Ben commented on Gavin Redelman's blog post 'How to Write a Perfect Cover Letter'"Im in the camp that says if it's worth saying it should be in the CV but I know this is can be a topic that splits opinions.

The last few weeks has seen me putting into practice the theory I’ve been prattling on about over recent months regarding social recruitment… And I’m loving it! Out of respect for my employer’s confidentiality I can’t go into too much detail but Tesco are at the early stages of a…See More

Tim Spagnola commented on Ben's blog post '4 Cs For Solid Social Recruiting Foundations'"Ben- congrats on the little one.

Following some recent conversations and having read some LinkedIn discussion threads lately I’ve been doing some pondering on the subject of employer branding.
