The CUhire blog post every Wednesday is about delivering recruiting news and hot topics from other sites, newsletters and blogs.  Some great information caught my attention recently!

First, for Recruiting, Research and Sourcing professionals (if you’re not you can still learn something too) I came across a post this morning that has some valuable search techniques – from a site called GoogleGuide.

And, with all of the talk about social media and networking be sure to check out "Social Recruiting:  Corporate Adoption of Social Media for Recruiting and Retention".

If you consider competitive intelligence important in researching organizations and passive candidates, LinkedIn released some new features on their site that have a tremendous amount of value for a variety of users.  Check out the video for an overview.  Of course, if you haven’t had the chance to join the CUhire Credit Union professionals group on LinkedIn, check it out and join.

The CUhire blog post for Wednesdays is about delivering recruiting news and hot topics from other sites and blogs. 

This week I came across a great blog post from Jobs in Pods called "2 things every corporate recruiter should see and hear about recruiting with social media".  The videos are very telling.

Next, a post about job boards from John Sumser.  I have appreciation for John’s last comment about the importance of sites building alliances and partnerships across the web.  This is true for us too, and is a competitive advantage.  When you post a job CUhire’s Credit Union Jobs site you are leveraging our technology and partnerships with a growing network of general and niche job boards (including Monster.com), blogs, user home pages, professional networking, and association sites.  We target both passive and active candidates by also searching and marketing to a variety of associations, databases, and professional networking sites to drive targeted candidate traffic to your posting.

I’ll close out this post with some food for thought on a post I came across today on filling positions vacated by baby boomer retirements.
