By Jen Carpenter - What is Gen Y? If you ask a Baby Boomer or member of Generation X, chances are you'll get an answer that has a negative connotation. That's mostly because there are so many myths and stereotypes floating around about Gen Y that nobody knows what to believe. How can Gen Y contribute positively to your workforce?

Monday, January 26, 2009
By Vanessa Dennis - As you can imagine, recruiting for Sky Digital, the biggest subscription TV provider in the United Kingdom, requires a specialized team of talented individuals with a knack for assessing the best candidate sources. Therefore it's no surprise that Sky's recruiting team can be found on multiple social networking channels, including Facebook and Twitter. I reached out to one of Sky's recruiters, Helene Williamson, to talk about how a company like Sky is adapting to recruiting challenges during a worsening economy and what other recruiting tactics Williamson's team is eager to explore.
