Are You a P90X Recruiter?

24 hours…until the TalentNet Live Social Recruiting Conference – and I’m stoked for 2 reasons:

1) I’m anxious to hug necks and reconnect with some unbelievably talented recruiters that I’ve not seen in way too long. And...

2) because I’m presenting at the 10am session titled:

The Hard Work of Recruiting:
“3 Strategies for Fighting Recruiting Mediocrity”

I fell in love with social media tools way back when, so I’m a self-admitted junkie and would be at this conference even if I wasn’t presenting. Excluding myself, there’s some seriously strong talent from across the U.S. that will be here to share their expertise – I’m just lucky to be along for the ride.

But since I will be there, I’ll give you an idea of where I’m headed with my session which should probably be titled, "Shortcuts to Recruiting Greatness.” Are you ready? Here we go….

THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS TO RECRUITING GREATNESS!

2 Minutes on Social Media and Recruiting

I had the pleasure of sharing a table with Bill Vick yesterday morning over a cup of coffee. It's funny....Bill flatters all of us by inviting us to be interviewed for a spot on on XtremeRecruiting.tv,when, actually, he knows more about recruiting than most of us will forget in our life-time.

It's a rare find - a big-billing recruiter who is as kind and considerate as he is humble (our industry needs a few more Bill Vick-like leaders).

We talked a lot about recruiting and social media. I'm not sure if it was the strong French coffee or just the conversation, but I was so wired up when I left there was nothing to do but reach for the video camera. Of course, I suppose I don't need much excuse to grab the camera.

Bill - thanks for making me think about what we do and why we do it.
