‘Tis an old maxim in the schools,
That flattery’s the food of fools;
Yet now and then your men of wit
Will condescend to take a bit. Jonathan Swift
“Amitai, who writes a snarky blog on HR issues, has quickly picked up a reputation for having a sharp pen and calling out recruiting bloggers with uncomfortable questions.” Blog of the Week, Recruiting.com
“Well, he’s funny and feisty and he must spend nine hours on every posting. They’re jam-packed with so many links that you could easily use one of his entries to create a month’s worth of ordinary blogging…Ami is an artiste and has to express himself authentically so he can’t pay any attention to the market, can he? No, of course, not. He’s a purist and they don’t sell out!” Mikey’s Monkey Award, Recruiting Animal
“Ami is the single most provocative and infectious of the new voices that have emerged in the blogging fury that has taken center stage in the industry…We were completely unprepared to like him so much.” John Sumser, Thought Leader, interbiznet
“Amitai Givertz is the cause of some of the most interesting thinking in today’s Recruiting Industry. While much of the ongoing dialog is network building and a wee bit shy on substance, Ami seems to be trying to build his business by asking hard questions…he’s trying to pursue guidelines and best practices in our new media world.” John Sumser, again…
“He’s the most productive person I have ever met. Furiously writing, experimenting and barnstorming the south, Amitai Givertz is a bundle of raw energy wrestling with the ambiguities of contemporary Recruiting.”… and again, John Sumser.

“A prolific blogger…I personally describe Recruitomatic as a “deeep” blog. You can’t read it without be challenged to think. Which is good stuff for this Okie boy.” Dennis Smith, Talent Bloggers
“You speak from the heart and that is sadly missing from many of our otherwise esteemed colleagues, but at least as importantly is the fact that you also speak from your head. Many who speak from the heart don’t think through what it is that they’re speaking about. You’re different. Thank goodness.” Steven Rothberg, President & Founder, CollegeRecruiter.com
“There was this talk in the recruiting blogosphere whether it is biased in favor of established voices, and Heather [Hamilton] made the point that if the content was great we’d not need any artifical linking for newer voices… You prove the fact that Heather was right.” Gautam Ghosh, Management Consultant
“Ami, where most bloggers are content to stand idle – you pepper the blogospere with thought provoking, oft times irreverent, commentary. Keep us honest …keep writing!” Jeff Tokarz, President & Founder, Just-Posted.com
“[You] make sense out of the ethereal, the high-minded, the analyzers…for being the one willing to lay it on the line, speak frankly, noogling their noggins in the meanwhile and scaring the bezeezus outta’ them for bringing to the forefront the secret desires hidden behind their breastplates.” Maureen Sharib, President & Trainer, TechTrak
“Irreverent and inspiring, Ami’s fresh voice is heard world wide. He is one of a select few bloggers I would consider to be truly disruptive of the status quo.
