Brenda Burch Dumont's Blog

How do you like me so far?  Seriously, its a very good thing that I’m going to an all day WordPress training course this weekend. Yesterday’s blog on Bill Boorman’s excellent list of HR Recruiting / Social Recruiting blogs to follow included a spelling error in the title, and not one, but two incorrect links.  My apologies, here is the blog post again with everything working properly.  Could I blame this on Blue Monday?  I’m sure the first thing they will tell us on the weekend is proofread about 10 times before hitting the ‘publish’ button.  My apologies…

More than anything, this blog might serve as yet another example of the outstanding value of social media in general.

Bill Boorman is one of those incomparable Brits who seem to have such a firm and enlightened handle on the evolution, progress, and future of using social media to recruit.  He is one of the founders of UnConferences (@radicalrecruit in Canada), TRULondon which is a huge recruiting conference in London, England featuring guest ‘team leaders’ from around the world – all world-class in their niche.

Bill Boorman’s blog is The Recruiting UnBlog and by checking his website you can learn all about Bill and his brilliance.  I strongly suggest you hook up to his RSS feed or have his blog sent to your email inbox when produced and you can follow Bill on Twitter – @BillBoorman

One of Bill’s recent blogs is a list of 100 recommended HR, Recruiting, and Social Recruiting blogs with explanations on what the blog emphasizes, who writes it, why follow, etc.  This must of taken him a great deal of time, yet its up on the internet for anyone to benefit from.  This is the sort of value of social media I am talking about in the first paragraph.

If you want to begin learning online through social media, following a few select blogs is an excellent way to start and this list (even though it doesn’t include my blog!) includes just about anyone who does a good job of covering the HR/Recruiting/Social Recruiting topics today.  Get ready, here’s the link:
