AT&T recruiting with a facebook fan page…seemingly doing well

Monday, August 31st, 2009

I was just invited to AT&T’s facebook fan page. Looks good. They have a lot going there and aren’t letting the facbeook phenomenon slip by them. Hopefully their tracking conversions and this fan page is more than a simple facebook hosted micro site and part of a larger well planned and managed referral program.

I hope [...]

Get local unemployment data from Google

Monday, June 1st, 2009

Looks like Google and the Census Bureau and Bureau of Labor Statistics have gotten together and its likely to benefit recruiters. If nothing else, it's likely to add some flair to your next corporate recruiting presentation.

Useful? Probably to some but no where near as useful or cool Google Wave is going to be.

Looking to hire lawyers, BitterLawyer may be a great place to advertise

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

I dont know what sort of traffic or targeting is available but the site's webisodes are hysterical and sure to keep lawyers and law students coming back. Don't miss, 'Typo,' and 'Punching the Clown – Part 1.'
The videos are a little too long to feel comfortable watching them at work, about 5min. But that goes [...]

Review and Live blogging my read of Taleo’s Career Site 2.0 White Paper, ‘Taking the Lead in the War for Talent’

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

I just finished reading Taleo’s White Paper and live blogged it here on Job|SearchMarketing.
It was very well done. I strongly agree with its stated case, ‘With Web 2.0 functionality and best practices implemented on the career website, an organization may achieve a competitive edge in recruiting the most qualified candidate quickly, and gain financial benefits [...]

In case you missed my 29th birthday surprise dinner

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

If you’re not connected to me on Facebook then you probably don’t know that my gf Sara threw me a pretty kickin surprise birthday dinner. I had no clue, hence the gym clothes. It was unreal, so much fun. Too bad you missed out on the homemade wine and fresh mozz (moot-z) aka Mozzarella.

TheLadders pulls super-cool brand move

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

TheLadders, the premium job site exclusively for 100k+ talent looking for 100k+ jobs, pulled off a really cool branding stunt.
They left $100k cash unsupervised in a park and recroded the reactions of people passing by. Check out the video they created. It’s way cooler than hanging upsidedown and it completely associates TheLadders brand with [...]

BanyanLink launches, fails to be interesting

Monday, October 6th, 2008

BanyanLink,
‘the premier professional utility and online network designed for
everything college and beyond,’ launched today. Crains’ Amanda Fung covers it here.

It looks like its
another social network for college student trying to connect w

Path101 is a more interesting
startup focused on college students. Rather than [...]
