Congrats to @dmanaster and the ERE gang for another successful recruiting expo.
There was no shortage of tweets, or great content. Session coverage was provided by tweeps including @CincyRecruiter, @TheRecruiterGuy, @jrl2002, @ewmonster, @JennyDeVaughn, @sarahw79, and a whole lot more…
While there were thousands of tweets, here were some of the top 10 favorites:
- HR should report to Recruiting (this one got cheers).
- 82% of recruiters use LinkedIn, 44% use Facebook, & 25% use Twitter… To find candidates.
- We shouldn’t be calling email databases ‘communities’ in today’s online landscape.
- If you are an expert in social media why would you protect your twitter stream.
- We’re not using these tools to weed out talent. we’re using these tools to weed in talent.
- Crowdsourcing is becoming the new job board.
- Leadership is not a function of position. It is a function of behavior.
- The next recruiter killer app is the recruiter.
- The best college students aren’t looking for jobs! “A” students are starting a business. They want independence.
- There is not a population shortage, but there is a talent shortage. Talent is defined as people who have skills our organizations need now to reach business goals, make a profit, invent new products, and remain relevant.
Real all of the ERE Expo tweets with the #ereexpo hashtag.
Until next spring…
Wow! It was a lot of fun and had a ton of great tweets! Honored to have made a top 10 tweet!!
Thanks Sarah – many were talking about your tweets!
Great post, you nailed it. It was great to finally meet you.
Jason, what an insightful post! I appreciate the mention and look forward to seeing you again soon.
Thanks Traci, it was great finally meeting you too!
Jenny, thanks. I look forward to it as well!
Woot! I made the top 10 tweeting on my crackberry… dang!
Had so much fun and met so many cool new (and not so new) people! You guys did a great job with the conference!
The Fall ERE conference was definitely awesome! Great job of pulling out some of the best nuggets that were shared via Twitter. I find that tweeting at conferences helps me in really listening to the speakers for words of wisdom and helpful nuggets to share with my followers – which really enhances my conference experience. Plus, there are some really fun and funny recruiters out there who not only share good stuff – but make me laugh!
Fantastic event and my favorite thus far. There was some solid content and some great networking opportunities. I heard that enrollment was particularly high for new participants – and they couldn’t have picked a better event to attend.
Great stuff and was a pleasure to meet so many face to face.
I am jealous that I wasn’t able to make it. Thank you everyone for the tweets and Jason for the re-cap!
