Early this morning I met a really interesting HR Director. You’ll get to meet her later, as we scheduled an interview. Long story short, she is excited about the idea of blogging for recruitment.
The fact that this was the absolute first person that I spoke with here at SHRM and considering the attendance at Jim Durbin’s session on blogging for recruitment at the ERExpo in San Diego, I think it’s obvious that corporate recruiting leaders want and need to know more.
So, I quickly put together this page with links to great content for the woman that I met this morning and for HR/Recruiting pros whom want to learn about blogging for recruitment.
Doing this got me thinking and I’d like to put together a complete guide by collaborating with thought leaders in the recruiting blog space. The guide will share our collective knowledge with with HR/Recruiting pros. If you are interested in participating, here’s what I’m thinking…
My goal is that this guide will soon be completed as a collaborated effort by some of the more influential recruiting bloggers; it will be a value-add to professionals seeking more strategic sourcing options; and it will provide each of us with the satisfaction of contributing valuable insight to our customers, partners and networks in need.
If our own employers would like to get behind this effort and sponsor it, then that would obviously provide some great thought leadership and value-adding brand exposure as well.
Please consider this post to be my invitation to participate.
I’d like to invite Jim Durbin and each of the panelists of his ERExpo session on recruiting blogs. They include Microsoft’s Heather Hamilton, T-Mobile’s Dennis Smith and the funniest guy ever…I forget his name (but he was absolutely awesome).
I’d also like to invite Joel Cheesman for his input on recruiting blogs from an SEO perspective and Shannon Seery Gude of Bernard Hodes for her insight into the impact that recruiting blogs provide employer branding efforts.
Collectively I think we have a ton of knowledge to share and value to add.
Moving forward this page will serve as a collaborative workspace on the project. I’ll figure out how to make it work once I’m back from SHRM.
For now, let’s have it serve as a source of links to great content on recruiting blogs for Recruiting and HR Professionals to get introduced to the concept and technologies behind blogging for recruitment.
I’ll be pointing all interested HR Professionals that I meet at SHRM to this page. So, if you are interested in adding value and helping out, please post a link to what you believe is great content for an HR or Recruiting Professional to read on the use of blogs for recruitment.
I’ve linked the content that I plan to share with the woman I met this morning. Please comment below with what you would like to share as well.
