Social Recruiting Results: Job Seekers Perspectives

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Today, I wrote about Twitter Hiring Success Stories and when we can start seeing/hearing more cases and scenarios from Hiring Managers and Employers, who are getting actual results from Social Media.

I didn’t realize that Mashabe was analyzing the seeming exact opposite related to Job Seekers via the postHow Job Seekers are Using Social Media to Get Real Results.

The Rise of the Social Recruiting Manager

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

So you all know about HR Business Partner or a Corporate Recruitment Manager?  These nice titles have grown within the HR and Corporate Recruiting culture in the last decade or so.
