It’s hard to believe it has been almost 2 years since my first tweet. Since then I’ve had the opportunity to meet a lot of great people inside and outside of my industry and profession, and publish a few blog posts on the topic. A few examples include:
Looking back the growth of twitter has been astounding. In April of 2009, there were 1.5 billion tweets. 9 months later (as I write this) there are 7.6 billion tweets and counting.
Last February (2009) there were 900 profiles with the word “recruiter”. Fast forward 2 months to April and it grew to 3,900. Today there are 10,372! There are also over 15,000 social media “experts” in case you hadn’t heard…
So with over 10,000 people with the word recruiter in their profile, who should you follow?
I would start with the 25 most influential recruiters on twitter, according to wefollow. They include:
Sure, one could argue the other 9,000 recruiters haven’t registered their profile on wefollow (that’s their fault) or have chosen a different tag than recruiter. Either way, you’ll be in great company with these 25 tweeps.
