In short, and in answer to your questions: Yes, yes, yes; If you like; As you choose.

I’m sure I could find a million things nice to say about Lizzie. And to be clear: It’s not Lizzie’s work that I was finding fault with but the genre of infographics and the perpetuation of nonsense masquerading as data. In fact, that is the very reason I did not mention her by name so that it was not associated with a negative comment online.

Last, and I concede it may have been obtuse, I was trying to add value to your efforts, and the bloggers you list, by creating a custom search engine and providing the code for you — or anyone else for that matter — to add to their site. Needless to say, the filters for me, you and Mr. Starr in the engine were, again, shamelessly self serving.

FYI, this blogger list began in 2007 on my old blog Punk Rock HR. When I started blogging, there were very few HR bloggers. Maybe six. Now I send out a notice about two weeks before the list and ask everyone — do you want to be included?

The list has grown to over 200 blogs. It’s very inclusive. (Do you want to be on the list in the 4th quarter? Just let me know.) I include everyone who asks and some who don’t — and the list has bloggers who write about everything from compensation to benefits to genealogy. It’s all there.

One more thing: the infographic was Lizzie’s first attempt at doing something like this. I’m quite proud of her efforts. I hope you could find ONE nice thing to say about a young woman who is starting out her career.

Congratulations on taking first, second and fourth place.

To avoid any confusion let me say that if I didn’t have a high regard for Glen I would not reference him nor link back to his good work. Nor would I suppose that my referencing Glen would elevate my visibility to popularize the links in my selection which I believe are worthy of a wider audience than I might generate on my own.

So, if I caused you any offense, Glen, please accept my apologies. No offense was intended.

Laguna Source is a search firm and a separate entity of ResuWe. When we started Laguna Source we developed our own ATS which is now available as a commercial product, ResuWe. ResuWe has two products available ResuWe Employer and ResuWe Recruiter. Laguna Source now uses ResuWe Recruiter as their applicant tracking software. Candidates who apply via Laguna Source go to the Laguna Source database. The jobs listed on Laguna Source are all their current open jobs. I hope this answers your question.

Here is an example of a ResuWe Employer client’s jobs page: http://californiastemcell.com/Jobs_at_CSC

Oh, and I still think there is some future in candidates paying to apply to jobs…but only on the employer side. Time will tell.

Thanks for the clarification.

Changing gears we are offering a free 30 day trial for ResuWe Recruiter our premier staffing firm Applicant Tracking Software. For more information: http://recruiter.resuwe.com/
