Sorry I missed you guys last week.  I took a little vacation from Grandma's Chicken Soup, but I am here this week with an extra serving of online recruitment headlines from the past two weeks.

I know a lot of HR/Recruiting professionals are on vacation in August and why not? We all need a break some time. But, September is upon us and the…

What do the money managers on Wall Street know about the job boards that HR and Recruiting executives don't know?  The folks on Wall Street have questions about the long term growth and viability of the job board business.  The stock price after a strong quarter is an indication of their concerns.  They do not seem concerned about the future growth prospects of innovative organizations like…

Putting the Recruitment Innovation Summit in Perspective
