In today’s job marketing my guess is you’re probably receiving a lot of contacts from many unqualified candidates or even from candidates that are outside of the country.

Unfortunately there’s not a way completely weed out the unqualified candidate using any recruitment marketing channel. However, when it comes to recruitment PPC
if you are targeting appropriately and catering your ads to only those candidates that you want to attract, you’re likely to get far fewer unqualified candidates.

Below are some 5 tips to consider when launching your recruitment PPC ads.

Here's another People search engine that may help you in your search efforts. While Pipl.com remains one of my favorites I thought I'd introduce you to another new people search tool called Whoozy

Here’s a cool new tool that helps you visually see recent connections to a person’s twitter account.  This can be particularly useful to find say others of maybe same group/titles/or even interests.   For example you know of a particular engineer/architect – this can visually show other twitter folks whom are connected and also shows mutual connections.  I feel this could be a great way

We’re already nearing 1/12 into the new year. While I was personally glad to see 2009 go quietly into the dark night, I have been eagerly waiting to see a new dawn with 2010.

Why?

All the major search engines have recently incorporated real-time search results. For example, blogposts that used to take 5-15 minutes to get indexed are now under 10 seconds (see video at http://www.technologyreview.com/video/?vid=513).

There's no one fixed magic formula or silver bullet for what is going to go viral on Twitter but here's a few things I've learned along the way both in managing our teams tweeting and working with our clients, and also from the collective intelligence of the many experts we follow.

But first, why is this important? Or better yet, is Twitter still relevant or is it "dying" already?

If you're a sourcer or a recruiter who's always got an eye out for talent pipeline building techniques, you know that the industry provides very few dedicated conferences to learning the latest world-class sourcing methods and best practices. (You only seem to get bits and pieces at regular recruiting events.)

One event that we feared had gone away has its mojo back -- SourceCon is now part of ERE. We have supported it in the beginning, and we're excited to be participating and bringing new components into it this year to make it the must-attend sourcing event of 2010.

We got so many great questions during the Twitter webinar that I presented last week (not surprising since we actually got within a few dozen of the maximum 1,000 simultaneous attendees allowed by Citrix GoToWebinar!) that I've decided to address selected ones via the blog.

Hi just checking in from the journey path to provide some quick observations and information.

TinEye is a reverse image search engine that is extremely useful in helping us source for people with a particular certification. Say for example you want to find folks who are MCP (Microsoft Certified Professionals) - all you need to do is first find the relevant logo for that particular certification.
