ERE hosts Scott Allen who writes on the The Virtual Handshake Blog for a free webinar today:

By now most recruiters are aware that blogs and social networking sites can be invaluable tools for sourcing candidates, but are you really making the most effective use of these tools for your business. Job seekers are constantly told that networking is more than just being present in the databases – it’s a practice that you do constantly throughout your career. Some might even say it’s a way of life.
Doesn’t the same hold true for recruiters? Anybody can search a database. How are you going to stand out from the thousands of other recruiters using those very same tools?

That’s where professional networking comes in. Done well, it not only expands your sourcing capabilities, it also improves your marketing, opens up strategic partnering possibilities and generates publicity and career opportunities for yourself.
