussion I think we need to have that I haven’t seen elsewhere.
I’ve been thinking about this for the last year or so, as the job market has gotten worse.
The pink elephant seems to be those who are discriminated against for their age – specifically, the older worker (we can talk about age discrimination for younger workers in a separate post).
Let’s assume a couple of things:
- The economy, and the job market, are in the crapper. Regardless of what strategies and tactics you employ, some of you just won’t find a job. Period.
- Older people (what’s the age cutoff? 40? 50? 60? Or is it a matter of wrinkles and gray(ing) hair?) are passed over for jobs for various reasons.
Put these two together and it can be beyond discouraging.
Yesterday I read a really interesting post titled Silicon Valley’s Dark Secret: It’s All About …
