Blog Post: Recruiters - Stay Informed with Blogs and Forums

With the proliferation of information and technology it has become your professional responsibility to stay informed.  Do you know how the economic stimulus plan affects H1 visas or COBRA coverage?  Which applicant tracking program do other recruiters really like? 

Previously we relied on our education, books and colleagues when there was a subject for which we needed more information.  Now, we can just type our question/subject into an online search engine and get everything we need.  But…don’t just wait until questions come up.  Find a couple blogs that you enjoy and are relevant to your specific field.  Check them out each morning while you sip your coffee.  I liken it to watching the nightly local news before you go to bed.  Sign up for notification emails and newsletters.  

A few of my favorites include www.recruitingblogs.com, www.cheezhead.com, and www.renegadehr.net.  Search on your own and find a few you like.  Enjoy!
