Case Study On How To Use Social Media In Recruiting
Posted on February 11, 2009 at 9:35am 2 Comments 0 Likes
One of the biggest criticisms of social media is a lack of results. Sure, we know that sites like recruitingblogs.com bring us value, but naysayers want to know how many hires we've made for the time spent.

Another Tired Entry In The Search Firms Suck Category

There's a new blogger on the scene, a rabble rouser from D.C. whose marketing plan seems to be tearing down recruiters as the scum of the earth. How very unique and original!

Payrolling Service for Contractors? Suggestions?
Posted on January 19, 2009 at 4:57pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
If I were to start my a new firm and payroll contractors, where would I turn?
Does anyone have any suggestions for people to call, and what kind of rates to expect and cash upfront I would need? Especially in this economy.
