At 8:24am on March 21, 2008, RD Whitney said…: I wondered if Recruiting Blogs would like to host our awards program on the evening of Sept 8th. We have a nice ballroom in Chicago. This is the first year we have done the awards program in the US. We could use the combined force of Onrec and Recruiting Blogs to take votes (true democracy). We could come up with 10 awards: Game Changing Recruiting Technology of The Year, Personality of the Year, Best Corp Website, etc. What do you think? You up on stage handing out golden envelopes. You like? Maybe this is a way to work together for mutual benefit.
