Niche social networks are popping up all over the place. It makes complete sense; Facebook or other behemoth social networks can’t possibly service everyone’s needs. And this is no more true than in the world of recruiting.
The most well-known social network for recruiters is RecruitingBlogs.com which offers a great place for recruiters and folks in the HR industry to get together, chat, discuss best practices, network and learn from one another.
And most recently, HRMToday and HR Bloggers joined forces to create their own social network for recruiters.
The news of the merger between the sites is all over the recruiting blogosphere.
I’m certain the new site - which is located at HRMToday.com - will add a valuable voice and resource to the recruiting world. It will be managed by Jennifer Barnes, Lance Haun & Laurie Ruettimann
HRMToday says: “HRM Today seeks to elevate the profession of Human Resources and increase media awareness of Human Resources through blogging, social networking, and aggressive use of other Web 2.0 technologies.”
Jenn Barnes has worked in human resources since 2001. She is the creator of the blog HR Wench, a popular destination for business professionals that want straight answers to their workplace dilemmas. She lives in Washington State.
