Gretchen rants about hiring managers
Last week Gretchen posted a fairly blunt post about the role of recruiters in large companies highlighting in particular some of the issues within Microsoft. When I first read the post I raised an eye brow at the honestly but thought nothing more of it. How wrong was I, and it seems Gretchen. The postContinue reading “Gretchen rants about hiring managers”
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. I would guess that we will soon be seeing more from Taleo on the whole employee referral process in a similar method as Jobster.

Find, Use, Share, Expand
I was reading Jeremy Zawodny’s trashing of Google over their new MyGoogle service and Jeremy mentioned FUSE. Jeremy quotes John Battelle from back in April:- Weiner calls his vision FUSE (for Find, Use, Share, and Expand) and it’s an apt metaphor – using search to fuse a myriad of services and applications, all of whichContinue reading “Find, Use, Share, Expand”
