From one technical recruiter to another- This is scary accurate. Well done sir. Technical recruiters are a messed up bunch, we have some sick addiction to rejection. :)
This is really cool, for all those looking for a little additional proof that our time on Twitter need not be a waste! Way to go Brad, thanks for sharing!
Twitter is officially a viable recruiting tool, we all know that. It's also pretty easy to record your success, especially when others do it for you. Big thanks to @thecoleorton for documenting a recent hire I had through Twitter.

There is a fine balance between staying involved here enough and getting so overly involved that it affects your ability to produce results. We could all be reminded of that now and then.
