Jason Davis, the King Henry of Blogging

One week ago, Jason Davis did the inevitable...he signed his final post on Recruiting.com.

The comments flowed and colleagues gave their final tributes (save one frady-cat blogger who left an anonymous comment).

It's been a wild ride for Jason. His late nights spent blogging and brainstorming have helped him carve out a legacy (even though he'd never admit it) within the community of recruiting bloggers that will not be soon forgotten.

And, thankfully, we don't have to look far to see what Jason's got up his sleeve. He's had the domain RecruitingBlogs.com for a while, and it's now a full-fledged community - check it out - but when you do, invite me to be your friend.

Finally, I'd like to repeat the comments I left on Jason's final Recruiting.com post. My comments, of course, are tongue-in-cheek, but in every bit of humor, there's certainly an element of truth:

In Jason's honor, let me now wax poetic on this final day with a bit of revised prose from Shakespeare's Henry V, 1598:

KING HENRY (Jason) V:
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And the remembrance of Recruiting.com shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember'd;
We few, we happy few, we band of bloggers;

For he to-day that posts on a weblog with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen across the globe now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That blogged with us at Recruiting.com.

Cheers to you, Jason Davis.

You are the King Henry of Blogging.

Black Hole ... Blog ... New Employee

On March 20th, I received an email from Joe Pierce (former wireless employer to remain anonymous ; ).

Joe had found me on LinkedIn and, as a result, got the address to my blog, WirelessJobs.com.

In his email, Joe said,

"I just started looking through the carriers website when I noticed what looks like a great fit/opportunity with T-mobile.

What do you think would be the best approach for getting an interview for this position? Is there a contact I could reach out to? I am hesitant to send a resume via the website because so many of them get "lost in the shuffle".

Any advise or recommendations would be greatly appreciative."

It's no surprise that Joe was hesitant to send his resume for fear of it being lost in the shuffle. Do the words "Black Hole" ring a bell?

So, what did he do? He sends me an email.

I left Joe a v-mail that same day and then got his contact info into the hands of Christopher Parker (T-Mobile Recruiter Extraordinaire). In Christopher's capable hands, the snowball picked up momentum, and 24 hours ago, Joe Pierce accepted an offer from T-Mobile.

Way to go Christopher! Nice job of recognizing talent and doing your very best to make sure that Joe's "candidate experience" was first-class!

By the way, I just hung up the phone with Joe. He's on cloud nine.

Guess what Joe...that makes two of us.

Welcome to T-Mobile,

Dennis

Job Market: Tell Me Somthing Good

Deloitte survey finds North American tech CEOs taking their search overseas to solve domestic talent shortage


Chaka Kahn made it popular long before it was playing on the corporate strings:

Tell me something good...tell me that you love me

However, it appears that today's ever-hot technology talent, is still failing to respond to the statement in a way that puts Technology CEO's at ease.

In short, while the CEO's do what they can to attract the best, keeping them is a completely different story.

According to a Deloitte survey released today, attracting and retaining top talent has become the leading operational challenge for North American technology CEOs.

As a result, the respondents of this year's Technology Fast 500 CEO Survey-Deloitte's annual survey of Technology Fast 500 company leaders-are taking their talent searches overseas (read the full press release HERE).

Almost two thirds (64 percent) of CEOs felt it was important to look overseas for the top talent they need to grow their businesses-even though 67 percent indicate their country's education system is successful in producing qualified talent.

However, the majority of CEOs are concerned that government restrictions on employment visas will prevent them from obtaining the overseas talent they need to successfully grow.

"Given today's race for top talent, it is not surprising that North American tech CEOs find it more difficult to attract, develop, and retain talent than to achieve profitability,"

explains John Ruffolo, National Leader of Deloitte's Technology, Media, and Telecommunications (TMT) Group.

"It is only the companies that win the hearts and minds of their people that will ensure their growth in both the short and long term. As a result, CEOs are engaging people like never before."

So, HR Manager...Front-line Manager...Technology CEO....I've just got one question:

What are you doing to win the hearts and minds of your people?
