The original notions of how to execute social recruiting bear rethinking. It’s not that Social Recruiting is dead. Its that we haven’t figured out a way to deliver it to the uninitiated (includes John Sumser’s recent presentation on this topic).

Also this week: Kelly Cartwright has Advancing the Gender Agenda: Three Reasons Companies Should Mean Business, Heather Bussing asks some Social Recruiting Questions and John Sumser has Mobile is Free and Five Links: Talent and The Net. Have a great weekend.
 

Five Links: Talent and The Net

This week: hiring great engineers, an internet for manufacturing, internet 2012 in numbers, state of talent managers report, and meetAlex
 

Mobile is Free

Today’s mobile recruiting advocates get their panties in a bunch over the idea of ‘mobile apply’. For the initiated, that’s code for the fact that you can’t actually apply for a job on your phone yet (in most cases). An army of competing entrepreneurs are hot on that task.
 

Social Recruiting: History and Future

So far, social recruiting hasn’t really delivered on its promises. The constant drumbeat of evangelism (hurry up or you’ll miss the boat) turns out not to be true. There’s no boat and missing it doesn’t mean much.

Dear XXX, If They Won’t Hire You, We Will

Great employment branding is job and market specific: acknowldedges the company’s realities (in size and reputation); understands the supply and demand variables and maximizes share of voice.
 

In The Mood: Measuring the Organizational Climate with Emooter

Emooter’s aggressive simplicity makes it an interesting contender in an increasingly crowded field. Simple measures of a new product’s acceptance (or a new software tool’s integration) are sure to be a part of the next wave of adoption measurement.
