One of the best booths at #SHRM12 (SHRM's 2012 National Conference in Atlanta) was the one powered by the Manpower Group. These superheroes were working the crowd, spreading the message and having a good time while doing it. Kudos to you superhero sirs and to Manpower for daring to do something different. Hahaha... LOVED these guys.

I had a blast at #shrm12 due (in no small part) to SHRM Director of Social Engagement Curtis Midkiff. He did an OUTSTANDING job! Kudos to you Curtis! Tune in to hear my other thoughts and observations from the event.

It is more obvious than ever that recruiting teams have to diversify their recruitment marketing efforts. Every person I speak with has an egg timer (no pun intended) on their job board contract. Will they swear off job boards completely? Universally, they will spend less. The smart money is moving to digital recruiting through targeted advertising and social…

It is more obvious than ever that recruiting teams have to diversify their recruitment marketing efforts. Every person I talk to has an egg timer (no pun intended) on their job board contract. Will they swear off job boards completely? Maybe, maybe not. Universally, they will spend less. One big board instead of two. A handful of niche boards not dozens. The smart money is moving to LinkedIn and Facebook.…

I hope everyone had an enjoyable, safe, and restful holiday weekend. As the summer heats up, so should your recruitment marketing activities.  You don't want to be playing catch up in the fall.

Like many of my fellow HR professionals this week, I have been busy reading all the fantastic blog posts related to the Human Resources (un)conference November 6-8th, 2009 in Louisville, KY. I have been blown away with the take-a-ways and conversation that HR Evolution has so far generated. I was particularly intrigued by our opening and closing sessions with regard to social media.

And then I had a thought. . .…

It seems the politicos at The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) have teamed up with JobTarget marketeers and are set to publish a 2009 Job Board Savings Book.



Apparently, you can use the coupons at over 1,000 niche, diversity and regional job boards that are slashing up to half the price on their job postings,… Continue

In addition to the subject matter content expert podcast interviews from this year’s SHRM Conference, we also conducted “man [or woman] on the street” interviews with some of the attendees that stopped by the employeescreenIQ booth.
