The Recruiting Unconference London

Viral Content. Dancing by yourself? #TruDublin

At #TruDublin the topic of how to make your content go viral came up. It is a consideration for any social recruiting project. This is where network comes in. For me, that means building a network of internal employees and contacts and understanding what content will entice them to voluntarily get involved. We had some […]

Accelerating Talent Networks/Communities With Talent Maps #SocialRecruiting

Talent networks and talent communities take time to build. I’ve been thinking about this quite a lot recently. One of the most interesting businesses I got to spend time with last year was Talent Works International, based out of Northampton, who have 9 offices across the globe. Talent Works are an evolution of a recruiting […]

There’s not enough talk about #SocialRecruiting. #TruSanFran

I want to start this post by stating that this is not a rant, nor is it a criticism of internet radio show #HRHappyHour or career community Brazen Careerist’s recently announced Social Recruiting bootcamp.It is however, these two events that have triggered my thinking.

Johnny is one of those people. After attending #truManachester, Johnny Campbell […]

We Don’t Need #Tru

    Yesterday, I posted under the title “We don’t need #Recruitfest.” The post brought some great reaction and comment, not least from Miles and Ashley from Recruitingblogs.Com . They made some good points on why we need to continue the candidate experience conversation. What I should have titled the post is “We don’t need […]

Method in the madness – #likeminds & #trulondon

Last week I went to a breakfast meeting to see a presenter that I’ve been hoping to meet for some time. The breakfast was organized by Word Of Mouth Uk, (W.O.M.UK.), an organisation you should check out if you are London based. The speakers were Scott Gould and Drew Ellis, the brains behind conference movement #likeminds. If […]
