Recruiters Roundtable

The Kansas City Recruiters Roundtable met Thursday to discuss Network Recruiting.

For the uninitiated, the Recruiters Roundtable is a group of Corporate and Consulting Recruiters that meets monthly from January through October to discuss recruiting issues.

Please contact me if you are interested in joining us.

Our network recruiting discussion uncovered a number of great ideas to reach new candidates.

Among the standard list of User Groups, Churches and Fishbowls at restaurants, we discussed finding Exercise Groups such as Running Groups, Bicycling Groups, etc.

There was also a short discussion of utilizing the local outsourcing companies and reaching out to companies that have recently hired candidates that are similar to what you are looking for.

I wonder this, we were all coming up with great ideas of places to network..the question is, how many of us are actually utilizing the power of our own personal network. Remember it is not the neighbor you know, it is everyone he knows that you need to link in to.

And speaking of...Linkedin has launched linked in jobs, that truly targets the linked in social network for jobs you are looking to fill.  Cool, Huh?

A New Marketing Executive Search Blog

Jenny Meade, one of the partners for DF Bryant, has started up a new recruiting blog to help spread the word about the marketing and advertising executive search experiences of, well, DF Bryant. 

The blog is called Be The One.  Find the One, and while it is new, Jenny has a couple of posts up already that suggest good things to come.

Though based in Kansas City, DF Bryant works with clients and candidates nationwide.

Good luck, and welcome to the blogosphere.

Marketing And Advertising Search

I had the chance to speak with Jenny Meade of DF Bryant last week.  DF Bryant is a marketing and advertising executive search firm with a good pedigree and some smart people working for them.

We talked about using blogs as a passive candidate tool, something similar to Harry Joiner and his remarkably successful MarketingHeadhunter.com.

If you're in that space, or if you need to hire someone in that industry, Jenny certainly sounded like she knew what she was working on.  We hope to see a blog up of some kind, soon.
