Can You See Me Know?
I love that I have two children that really embrace technology. It’s so interesting for me to see experience how they communicate with one another and their friends and family as a result of having so many communication channels at their fingertips (literally) 24/7. As a huge fan of video communications, it’s exciting to see signs that video is beginning to trump even SMS for quick and immediate communication in some instances. Need a real-life and easy example to help illustrate...  Recruiter Guy -

Is Facebook a B2B channel (yet)?
You can dress SPAM up anyway you like, but SPAM is SPAM is SPAM. Or is it? When I was thinking about this post, it was in response to accepting a friend request from someone I had actually met (albeit in a business context so not a "real" friend). I did hesitate in accepting their request but then decided it could do no harm. I could always unfriend him which I did within 15 minutes. Why? Because he seemed to think it was OK to fill my wall with advice on how to use social media for... Hire Strategies -

2012 Minnesota Golden Gopher Football Signing Class
It has been a long time since I posted anything about Gopher football here. Do not think that shows a lack of enthusiasm or that my support is wavering. Quite the opposite but time has been in very short supply so while I have been attending and traveling to games my blogging has been absent. My Tweets however have been in great supply. You can follow me on Twitter by clicking @Gophers Today is National Signing Day for football and this evening I will be attending the University of Minnesota event... MN Headhunter -

U.S. Top 10 Companies Using H-1B Visas
During a recent Minnesota tech event I was part of a conversation on the topic of H-1B visas. It evolved as it usually does with sides taken on if the number of visas should be increased, eliminated completely or the door open to anyone who has needed skills. And as usual the conversation changes a bit depending on the economy. Flash back to the 90’s and the Dot Com days and companies were begging for the cap to be increased. Then the post Y2K and 9/11 recession happened and many arguments... MN Headhunter -

Social Media Recruiting on Smartphones

The UK is still in the early stages of using social media to this effect. By being one of the first to utilise smartphone technology for recruitment purposes,... The Recruiters Lounge -

Why job SEO is not enough
So we are starting to see various vendors claim their stake in the career site SEO (search engine optimisation) game. But just because you optimise your jobs, it does not mean you have found the golden nugget. First off, I have seen optimised jobs i.e. they are found by search engines, that don't turn up on page one of Google let alone the top of the page. I've also seen jobs that do turn up right at the top but still the recruiter does not get the best candidates. But search... Hire Strategies -

Is Linkedin really as good as we "think" or is it already an urban myth?
This question has been nagging me for a while. So many recruiters have claimed that they get all their hires from the job boards they use yet in reality they have no decent tracking to know where their hires really come from. Now Linkedin is flavour of the month but is it really just a load of hocus pocus? Has anyone got any real decent stats to prove their claims? I wanted to find out first hand so started digging with a Linkedin poll. Let me just start with the fact that I personally... Hire Strategies -
