Recruiters and sourcers are panicked about the changes on LinkedIn. It started with limiting free access to candidates and now there are rumors of recruiters ending up in LinkedIn jail for using Google Chrome extensions to ferret out contact information. The site, smartly in many ways, continues to find alternatives for monetization, and typically that monetization is seen as a …
It’s interesting as a working mother when pivotal career moments time with my children. My middle child was the impetus for my career in sourcing. I had been testing the water of online sourcing, digging into chat rooms, religiously using Online Career Center, and had some marked success in hiring Applications and Sales Engineers for my employer in the telecommunication …
This is my new favorite podcast….AirSource. Featuring the one and only Katharine Robinson, a legendary sourcer, trainer and of course notable SourceCon Grandmaster.

I don’t get to listen to the Recruiting Animal Show has often as I like, but I try to catch it whenever the guest is sourcing-focused. On January 6th (link to the show here), the guest featured was Jeremy Langhans. I’m a bit of a fan when it comes to Jeremy, having seen him speak at one of the many …
I recently did a webinar on boolean, and someone asked me why wouldn’t I just use keywords versus employing boolean operators? Well… would you like to find a haystack with a needle in it or would you like to find the needle in the haystack? That’s why boolean is important.

Ahhh… Employment Branding (EB)—the most buzzed-about phrase in recruiting today and a hell of a lot more sexy than Candidate Experience (CE). It’s so interesting—this meld of Social Media, Recruiting and Marketing. It’s the intro, the “How You Doin’?” moment versus the “do the right thing” check and balance concept of CE. If you listen to anyone talk about it, any …
Have you seen this tweet from one of my favorite people at FOT? I love it. You’d think I’d be pissed—at least mildly irritated. This is one of those lines similar to some of the others I’ve seen in the digital world of Twitter, Facebook and blogs. A constant flow of neener-neener between recruiting …
So you’ve found a mentor and you’ve worked on being a conversationalist, but now it’s time to talk sourcing online. I recently posed a question on Sourcecon.qa for a friend on whether or not Sourcing Cert’s were still important. When I transitioned to sourcing from being a recruiting generalist, cert’s lended credibility and enabled me to walk in and say I …
Every once in a while, whether you’re the sole sourcer or in a team, you’re going to get stuck. Brain freeze. Road block. You begin to wonder if you still know how to do Boolean and if you need to smack the side of your monitor to get Google to work the way you want it to. Which means, it’s …
And by that I mean “Boolean.” There are Boolean groups, Boolean blogs, Boolean trainers. There’s probably a Boolean 12 Step Program as well in a city near you. There are people that critique Boolean, with no Boolean expertise. There are people who speak of it’s demise. Which is odd, because it’s logic and then you can run in a circle …
