http://blogversity.com/recruitomatic A Contrarian View of Life in the Recruitosphere Sat, 19 Jul 2008 15:14:44 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I logged on to watch Robert Scoble's WorkFast TV full of excitement. Joined by social media superstar Shel Israel and modern day Leonardo Mark Bernstein the lineup would have been enough to compel anyone to tune in. But the topic for this premier -- technology and the future of work ... http://blogversity.com/recruitomatic/2008/07/12/social-disorders-do-not-adjust-your-set/ I believe Recruiting.com has fulfilled its purpose for me and is about to give up the ghost.  The so-called recruiting community portal serves no strategic purpose and drives all but no traffic. There is no interesting content that I couldn't get somewhere else. There are no pictures of Filipino hot ... http://blogversity.com/recruitomatic/2008/07/06/posting-on-recruitingcom-over-my-dead-body/ Okay, call me old-fashioned, a stickler if you like, but I happen to think publishing in the recruiting space comes with some social and corporate responsbilities. Don't you? While Jobster still has employees on the payroll it would serve their brand -- not to mention Recruitopians and the community at large -- if someone ... http://blogversity.com/recruitomatic/2008/04/21/filipino-hot-babes/ I learned yesterday that John Sumser will be vacating the Editor's desk at Recruiting.com. His going -- timed for early May -- will mark the closing of  another chapter in this seminal site's interesting history, perhaps the closing of the book. At this point I have to ask: "Who cares?" John's throw-away ... http://blogversity.com/recruitomatic/2008/04/05/vomit/ Mommy! Mommy! Come quickly, Daddy's blogging again! Is Twitter naff? Now, c'mon kids, how hard was that?ShareThis http://blogversity.com/recruitomatic/2008/04/03/drunken-fool/ Well, it would be bad sport for me not to at least recognize paidContent.org's headline having been one of the early adopters of Jobster-related content for a little SEO lift. With the company's likely implosion at hand, better to make hay while the sun shines, don't ya fink? But then again, hold ... http://blogversity.com/recruitomatic/2008/03/17/jobster%e2%80%99s-2007-losses-11-million-out-raising-more/ Here are the slides from my presentation for the Human Capital Institute and the first in their Talent Acquisition Learning Track which is sponsored by Trovix. I am answering some of the questions from attendees here, in the comments.

I remember many years ago when subliminal advertising was being used for the first time, at least that we knew of, there was a hullabaloo about it in the U.K. when I was growing up. The concern was this Kremlin-inspired technique was nothing ... http://blogversity.com/recruitomatic/2008/01/03/food-for-thought-the-weakest-link/ I thought Lou Adler's recent post Why You Must Eliminate Job Descriptions was interesting, didn't you? You did read it, right? I know I shouldn't generalize but I can't help myself in pointing out that readers of online recruiting stuff fall into one of three categories: The first are those who scan ... http://blogversity.com/recruitomatic/2008/01/01/my-job-a-description-of-failure/ I enjoyed listening to John Sumser in the Recruiters Lounge this week, stumping for the Recruiting Roadshow. I think the Recruiting Roadshow is a brilliant idea and all for a good cause. It will be interesting to watch how things roll out in 2008. I hope that I have ... http://blogversity.com/recruitomatic/2007/12/31/recruiting-roadshow-2007-conferences-and-all-that-jazz/
