"The day I was featured on Dave Mendoza's Six Degrees Top Ten List" OR "How I will make a hire thru my LinkedIn connections"

Okay, so I was #16 (or was it 17?) on el-Dave's Top Ten List, but I bet it did not alter the results...

On October 1, 2008, Dave Mendoza published his weekly Top Ten list, and I was on there... and my life as a recruiter will never be the same.

Prior to that day, my LinkedIn first degree connections hovered around 1200+, thanks to invites trickling in at a rate of five or so a week.

Since that day - I just counted - my connections increased by 270+ connections. A minimum of 250 of those were… Continue

Forget Cannes, TIFF, or the Sundance Festival, I was at RecruitFest!

Have you ever been to a movie premiere with Geroge Clooney, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Mel Gibson, Nicole Kidman, and Pierce Brosnan?

Well neither have I.

** Okay, maybe I should have thought about B actors' names :-) **

Nonetheless, when I walked into RecruitFest, I felt awestruck. I was in the presence of thee stars of recruitment, and Jason Davis - our own slouch - was the producer/director who managed to sweep all the oscars with his debut motion picture.

I might be… Continue

May your holidays, and new year, be filled with much joy, happiness and success. I look forward to working with you in 2009 and hope our association continues for years to come.

Hi Maha,

Looks like it will just be three of us, maybe reserve a table for 5 just in case.

Thanks and see you tomorrow.

Hi all,

We missed lunch in November, however, thought it might be great to get together for the end of 08. Per Maha's suggestion at our last lunch we will be meeting in the Lawrence/Yonge area at this restaurant (http://www.sohobistro.ca/index.cfm ). On the website you can see the menu's.

I hope everyone can make it out, you will see I've invited a few more of our brethren, feel free to pass on this invite to other TO recruiters. As well, let me know if you can or cannot make it out and if we get a lot of people I will see about reserving a table.

Geoff
