I have always thought that most staffing agencies could use their own job board. Today I discovered the Jobspring Partners website. Its a combination job board and company site that really showcases their open technology rec's.Their design is top notch, and they use the homepage as the job board piece showcasing jobs in an easy to read format. The color scheme is simple and powerful. They make great use of their social media…See More
Chris Russell replied to lisa rokusek's discussion 'No paper resumes, Ppply on twitter w/minimum klot/kred score. Whaddya think?'"Forget about the klout score stuff for a minute and just focus on the no resume required part. Does anyone agree that for SOME positions you can learn all you need to know about the candidate through just their linkedin and other social profiles?"
Chris Russell replied to Amie Barnett's discussion 'Hiring people found through social networking sites?'"There are stories of sourcing people off twitter. I just interviewed 2 recruiters who did that for my podcast. They will be published in the next few weeks at http://blog.careercloud.com/career-podcasts"
Chris Russell posted a blog postIs it time for a "social only" ATS?

What if you just required the candidate to submit his/her social profile links in place of the regular resume.…See More

I've seen some blog posts on the subject, notably stuff like this;http://www.sourcecon.com/news/tag/sourcing-from-meetup/…See More
