Vinda Rao commented on Michael Wright's blog post 'Will my Klout score get me a dream job in Digital Media?'"Hi Michael, interesting piece. I have seen some visceral reactions to Klout due to the disparity in scores between a genius thought leader and a random celebrity. We surveyed 663 recruiters specializing in filling marketing/PR/social media jobs back…"
Michael Wright posted a blog postWill my Klout score get me a dream job in Digital Media?
Has an interviewer, or job advertisement, ever asked you for your Klout score? In time, maybe they will. Although Klout has a it's share of skeptics, and even angry types who seem hell bent on sending Klout to meet it's maker - the company continues to gain ground and credence beyond it's rudimentary measurement of Twitter and Facebook followers.…See More
Michael Wright posted a blog postWhy Courtesy Interviews are always worth the time
Talent Acquisition is a lot like courtship/dating. In Corporate Talent Acquisition - you have to be a grade-A slut, totally promiscuous, and with rocket-powered libido. That means never settling down with anyone permanently, constantly sourcing new prospects to date and get to know, and cutting pre-nuptial arrangements on a weekly, or even…See More
Michael Wright posted a blog postHarlem Shake is not an employer branding strategy
Probably the only thing that happened to me in February that can not be unseen would be the Harlem Shake. But there was a valuable out-take for recruiting too, from this joyful mass-adopted boogie.

Michael Wright replied to lisa rokusek's discussion 'No paper resumes, Ppply on twitter w/minimum klot/kred score. Whaddya think?'"W+K [the people who dreamed up the Old Spice Ad campaigns] are one of the most awarded and respected advertising agencies in the world. They also rebuked the idea of the traditional resume, [which does little to predict success on the job] with a…"
Michael Wright posted a blog post8 Ways to optimize your online reputation
If your name is Michael Jackson, Leonard Nimoy, Lindsey Lohan or Mark Twain, you might as well skip this article. It doesn't apply to you. It may seem rather ironic to some people that I'm talking here about online reputation. Last week I totally trashed the idea that the majority of HR pro's are sniffing around in your Facebook profile, - in order to get a glimpse of you in some awkward moment, making a politically inclined or insulting status update, or perhaps just seeking a swimsuit shot…See More
Michael Wright commented on Amy Ala's blog post 'Remote Work Done Right'"Great post - I definitely think you are right about Yahoo! and yes, you should try out working in your PJ's. "
Michael Wright commented on Michael Wright's blog post 'Why aren't more employers using video for employer branding?'"Hi Angela, I love your blog, thanks for sharing. Rackspace have always been the leaders in culture branding and it follows that they are showing us all how it's done with video and other media formats. Don't you just love the intel…"
Michael Wright commented on Michael Wright's blog post 'Why aren't more employers using video for employer branding?'"Hi Amy - thanks for the note - to be honest the data on TTH and CPH was pretty unscientific. I googled 3 sources, found 3 data points for each in reports on the subject, and took the average. Based on experience both in-house and out, I reckon 45…"
Michael Wright commented on Michael Wright's blog post 'Facebook check pre-hire? Never. Here's why -'"Hi Elise, it's nice to know that I'm not the only one who believes that FB is not useful as a means to select.
- And you are so right about the majority of FB feeds being utterly boring to those outside of genuine friend circles [&…"
Amy Ala commented on Michael Wright's blog post 'Why aren't more employers using video for employer branding?'"Thanks Michael, I'd be interested to see the data backing up these stats, along with cost of video production and ROI."
