These days you can stalk plenty of people online through Twitter, Facebook and Google.

But, if you want to get your foot in the door, don’t over stalk Recruiters.

Here 8 things you should avoid doing to a Recruiter.

1) No more than 20 Tweets in an hour.
2) Never follow the Recruiter to the bathroom and talk him [...]

Sourcing sucks unless you have an iPod or can you tune into the Animal blog show. Why? Because you’re sitting in a chair for 8 hours a day staring at a computer screen. That is for suckers!
And, if you are a full life cycle Recruiter, you have to get out of your seat and track [...]

This is just funny. It has nothing to do with what I blog about - Recruiting and Geek stuff. But it’s worthy of a post

Football season is half way over, and winter is on the way. Cold, runny noses, shorter days, and a time when everyone is looking forward to the Holidays, but during this time of the year, I really like it!
When the alarm goes off Monday morning, I’m a happy camper. I pop into the office with [...]

 GeoCities is like Parachute pants, Jelly shoes, and Members only jackets of the 80’s. Gone. Out of style and irrelevant.
Established in 1995 they were once sprawling with users. Then Yahoo! bought them in 1999. Ever since then they have been fading away.
Yahoo! has also closed Yahoo 360, My Web, and Briefcase.
I used to recruit a lot [...]

Quick, what is the one thing you remember about 5th grade?
For me, it’s a girl named Tammy who asked me to go with her in middle of class. We broke up next day during recess. She was like a foot taller than me. I couldn’t have a taller squeeze cramping my style back then.
As we [...]

It’s Friday. You got a date planned with your soul mate. Reservations were made in advance. Then Tom over in Accounting, a total Dork with a capital D, asks for an activity Report on all the candidates in the last six months.

Cindy in the PMO Group created half dozen flow charts on the Recruiting process. She [...]

 Businesses are having retention problems due to their piss poor management of workers. And, what comes around goes around. Get ready for mass exodus 2010.
Here is what happened during Depression 2.0
Employees expected clean bathrooms, water and a microwave (maybe sunlight too). Instead they got shackles, long hours and myriad of meaningless reports.
Land-O-Lakes Creamer was [...]

Hiring Geeks is a blast and they all have something on their desk that screams “What The H E Double Hockey Sticks” is that. From DragonCon Figurines to a Bacon Burger Cheeze Krispy Kreme Donut.
But this! A Bamboo Keyboard! This is like, why?
Who would ever want a Bamboo Keyboard? Maybe a Panda Bear. But here you go. [...]

Styrofoam coffee cups will be the only thing left after humans are gone. That crap lasts forever and it’s not so good for the environment, but if you are a serious coffee drinker, you probably have your own mug. Only one problem. Some blank hole keeps thieving your Coffee Mug. Pony up some money for [...]

Most Geek Families use this as a Baby Rocker. What a way to save a bundle too.

You know what sucks worse than work on Monday mornings? Working over the weekend. But, hey! At least you have a job sparky. Unlike a lot of others out there looking for work, you are employed.
However, and I mean a big however, the unemployed are catching up on a lot of things like excersize, home [...]

 
We all um…say it. Um. It will never go away. The other substitute is Ah. Um and Ah are two annoyances that every Recruiter has to listen to during an interview. Check your Ums. Here is an incredibly high count of UM in a short time span…um, enjoy.

Live Albums have to be really good for people to buy. Most bands suck live and other bands are better live than they are in the studio. So here is Amazon’s list of the greatest live ablums of all time. But, I have only listed the top 25 from Amazon.com. Let me know if you [...]

If you have been reading my blog regularly you already know some facts about me. I like Gaming, Gadgets, Recruiting and Sports. You should also know that I’m married and my wife kicks my ass when it comes to financial stuff. She has a CFA. I know nothing about stocks and bonds.
The things I know, [...]

 
 
I hear a lot about this Foursquare app and how addictive it is to use. First off, you don’t want to fall off into a man hole covering using this app. 
 
What’s the deal?
It’s part friend-finder, social city guide and a game. You earn badges and you have to visit places. Sounds cool, right? I think [...]

Everywhere you look, someone is getting duped. Not sure when it exactly happened but a popular job board has become dirty.  
I’m not naming any names, but this is what happened.
A candidate saw a Project Manager listing for my company on a popular job board. He applied but was redirected to upgrade to a paid account. He [...]
