Are recruitment bloggers industry quarterbacks?
In the first round of the 2007 Recruitment Blogger Draft JobCentral Drafts Cheezman. Contract value, $100k."
Congrats to Joel Cheesman for signing this deal with JobCentral(a service provided by DirectEmployers). It's a testament to Joel’s work in our space and to DirectEmployers’ commitment to the education of our beloved HR/Recruiting departments.
If you are not already familiar with Joel, welcome to online recruiting. He does a great job of explaining how and why you should consider SEO and SEM(r) as a vehicle for driving talent to your career site. You can find his blog here.
If you are unfamiliar with DirectEmployers…
- Consider their Mission: “To make recruiting more efficient, productive, and inexpensive through the sharing of best practices, research, and the development of new technology.”
- Visit their site and consider becoming a member.
- Read these two blogs: The Chad | Bill Warren. Chad is the VP of Business Development. Bill is the Executive Director and former President of Monster.com.

Anyone can play QB, backyard-style, but only a few will get selected to the pros.. Same for blogging.
Thanks for bringing your readers up to speed about DirectEmployers Association.. Some people just "get it" and those, I believe, are the real QBs.
