HR and related blogs I found

Over the last few weeks I have been on a mission to track down some more blogs that cover HR, learning, recruitment, and to a lesser degree knowledge management.

Blogs as Due Diligence in Hiring

In my search for HR blogs I came arcoss this post from Fred Wilson from way back in 10th Feb 2005 on how he used a blog to validate a hiring decision.
