Regina from BNet Blogs asks an interesting question. How do you measure the success of a blog strategy? There are many items out there that can help you develop your measures. At the end of the day you need to have a clear measure for success, like when Jeremy Wright auctioned his blogging service onContinue reading “Success of your blog”

Vertical Search
A couple of days ago Indeed announced a partnership with Info.com that will integrate the 100,000s of jobs that Indeed has into Info.com‘s aggregated search engine. (In Australia Sensis is doing a similar thing to Info.com). An interesting convergence of tools. This got me thinking about comparing Indeed with SimplyHired, an interesting question. How doesContinue reading “Vertical Search”

Japan, knives and GPS tracking
It seems the Japanese are getting very serious about the security of their children. They now have knife proof clothing, GPS tagged bags and personal alarm systems. However I have to wonder about the privacy impacts and long term psychological changes with the culture based on these types of changes.

Seek has been a leader in the AustralianContinue reading “Online Recruitment company lists”
New Visa arrangements in Australia
Just noticed that DIMIA (Department of Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs) in Australia have released changes to the infamous 457 Visa’s. I wonder if it will have an impact on the offshoring process that is happening within Australia? Or even the whole skills shortage issue.
Lenn leaving Microsoft to join Skype
I found this interesting piece of news this morning. Lenn Pryor, Robert Scoble’s boss is off to the UK to join Skype. He leaves Microsoft after almost 8 years. Interesting, I wonder long term what this means?
Messaging and workflow
Dub’s has continued his thoughts on workflow and extended on my post around messaging (aren’t blogs great!) and simplified my thoughts into an easy to read summary. However I don’t agree with his comments on HR-XML being the “new” model and savior to our messaging needs. (Again a great thing about blogs is we canContinue reading “Messaging and workflow”
ERE has blogs
I just noticed Electronic Recruiting Exchange has blogs. Cool. Not sure how long they have been there but it is still good to see, now only if they had an RSS feed.
