Who doesn't like free?
Fat free. Free iPhone apps. Free speech. Free-ninety nine – that's the kind of price we like. And how about a free ticket and comped travel to the #socialrecruiting summit on May 17 in Minneapolis at the Best Buy Headquarters? That's right, we said FREE, baby!
A few members of this motley crew called Fistful of Talent will be descending upon the 3rd #socialrecruiting summit on Monday, May 17, 2010. And we want to see you there which is why with our pals at ERE who put on this fine show called the #socialrecruiting summit (yep, the same brains behind the ERE Expo and the best news source in the recruiting industry around), and Pinstripe Talent (yes, as in the #recruitalicious Pinstripe folks where the famed Sue Marks resides) the main sponsor of the show, have hatched up a plan to get you there for free. Free!
