Greetings everyone, yes, I’m busy reconfiguring the site, so you’ll notice a few changes over the next few days. I was a little delayed in doing it then got a wild hair to sit down and start webbing. This is the result.
Let me know if you see any bugs!
Some recruiters don’t get enough resumes. I’m not going to cover that, because that’s part of the larger problem of finding people.
Some recruiters get the right amount of resumes. Great for them.
Then there’s the resume storm, where a flurry of potential employees floods some poor recruiter’s inbox, website, profile, whatever. Then this “fortunate” person with “many” options has to sort through them.
This is another part of the challenges facing modern recruiting.
Hopefully you saw our Twitter Feed, and saw how Bonnier Corp created a media start-up incubator.
This is something to follow anyway, since it could be the source of your future employer or your own company. But it’s something else I like to see – specialized start-up incubation.
I’d honestly like to see more of it, because a good, specialized incubator can focus more specifically on things the funders and others involved know about. It can create more effective results – and encourages others to do the same.
So what specific areas do you want to see startups focused on?
