(February 23, 2005) - It's slowly becoming the norm. A vibrant dialog about recruiting, job hunting and other HR questions is quickly taking shape. The following list includes the best 20 or so new blogs (in no particular order)

• Recruiting.com (which is rapidly becoming the heart of the phenomenon)
• Jobseekers Revenge (On LinkedIn Advertising)
• OnTalent (as reviewed by Recruiting.com)
• Online Recruitment Blog (feisty, nice perspective on HR Blogging)
• Andrew's Strategic Resourcing Blog (nice piece on buying adwords)
• Job Trends Weblog
• Monsterblog
• BoldCareerBlog
• Nobscott's Weblog (from the CEO of a Retention Company)
• Employment Digest (from Bill Vick's Extreme Recruiting)
• JobFiler (Not a blog but definitely blog influenced)
• BostonWorks HR Blog (First and consistently best)
• HireBlog
• George's Employment Blawg (employment law)
• Preemployment Screening Blog
• The Comp Expert
• Canadian Headhunter (good for a regular giggle. The sort of blog with real enduring power)
• JobStuff
• BenefitsBlog
• CathColl.net (thoughtful and wide ranging)
• HR and Technology (great for staying abreast of the latest)

OnTalent will certainly prove to be an interesting experiment. Written by Doug Miller, Hire.com's VP of Marketing, the project is a powerful attempt to demonstrate (and learn while demonstrating) the approaches that make blogs work. Doug's personal agenda overlaps nicely with the Hire.com product line: get recruiting and recruiters off of administrative chores and on to talenteering (Doug's word for intimate and personalized recruiting that produces strategic gains).

Be sure to read this story about a blogger who got fired at Google.
