By Rob SegallTalent is the lifeblood of innovation. A company that truly believes talent makes the difference will thrive even in the harshest of economies. Ask Cisco. Ask HP. Better yet, ask Apple.When the dotcom bubble burst at the end of 2000, Apple took advantage of the rarest of opportunities and went on a hiring spree.

Rob Segall posted a blog postRecruiting is a Skill Set: Leadership and Innovation
The industry of talent acquisition is yet again in its typical and cyclical flux. If recruiters exist to help companies win the talent war... why does it feel like such a stale mate?

Rob Segall posted a blog postRecruiting is a Skill Set: The future with .jobs
I first learned about the .Jobs initiative almost two years ago. My mentor and good friend Ray Schreyer kept telling me about this dotjobs thing, followed by "do you get it??", "do you get it??", to which I shyly and insecurely said - 'Yeah of course!" (bluff).I'm so happy that Ray confided in me on his efforts and shared the vision he was working on developing into a reality with the Direct Employers Association. See More
Rob Segall posted a blog postRecruiting is a Skill Set: Expanding your Comfort Zone

Posted on April 6, 2010 at 11:51pm 7 Comments 0 Likes
In an economy that is getting over its hangover and slowly waking from the great recession of 2009, the thought of recruiters adding value to an organization is still an unfortunate after thought in corporate culture. In probably too many companies, Recruiting departments have been played as accordions to shrink and expand with the economic tune of the times.
