At which point is it too much?

November 18, 2011

If you work at a company, chances are you’ve already heard something along the lines of “what are we doing with [...]” If you’re in HR it might be “What are we doing on BranchOut or on Monster?”.

Context in recruitment

October 5, 2011

What’s great about Google+ and the new Facebook features is context: sharing relevant things with the right people. If someone I know on Facebook is a recruiter and is reading a book about recruitment 2.0 – I’m more inclined to buy it and read it than if I see an ad about it. It shouldn’t [...]
