Blog Talk Radio - Ready for Lift Off

For the last few weeks, I have been participating in the Bill Boorman online Radio Initiatives, hosted on Blog Talk Radio.  Bill (the organiser of this week's Recruiting Unconference in London) now hosts 3 shows per day:

Recruiting Down Under at 06:00 GMT
Ready for Lift Off - UK at 12:00 GMT
Ready for Lift Off - US at 18:00 GMT

We download and feature the recordings of each show on the homepage of RCEuro.

Today I have added the Blog Talk Radio widgets to the home page of this blog.

Let me know what you think.  And, more importantly, dial in to a show and participate.

The Recruiting Unconference Competition

Win a Free Ticket to the first Recruiting Unconference to be held in the UK on 19 November in London.

Hosted by noted speaker and trainer, Bill Boorman, the Recuiting Unconference is drawing delegates from all aspects of recruitment who want to pro-actively participate in one of the 9 tracks that cover everything you might want to know about recruitment but were afraid to ask. The Track Leader line-up reads like a Who's Who of UK Recruitment thought leaders. The full track descripitons are available on the registration site or you can download a PDF agenda by visiting the RCEuro site.

As the media partner for the conference RCEuro is supporting a one week competition to win 1 of 4 free tickets to the event (valued at £150). In addition, delegates who register and use the discount code RCE1 will receive a £25 discount off the current price.

To enter:

• View the Conference Tracks
• Suggest a 'hot topic' question to be discussed in one of the tracks, and why it should be discussed
• Email your topic to Alan Whitford: [email protected]
• The winners will be chosen by the Unconference panel and announced on 2 November

Information updates on the event can be followed on RCEuro (including the unique event videos). on the new Recruiting Unconference blog and on Twitter hashtag: #trulondon

The Unconference will be followed by the UK Recruitment Tweetup at 7pm. Register here for the Tweetup organised by Matt Alder and Jamie Leonard.

How does the Unconference work?

Each track will run for a minimum of 90 minutes 4 times during the day. All of the tracks offer the opportunity to get hands on, play and learn. The day is fluid in structure and is designed to provide maximum learning and participation. The track leaders have been chosen for their expertise and experience in recruiting and have the ability and brief to encourage discussion and debate.

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.
