SAP and PHP?
A bit of a technical post today, that’s not to say some of my other ones have not been :-).

Beer mats for recruitment
An interesting recruitment strategy. The British Catholic Church has started to use beer mats ads to target potential priests. I guess they must has a talent issue are are chasing the passive job seeker.
Taleo & LinkedId
Via (OnRec) Taleo announces an alliance with LinkedIn to compliment their existing Simply Hired arrangements. An interesting backwards integration from recruiter to candidate.
