Jobboard futurology...

garethmjones@hotmail.com — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 00:00:00 +0100

I have been thinking a lot about job boards recently, as both a customer and a jobseeker. In these socially enabled times, it strikes me that the job board user experience should be something like this:

Jobs are displayed in easy on the eye tag clouds, instead of ordered lists we know are manipulated by the recruitment organisations who post them. Jobs are highlighted to me by other job seekers and I can rank them by m [...]

What are we looking for at a conference?

alan@abtechpartnership.com — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 00:00:00 +0100

10 days to go before I get on the big bird to Chicago and then a bus to Madison to join the TruCrew and a great line-up of track leaders and participants to share knowledge at TruUsa . I am leading some tracks (Job Board 2020, Culture Clash, JIT Sourcing) and hope to pile into many others while there.

I have been thinking a lot lately about the future of traditional conferences, the Unc [...]

Corporate Social Network Conference - Amsterdam

keith@e-strategypractice.com — Fri, 15 May 2009 01:00:00 +0100

It's been some time since I last blogged as Alan and I decided that we needed to rebuild and re-brand the Beta of Recruitment Community Europe and at the same time build our Pan European members and marketing database.

This week I was fortunate enough to be a speaker at the Corporate Social Networking Conference in Amsterdam. It was also great to spend a couple of days at the conference with fellow speaker, Paul Harrison from Carve Consulting, a true thought leader in t [...]

How can you advise on Social Networks - If you aren't using them?

Wow, interesting series of blogs/articles out there on this topic.

I would love to see our blogging and social network experts like An de Jonghe, Ricardo Risamasu, Peter Gold, Bas van de Haterd all leap into this fray.

Check out: Tom Foremski of Silicon Valley Watch , who started this off this week relative to a PR 'expert' who advised on the use of Twitter and Facebook.

Then Jason Gorham has picked it up and run with it as it relates to an 'expert' in digi [...]

Personal Branding - A recruiter's survival guide?

alan@rceuro.com — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 01:00:00 +0100

For sometime I have been wondering when will we, with all the activity and talk about Social Networks, reputation management and "candidate mismanagement", see a "new business" model, the professional on-line reputation career marketer.
