    Linkedin Talent Blog

    This article is about a technique I developed to update your entire Linkedin network about a new job opening, announcement, sales promotion, or other event by changing your job title. Linkedin likes this idea and asked me to write a post about it in anticipation of our appearance at Talent Connect 2012.

  • Craig Fisher listed among the 50 most game-changing influencers in recruitment by DevSkiller

    To be the best you have to learn from the best. That’s why we gathered a list of specialists in recruiting that you should listen to, who are worth your time. They are the people that change the ways of recruiting, finding new paths, streamlining recruitment process and squeezing out the most of recruiting funnels.

    On daily basis we focus on information for IT recruiters, but the mentioned specialists go far beyond it, being inspiration to the whole recruiting world.

    To be the best you have to learn from the best. That’s why we gathered a list of specialists in recruiting that you should listen to, who are worth your time. They are the people that change the ways of recruiting, finding new paths, streamlining recruitment process and squeezing out the most of recruiting funnels.

    On daily basis we focus on information for IT recruiters, but the mentioned specialists go far beyond it, being inspiration to the whole recruiting world.
    We’ve chosen influencers that are active not only on twitter but also share their knowledge in valuable articles or podcasts.

    This way you don’t have to “reinvent the wheel”. Use their advise, combine them all together and develop your perfect process of recruiting.

    We divided these 50 recruiting influencers into following groups:
    Generalists in recruiting,
    Commentators/editors/writers,
    Marketing recruitment,
    Social recruiting,
    Technical recruiting,
    HR technology.
    The influencers are ordered in certain groups according to the number of followers on twitter. As for the order of groups, we just liked it this way :-)

  • Interviewed by The Economist: Personal brand is more than your digital presence

    When you think about brand identity, what most frequently comes to mind will be a company logo, overall business reputation and the products associated with a business. Yet one of the most important brands you can focus on to support your company and your career is yourself.

    I consulted with Fisher VISTA's clients on brand visibility—helping them engage a broader audience with the right tactics and the right messages. Most often, I offered insights and ideas on things like social business strategy, HR influencer relations, employment branding, and content marketing.

    It's interesting to build highly visible platforms where people can find you and see your messages, put great content there, and then track your prospects and sponsors.

    It's interesting to build highly visible platforms where people can find you and see your messages, put great content there, and then track your prospects and sponsors.

    I'm fortunate to work with such a smart team of creative people, writers, account managers, PR and press relations experts, and content managers.

    Every day I discover new ways companies can achieve greater visibility to their market.

    Over the course of 4.5 hours, 24 Hour Fitness received marketing research suggestions for the improvement of their Social Recruiting program by nearly 100 practitioners & industry leaders. Participants received not only the same suggestions, but templates of the audit documents & step-by-step instructions on how to build the business case for program improvement to take back to their own organizations.

    This was the first of what will be an ongoing workshop offered for organizations looking to improve their programs & conferences that want to offer hands-on, cutting edge material to their attendees. For more information, please contact [email protected]
