If you’re video recording anything from the SHRM conference next week and putting it on YouTube, I invite you to add a SHRM2007 tag to it. I’ll be promoting all videos with this tag from now till a week or so after the show.

In the process of pontification, I was not-so-surprised that the community had already begun the process of using this platform to create content around the […]

This time next week, I, like many in the recruitment industry, will be knee-deep in Las Vegas for the SHRM annual conference. Can’t wait! It’s shaping up to be quite the happening.
Like last year, I’ll be there blogging away on this and that, including interviews with the high-ups at HotJobs and CareerBuilder in the […]
