Adventures In Searching

The really wild thing is that the five panelists are my best friends and real industry pioneers. Each of them has put at least 15 years into the industry. The have all worked on many sides of the equation. Each has been or is a CEO, each has worked as a recruiter or for a Recruiting company. They all know the equation from most sides.

Very remarkably, they are still pioneering. These are people who require a steady diet of large objectives and big accomplishments.

• Scott Dow is the CEO of The Empower Network. He followed up stints at Xerox and Kodak as the VP of Sales with a long tour at Adecco as the Mergers and Acquisitions guy. He is currently shepherding the introduction of Lean Thinking into our industry.
• Hank Stringer was the founder and CEO of Hire.com. He started the company (known as worldhire in its earliest days) after a powerful stint as an independent recruiter at the helm of his own firm. He is currently working on a project code named ItzBig.
• Jeff Hunter was the CEO of Intellimatch when we first met him. Intellimatch was a remarkable attempt to match candidates and jobs. He's currently the Head of Recruiting Technology for Electronic Arts and the Author of Talentism, one of our favorite blogs. (Intellimatch was the direct progenitor of ItzBig.)
• Don Ramer is the CEO of Arbita, the premiere job ad distribution company. Arbita is, by far, the most interesting Phoenix story from the dot com crash. Most likely, Don has the deepest experience in online recruiting having been a member of HelpWantedUSA, Jim Gonyea's pioneering foray into the world that was to become Electronic Recruiting. Ramer was an executive Recruiter, a corporate recruiter and a consultant (who preached Recruitment Optimization).
• John Younger is the CEO of Accolo. John was the VP of HR for Bank of America. He has built a number of companies in the Recruiting Industry. In January 2000, John founded Accolo, a networking-based Recruitment Process Outsourcer. The magic of Accolo is a blend of human networks and software.

It's an astonishing privilege to get a chance to work with these guys as a group. Between the bunch of them, there precious little that they haven't seen or worked on. We'll post you on the process.
