In this VLOG (Video Blog), Brian, your Inbound Recruiter Trainer, discusses a HOT TOPIC on blogosphere over the last few weeks... Agency vs. Corporate Recruiter. (Link to recent post)
After reading another "blog fight", I felt like I needed to cut a video with some viewpoints. There are some really UNHAPPY RECRUITERS on both sides of the fence, which is very sad, and I pray for those who feel like they need to "defend" their territory. (I have been there/not a good place to be)
I LOVE all recruiters, because we are in the trenches everyday, doing our best to solve problems. I personally choose the AGENT side (Business Owner) because the lifestyle it provides my family. (NO COMMUTES, NO POLITICS, NO BS, NO $$ LIMITS, etc.)
Bottom Line: Your going to DIE (return home) one day, so rather than try to prove why your "Recruiting Philosophies" are better, why not serve your customers or hiring managers instead?
So, I wanted to share this with you...
A LIFE LIVED THAT MATTERS
For each of us, it will one day come to an end.
There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days.
All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten will be passed to someone else.
Your fame, your wealth and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance.
It will not matter what you owned or owed.
Your grudges, frustrations and jealousy will finally disappear.
So to your hopes, ambitions, plans and to do lists will expire.
The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.
It will not matter where you came from, or what side of the tracks you lived.
At the end it won't matter if you are beautiful or brilliant.
Even your gender and skin color will be irrelevant.
So what will matter?
How will the value of your days be measured?
What will matter is not what you bought but what you built.
Not what you got but what you gave.
What will matter is not your success but your significance.
What will matter is not what you learned but what you taught.
What will matter is that every act of integrity, compassion, courage or sacrifice that empowered enriched or encouraged others to emulate your example.
What will matter is not your competence but your character.
What will matter is not how many people you knew but how many will feel a lasting loss when you are gone.
What will matter is not your memories but the memories that live in those that learned to love from you.
A life lived that matters is not of circumstance, but of choice.
What do you think? (Please feel free to comment)

In this VLOG (Video Blog) your Inbound Recruiter, Brian discusses the latest labor statistics.
Highlights:
* 200k new hires in December, 2011.
* 8.5 % Unemployment. (heading in good direction)
* Job market appears to be responding in first week/2012. (I am slammed)
* 8.75 Million jobs lost in last recession.

Is this favorable news, or a ploy for politicians to get traction (VOTES) in the election season? (Timing seems odd) What do you think?

In this VLOG (Video Blog), Brian, your Inbound Recruiter discusses success with email marketing/sales automation, and "sources" of candidates/clients that land on his web page, with facts to support his premise. (Money/results talk and bullshit walks)
Email Marketing Automation:
- Subject Lines: Must be compelling and use your "key words".
- How many emails sent to target/segmented list?
- How many emails opened? (We use infusionsoft)
- How many people clicked on a link? (Very important to drive traffic from email to your site for SEO)
- How many opted out of your list (Unsubscribe/opt-out link is required by law)
- Bounced emails (dead/invalid emails), Spam complaints etc.
Sources of Traffic:
- Organic search (key words): 2,708
- Referrals (ERE, Recruitingblogs, etc.): 1,106
- Direct Traffic (People specifically looking to find you): 12,374
- Email Marketing: I use Infusionsoft

4 placements this year so far using inbound recruiter principles in Social Media, with the help of HUBSPOT. (full lifecycle recruitment with client/candidates= I run my own desk)
I trust this has helped you understand this is "science", and not "art" have you not?
