Great profile of an obviously smart guy. Definitely a deserving entry in the Mendoza profile series. Geoff, I believe in "Pay It Forward", too, but with 14K first degree connections, I'm afraid I may be guilty of a few "Don't ignore people" violat...

How do you introduce yourself to people you meet in business?
I teach recruiters how to find hard-to-find talent, and make sure the changes from improved sourcing are self-sustaining. These days, social recruiting is a big part of that (http://aces.arbita.net/products/socialrecruiting). My consulting is done via webinar, in person, and as packaged products.
All Industries, Basic Materials, Conglomerates, Consumer Goods, Financial, Government, Healthcare, Industrial, Services, Technology, Utilities, Other

Glenn,
Another question: I tried to view glenn@recruiting-online.com and received a message saying the "page could not be displayed". I have visitied the site before and found that it was really helpful! Has anyone else had a problem accessing it?
Hi Glenn,
Thank you for the Webinar presentation yesterday, alot of new information for me as I am as you would say "old school". I do the cold calling, networking, and have an extensive database, however trying to learn more of the newer sourcing techniques, beside go ol' Monster and things like that ;>
I did do on one of your websites yesterday and would like to explore/read more.
Also wanted to ask your opinion on recruiting certifications or getting certified?
Greatly appreciate your opinion and taking the time to answer my questions.
