EmergIT is yet another member of the "build a network by delivering upfront value" set. Their new magazine (on and off the web) is routinely placed in the hands of their customers. With a few design tweaks, the site will become a very potent recruiting tool.

While search techniques and candidate poaching are today's rage, staying in business over the next five years requires building a candidate pool. Emergit shows you how it's done.

The current issue contains:

• Connecting the Supply Chain - Descartes Systems Group reveals the secrets to finding - and keeping - the right minds
• The Virtual Recruiter - Caught in a Web of Resumes
• Stocking up on IT Brains: Enticing the best minds with stock in your company
• Are the Numbers in Your Favour? Should your company go public?
• What are YOU Really Worth? Dispelling the Myth of the Salary Survey.
• WIN a US Robotics Palm Pilot ... just for knowing your technology trivia!
• Only the Smart Survive - Competing for Knowledge Athletes
• Can the Power Rangers Really Help Us Get Jobs in High-Tech?
• Just Do It! - Surviving in the New Economy
• I Hate My Job - Some of your best employees hate theirs too!

Is this a new commercial service? A university based initiative? No, it's the work of CATA (The Canadian Advanced Technology Association). The actual site, Technoskill is a demonstration of what's possible.

As the economy continues to shift, there are fascinating opportunities for trade associations to rearrange their traditional roles. The fact that Technoskill actually sets design standards makes the entire segment worth watching.

It easily exceeds the the quality of services from our own industry groups.
