Alan Whitford commented on Mervyn Dinnen's blog post 'Who Wants To Join a Winning Team?'"Hi Mervyn
Great analogies, whether the reader is a "gunner' (as I am) or not. I have always loved working with start-ups, finding candidates who are willing to jump off the end of the pier into the unknown and build a business from…"

Alan Whitford commented on Keith Robinson's blog post 'The promiscuous digit'"Hi Keith
Well, the old promiscuous digit gets dusted off again :-) Funnily enough, I brought it up last week at PharmaTalent 2.0 (with attribution, of course). The technology to pre-screen/sift the candidates has been available for years, from the…"
Alan Whitford commented on Gareth Jones's blog post 'Recruiters turned Community Managers? I doubt it somehow...'"Hi Gareth
Interesting post. Takes on from our earliest experiences hanging out in NewsGroups and the like, but as you said, we had to become trusted members of the groups before being able to promote our clients' needs.
As to the challenges,…"

Looking ahead to TruLondon II and TruSource in London

Wow, less than 4 weeks to go and the Bill Boorman phenomena takes on its latest iteration with TruLondon II and TruSource.
Inspired by RecruitFest in Toronto last year, Bill has grasped the Unconference model with both hands and taken it into places and worlds unknown. We have all gratefully jumped on board, giving us a chance to share… Continue

Paul DeBettignies said… - I am the “Admin” for the Recruiters On LinkedIn group. You have recently joined and this is a "welcome" to the group and "here is how it works".
Over the past year I have been experimenting how best to facilitate members being able to connect with each other. Some want to connect with everyone and some are looking for a few meaningful connections.
1-2 times per week I send a group introduction message with 10-15 new members and reintroducing others.
What this means for you is simple, do you wish to be introduced to the group?
You have 4 options from which to choose:
(A) “Open Networker” with name, email address, and LinkedIn URL as you want to connect with anyone and everyone.
(B) “General Introduction” with name and LinkedIn URL as you are specific about who you want to connect with.
(C) “Lurker” no announcement will be made as you want to be on the sidelines connecting with people as you wish.
(D) “Super Open Networker” which is (A) plus having your contact information on the group page.
A caution on the “Open Networker”, you may be inundated with invitations to connect. For some this is exactly what they are hoping for and others this could be a pain.
I do ask, if you receive invitations from members you do not want to connect with that you “Archive” the message versus “I don’t know” so the sender is not penalized by LinkedIn although how you handle this is up to you.
Again your options are (A), (B), (C), (D).
Please include your LinkedIn URL and email address you prefer to receive invitations and send to paul@mnheadhunter.com
Thank you for your time.
