At 8:15pm Central time Stephanie will be discussing how recruiters can build communities with Twitter. And at 9pm Central Paul will discuss how to “Be A Resource To Your Community” Volunteer to speak, reach out to reporters and get involved in your community.”
As usual there is sure to be plenty of controversy and fireworks as well as some great ideas and new tricks to be learned. So tune in at 8pm Central and get ready for the roller coaster ride of recruiting’s premier forum, #TalentNet…live tonight!

This monthly forum, held on the last Wed. of each month, is fast becoming one of the most talked about Twitter events as we head into round 3. |
Our featured guests this month will discuss some very timely topics. Ryan Leary will be tweeting about implementing a social media strategy with your client. Thomas Licari will discuss bringing recruiters together on a statewide basis with Recruiter’s Associations he has started in AZ, IL, NV, and TX. AmyBeth Hale will tweet about Social Media for College Grads. And Jenny DeVaughn will reminisce about her experience at the Social Recruiting Summit.

Don’t Miss #TalentNet this Wednesday Night on Twitter!
May 26, 2009|
The first ever #TalentNet took place on April 29th and was amazing. A fast-paced exchange of ideas, opinions, and entertaining intel was provided by the participants and by special guests, John Sumser and Jason Davis. And we even had music to Tweet by (with some attitude as a bonus) provided by Jerry Albright. For this Wednesday’s #TalentNet, we will be talking sourcing with Geoff Peterson (@GeoffPeterson) and Kelly Dingee (@SourcerKelly). We’ll also get feedback about last week’s Kennedy Info conference from Susan Kang Nam (@PinkOliveFamily) and Julia Stone (@BizWerkerJulia). Best of all we’ll get to meet new friends and have more fun with talent industry professionals from near and far (hoping @BillBoorman makes good on his promise to tweet in from the U.K. where it will be 2am at the start). We will also be posting some news about the first #TalentNet Live Conference in Dallas this fall. Very interesting stuff in the works for that! This time around we will be trying out Tweetgrid to better manage the fast moving stream. Just go to www.tweetgrid.com and select the number of windows you would like to view. I would suggest using one window with the search term #TalentNet and set to update in real time, one window with your user name as a search term (so you can keep up with conversations directed specifically to you) also set to update in real time, and maybe one more #TalentNet window set to update a bit slower, maybe 5 or 10 seconds. Just ask anyone who has been participating in the very popular #GNO chats how they do it and you’ll get some good tips. We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow night! Not sure what you’re missing? Check out the buzz from last time: Have you heard?… It’s on #TalentNet By Jason Buss #TalentNet (#SocialRecruiting) By John Sumser You can get more scoop on this informative and fun event at the #TalnetNet Facebook Group. And don’t forget to follow @TalentNet and co-founders @Fishdogs and @PinkOliveFamily on Twitter! |
It’s time for another star studded recruiter get-together on Twitter! That’s right recruitwiterati, Announcing #TalentNet – Monthly Twitter Forum for the Recruiting Community
April 23, 2009
Here a network, there a network, everywhere a social network. Perhaps it’s overkill, but we are all now a part of so many social communities online that sometimes it feels as if we are no longer growing closer together, but farther apart. This is especially true in the staffing and recruiting community. We recruiters, by definition, tend to overdo it in the area of networking.
Through Ning niche groups like RecruitingBlogs, TalentBar, Recruiter Earth, Fordyce Letter Network, and others, I have met more talented people in the recruiting business from all over the world than I ever thought possible when I started recruiting back in 1995. But there is so much going on with all these groups that it is sometimes tough to keep up. And the place where I ultimately end up hearing about much of this activity is Twitter.
Just a short while ago the founders of RecruitingBlogs and TalentBar announced a coordinated effort to bring recruiters together on Twitter to participate in split placements with Splits.org. This gave my friend, Susan Kang Nam (@pinkolivefamily), a great idea for a monthly get-together on Twitter for recruiters from all these diverse networks to discuss current issues and events, #splits, and generally get to know each other better all in one place and one time, in 140 characters or less of course.
She asked me to help her coordinate this effort and I told her “Hell no!” Okay, that’s not true. It’s nearly impossible to tell her no. And I have no backbone. And she threatened my family. Seriously, I thought it was such a great idea that I enthusiastically agreed, and here we are. There was much debate on what to name such an event. Since we were trying to connect networks of talent professionals, I had a brain spasm to call it #TalentNet. I created a facebook group for announcements and so forth. You can join it here. And you can follow #TalentNet on Twitter at @TalentNet.
Please join us this coming Wednesday, April 29th, at 9pm Eastern time on Twitter at #TalentNet to join in the conversation. We’ll do it again on the last Wed. of each month at the same time. Network with your peers, exchange ideas, and get the latest news from the recruiting community. The top Twitterers in the talent world will be on hand. Remember to tag your comments with #talentnet. If you are new to the whole hashtag thing, just go to search.twitter.com and type in #talentnet. It’s that easy.
Susan and I will be on BlitzTime, a call in networking forum, next Wed. at 12pm Eastern to talk about Twitter and #TalentNet. Now please go join the TalentNet facebook Group and participate in the discussion on Twitter next Wed. night, or Susan may send @Chris Brogan over to your house with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch.
Seriously, this is going to be cool. Can’t wait to see you all there.
