WirelessJobs.com - Job Update, Week of March 17th, 2008

Brent Rogers, Cisco Sourcing Guru

Brent Rogers, Sourcing Guru at Cisco, dropped by our offices on Friday and gave our team an adrenaline shot with his Advanced Search Training.

One word..... AWESOME!

A big - big thank you to Brent, who took time out of his day to hang out with us and talk about the sourcing skills that he's honed over the years.

Note to Brent:

One day when you are flying around the country giving your Advanced Search Training at ERE and Kennedy Conferences, my team will be able to say, "We got him first!!!"
Thanks Brent - we appreciate your willingness to give back to the recruiting community.

We owe ya,

Dennis

Undercover Camera Exposes Valentine's Day at WorldLink

Just another typical Valentine's Day at WorldLink.

Or, maybe Dennis just needs to stop the tomfoolery and get back to work.

Paying it Forward (an example from Gerry Crispin)

Last Friday marked my first complete week in my new role at WorldLink, Inc. Having taken the leap from Corporate Recruiting, back to where I got my start (third-party recruiting), it was fun to be back in the mix of things again. It was such a busy week, I was wiped out (mentally), after taking in so much during those first five days. But it was a good "wiped out."

The best part of the week came when, on my 2nd day in the office somebody says, "Hey, Dennis, the phone is for you!" I didn't expect anybody could find me (or need me) that quickly, but I was presently surprised when I hear a voice on the other end say,

"Hi Dennis, it's Gerry Crispin, how you doin?"

Now, I know Gerry has better things to do. But, fortunately for me, Gerry is one of those folks that understands the benefit of "paying it forward," and he finds genuine satisfaction mentoring knuckle-heads like me.

It meant a lot to get Gerry's call. He encouraged me in my new pursuits, and gave me some practical advice on how to move forward, and how to begin bridging the gap between where I've spent the last 11 years of my recruiting life, and where I am now.

Thanks Gerry. You are a class act. And the recruiting community is made stronger because of people like you.

The Life of a Wireless Recruiter

Yesterday I said goodbye to my family at T-Mobile, as I stepped out in to the next chapter of my "recruiting life."

I am very grateful to T-Mo for giving me the opportunity to lead their engineering / op's recruiting team, as I had the privilege to work with some of the best recruiters in the country (thank you, Jen, Jodi, Kristen, Mattea, Sherri, Ryan, Carrie, and Mattea!).

On Monday I join the ranks of another great team at WorldLink, and will continue recruiting in the industry that caught my interest in 1997 and has been my passion ever since: wireless.

I'll also be spending more time on WirelessJobs.com, and hope to begin making a few site changes soon. If you are currently in the wireless business, or ready to take the first step in your next job search, I'm all ears.

You can reach me at dennis@worldlink-us.com. Actually, you might want to give me a couple of days to get that one started - for now, let's go with smithtx@gmail.

Cheers!
