Recruitment Blogs

Blog powered by TypePad

SlideShare on LinkedIn and other arenas.

Hi

As we prepare for the launch of Recruitment Community Europe, I am trying out different technology links and ideas.

LinkedIn has announced a wide range of new embedded applications, widgets and other tools. So, I have signed up for SlideShare, added the app to my LinkedIn profile, uploaded a presentation I made earlier this year the the Recruitment Consultant conference and, Hey Presto! there it is on both sites. Now have added the SlideShare badge to my Blog on the RCE site and it links back to the presentation.

So, next step is to see if I can put the badge on this blog.

Comments everywhere please!

New approach to aggregating job content launched

Hi all

Our business partner and long time development friends, Arturo Suarez Martin and Luis Gervaso, have launched a new blog and a new web site service, called Find Jobs In.. This is a beta site, getting ready to be a platform for other technologies such as SEO tools, with a focus towards recruitment.

I am really looking forward to working with them and watching the next generation of tools, such as our website in Holland, Kangarooster, all take shape over the coming months.

Well done guys.
