(April 27, 2007) Jason Davis, as usual, has a great idea. His
new pet project, Recruitingblogs.com,
is an attempt to demonstrate an alternative to the Recruiting.com model.
If you watch the flow of material through the
blogosphere, you'll see a torrent of information. To quote Arbita's CEO, Don
Ramer, "You can't memorize a kaleidoscope." In other words, no one can keep up
with the flow of information about Recruiting and the recruiting industry.
We're about to see another level of output
multiplication. Every meaningful enterprise in the space is going to have a
"content contribution" during the next year. Kennedy's revamped Recruiting
Trends (just look at their
advisory board)
which will unleash 35 to 40 well crafted articles per month. Our
blogroll is up to
274 Recruiting related blogs. Great new outlets (like Amitai Givertz'
Bells and Whistles) are popping up
every week. Manaster's fantastic experiments
with blogs are bearing mounds of delicious fruit.
It's like being thirsty in the middle of the
ocean for most people. The explosion of sources of information leaves a
bewildering set of problems for disciplined professionals. They boil down to
"what is the best way to spend my time?" Certainly, reading 500 blogs is not
going to make you a successful recruiter. The right five, however, might.
Recruitingblogs.com, built on a free tool from
Ning (Build your own social network for
anything), is the next step in solving the radically fragmented marketplace. The
tag line "A Recruiting Blog about Recruiting Blogs" is a misnomer. The site is
pure Jason Davis. His songs, his mildly offensive
fake Borat Recruiting video. His
posts from Recruiting.com.
It's a mish-mash of pure unadulterated Jason Davis.
If you trust his choices in content, this is the
place to watch that dynamic process unfold.
From here, it looks like the solution to massive
data glut involves the development of editors who choose content for audiences.
When I spoke with Jason about
Recruitngblogs.com, he thought that individuals might create their own views
of the blogosphere. If I understood him correctly, he sees
Recruitngblogs.com as a model for
how individuals might organize their view of information flowing throughout
Recruiterdom.
I think it's much more likely that they will
follow editors like Jason as they mine content for themselves and others.
Take a good long look at Recruitingblogs.com. For
some, it will be a permanent destination. Here's my support of Jason's continued
experimentation.
World Class Marketing Consultant Offers Free Evaluation of Your Potential for Big Gains
In a free phone session, Ron Richards, President of ResultsLab, will hear your goals then give you a free whirlwind analysis of your site or ads.
Richards named his firm ResultsLab because he has a track record of causing big results and because he uses a continuous improvement testing methodology. Some of his most unique approaches are…
Radical truth and honesty - He builds your positioning, tag line, headlines and other grabbers by discovering a deep truth about you that resets the standard and disqualifies competitors.
But what if your advantages over competitors aren't compelling to prospects - and indeed aren't different enough as a basis for powerful positioning? In that case, Ron recommends changes in your offering, or even your infrastructure, that make a powerful positioning you develop with him become true - one that disqualifies your competitors.
As needed he develops names, tag lines, grabbers, arguments that devastate qualms, and results-multiplying calls to action. He applies these to your site, ads, and emailings.
ResultsLab's approach is different from any other agency or consultant. Read how here.
Call Ron for your free session where he'll listen closely to your goals, flag what's improvable and to what extent, and say some of the specific improvements he envisions.
Typical comments from his clients' case stories: "The highest response we've ever seen after working with lots of famous agencies and consultants," "The most successful system I've ever heard of for getting access to top executives," "A master builder in all media," "the most creative and skillful marketing consultant I've ever had the pleasure to work with, "finds the hottest arguments and grabbers," "demolished the price qualms that had eluded our sales and marketing experts for 10 years." "Beat our control by 4 fold."
