Emergent Properties
Some times, more of the same makes for something
really different. When that happens, it is called an "emergent property" of the
system in which it happened. Or, it is simply called emergence. Emergence is
defined with exceptionally clear detail in the wikipedia:
Emergence is the process of complex pattern
formation from simpler rules. (Read More)

Mark Anderson and Brandon Corbin Launch Appendant Marketing
Appendant Marketing Group officially opened its doors yesterday, June 12th, 2007.
Founded by Mark Anderson and Brandon Corbin, Appendant Marketing Group (www.appendant.com) offers an expanding suite of innovative recruitment and marketing solutions that enhance, enrich, and ultimately revolutionize the candidate acquisition process. Supplying on-demand marketing solutions (print and web-based), personalized communications, and results-focused consultations, Appendant empowers clientele to achieve their ongoing goals without compromise.
Anderson, VP of Sales and Business Development and Corbin, VP of Creative and Technology, came together through mutually deep experience in the recruitment and marketing fields, an intense passion for improving the candidate experience, and a shared vision to create a truly unique Recruitment Marketing Agency, focused on enhancing the candidate experience through technology, personalization, responsiveness, and outstanding creativity.
According to Corbin, "we saw a niche we could fill by mastering both web and print-based recruitment marketing, and then developing user-friendly products heavy in technology and creativity. While we're primarily focused on offering these products to industries that are constantly recruiting for open positions, such as healthcare and financial services, any company can benefit from our services.
While today marks the official launch, Appendant has experienced a busy pre-launch phase. Says Anderson: "In the midst of developing, researching, and perfecting our plans and products, we've already accomplished several key milestones -- from building trusted client relationships to implementing dozens of successful RecruitCard campaigns." Included in these milestones has been Appendant's ability to secure over $250,000 in pre-launch funding, (primarily through the SBA), with significantly more committed. In its first 6 months, Appendant has already generated approximately $700,000 in sales.

Deep Release:
Borden Elliott & Pierce Announce New Partnership with Online Recruiter
Borden Elliott and Pierce say complaints that recruiters cannot respond to every job seeker have prompted two companies to come together to provide a full range of services.
Borden Elliott & Pierce get complaints that recruiters do not respond when they get someone's resume; and recruiters complain that they simply don't have the time to respond to each resume. According to one source, "If recruiters took the time to respond to each resume, we'd spend all of our time responding and wouldn't have time to work on placements. Part of the problem is that most of the resumes we get for any given posting simply don't qualify for the job."
Borden Elliott & Pierce (and some affiliates) have developed a relationship with Whitehall recruiting that might solve the problem brought on by complaints on both sides of this dilemma.
Whitehall sends an email response to each applicant that acknowledges their receipt of interest from the candidate. Within that email is an invitation to fill out their inquiry form. If the job seeker agrees to have information shared with a career marketing firm Whitehall will (if appropriate) forward the inquiry to Borden Elliott & Pierce. "Complaints that we are not responding have already dropped," says Whitehall.
Borden Elliott & Pierce feel complaints about recruiter's lack of response will always exist. According to the spokesperson, "The problem is that recruiters only find a job for one person at a time, even though they may get hundreds of resumes for the same job. They (recruiters) are not bad people just busy people. Facts are facts; unless a company is looking to fill a lot of positions at once (which seldom happens) it will always be the case that the recruiter will ultimately only get one candidate that job."
When asked what makes Borden Elliott & Pierce different from recruiters? "Recruiters get a position to fill for a company and seek the one candidate out of many to fill that need. We work with our clients to approach companies. It's kind of like recruiting in reverse. We work with a client on approaching many companies, instead of a company seeking one prospective employee out of many."
