Trulondon_imgClick the TRU image to buy a ticket

I didn't attend the first TRU London but have attended them ever since and this year will be my third. TRU events have been memorable for me and I am hoping this year will be even better again; two years on there has been a lot of change! I also intend to turn up this time to run my track on the second day! So if you have some views on mobile job applications be there on Thursday 23rd February 2012. In usual TRU style no one knows what time the track will be!

Why I'm not drinking the mobile recruiting kool aid.....

Mobile-recruiting-medium
(Image taken from Cloud Recruiting)

I am very mobile, so much so that I use my phone probably more than my laptop - to go online, send e-mail, find information, text my kids, do the Tesco shopping and more. I occasionally make phone calls as well. So although I use my mobile for pretty much everything I'm not yet buying into just mobile like some other people are. Although I am in other ways. Confused? Please read on.....

Facebook, Twitter, Google and even Talent Communities; it's all about the data!

Minorityreport
Thing is, we probably all know this yet, when we talk talent communities of any kind we get all hot under the collar about the conversations, engagement, employer brand blah blah blah. But, we do actually need all these conversations to take place, photos to be uploaded, friends to be found because every action, every conversation, every like - counts. It counts for advertisers which is where Facebook make (some of) their money. But there will be a bigger picture as to how Facebook monetise all of this information; but that's nothing new. For talent communities we need to be thinking much further ahead about the real goal.

Taleo acquire Jobpartners

Anotheronebitesthedust

It really was only a matter of time before Jobpartners were acquired but is this such a sweet deal for Taleo or will they find out the hard way why Jobpartners stayed single for so long? They acquired Vurv what feels like eons ago and that was a difficult integration but Jobpartners is a very different beast to tame.

Linkedin apply button; much ado about nothing.....

Muchado

Interesting that Linkedin announce this yet to be confirmed game changing apply button so soon after their IPO. But is it a great idea, set to change the world of recuitment or is it just a bit of hype with little or no substance? Is it yet more of the post-IPO love affair where both parties make little sense because they can see no wrong in their perfect little world?

Lumesse US Summit - and a great time in Austin, Texas

This week I've been in Austin, Texas attending the Lumesse US Summit. Apart from the fantastic weather, great food and wild, wild nightlife the Lumesse people in Austin put together a great few days. But, what happened and why was I there? Here's a little snippet on the theme of my little slot; my specially made video entitled "How the game of work has changed".

Lumesse rebrand: but what do the employees really think?

Lumesse logoSo this week has seen the final days of Stepstone Solutions and the welcome of Lumesse. As you may know, I was in Luton for the offical launch of the new brand and it was of course a great day for all involved. But, what about the people at the sharp end? What did they really think?
