Notes on Recruitment
Have not posted an item for about a month now. Usual excuse - 2 busy 2 post!

Attended the Digital Media Conference in Silver Spring. Interesting agenda ... enjoyed networking with other attendees the most.

Met a recruiter from a local start-up (his blog), who pointed me to Doostang, a social networking driven recruitment site. Over two years ago, when I first used LinkedIn, I was convinced that social networking, an essential element of recruiting, needs to be a core functionality of all recruitment sites and services. Doostang is making it the center-piece of its solution. I feel that existing social network platforms (facebook, myspace, LinkedIn, etc.) is where this feature belongs.
