Are you interested in recruiting qualified passive candidates using cutting edge social networking technology?

Do you value verified graduates of top universities like Stanford, Berkeley, Dartmouth, Wharton, and leading honor societies like Golden Key (over 1,000,000 graduates with verified GPAs over 3.6)

Well check this out then!! As reported in Business Week….

I will be happy to give you a live, personal demo of the inCircle Recruiting tool at the conference.

Contact me at chuck@affinitycircles.com and I will respond to you asap.

I am presenting a session on Thursday afternoon in DC on Six Sigma and recruiting.  Please send me your thoughts and experiences with process re-design in the recruiting space.  I’d also be interested in hearing about any successes and challenges you’ve had with implementation, and change management with your Hiring Managers.  Looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks!

I’m interested in connecting with individuals who run corporate recruiting functions in house for their organization.  We currently have in house recruiters.  (Company size is roughly 8000 employees and $2B in revenue - 0perate in 46 states with 400+ offices.) We are working to transition the recruitment mindset from operating like recruiters who post to the typical job boards and facilitates the process to switch their mentalities to working more from an “agency” mindset, through networking and pure selling ability.   As a part of this exercise, we are working on developing a bonus/commission structure surrounding their activity.   I’d welcome thoughts on these two issues.  

Thanks,   Brooke Willey, HR Director, Yellow Book USA

Okay . . .getting here was, how shall I say, a challenge.

Because hubby (who shall remain anonymous) has relatives out here, I left the flight booking to him. And, being more Luddite than geek, he somehow managed to book our roundtrip tickets leaving and returning the same day . . . a week from today (Saturday). It was, shall we say, an expensive error, resulting our our buying extra tickets one-way just to get here in time.

And then when we got here, it turns out same hubby booked our extra days on either side of the conference into the wrong Marriott. The one in Del Mar, as in “not here”. The upside is he’s a pretty cool guy (see www.crispinmusic.com ) for those of you who are into music and, the saxophone, in particular . . . .

Okay, so I unpack my computer, and hit the on-button. Dead as a doornail. So I head for the local CompUSA because I had gotten an extended warrantee on my computer. We get to the location a half hour from here. No CompUSA, as the company has CLOSED all of its local stores. The nearest one is in Bakersfield. So much for getting my computer repaired. And based on the symptoms (absolutely no life at all), the motherboard is fried.

So . . .I gather Fry’s is the happening electronics store out here. The concierge gives us directions from the non-existant CompUSA location to Fry’s, only thing is those directions send us to some military base WAAAAAY far away. We get another concierge on the phone who was not directionally challenged and manage to find Frys and . . .woohoo! I have a brand new computer. Now all I need is to get the folks at ERE to send me my powerpoint back in time so I can polish and perfect it in time for my presentation later this week on developing active candidates.

So, I’m here and always up for cup of ‘jo at Starbucks or cocktails to exchange war stories about recruiting (I head an search firm that specializes in human capital intelligence . . .in a former life i worked as in investigative reporter and television journalist.) For those of you who’d like a little one-on-one coaching on how best to ID and recruit passive candidates, it’s on the house. And if any of you have questions about recruiting passive candidates you’d like to send me beforehand (or to post as comments here), I will attempt to provide the answers during my session.

I look forward to meeting you!

… yep, ERE Expo 2007 is about to blast off.

Hi expo attendees, my name is Dennis Smith and I wanted to write a quick post to introduce myself. I’ve got the privilege of joining Jim Durbin, Joe Grimm, and Heather Hamilton this Thursday for the Blogging Panel and I look forward to meeting many of you for the first time.

If the blogging doesn’t interest you, stop by anyway. Heather’s giving out free fashion advice! ;)

If you aren’t able to make it to San Diego this week, don’t sweat it.

I just got here and the weather is terrible….should be in the 30’s all week with a chance of snow flurries and ice storms.

So don’t feel bad. You aren’t missing a thing.

I promise (cough, cough!)

Not with me (necessarily) but with some of the hundreds of recruiting professionals who will be attending ERE Expo 2007 Spring.

We’re hoping the ERE Expo Blog will make it that much easier to connect with your peers onsite…and we’ve given you two ways of doing it:

1. Browse the attendee map/list and get in touch with your peers ahead of time. If you’re a registered, logged in attendee, you can contact other attendees through an anonymous email contact form.
2. Post a message in the Let’s meet up! category. This is a great way to organize a get-together of like-minded peers at the conference.

Hope you have fun with it!
