Recruiting Daily announced today that it has agreed to acquire RecruitingBlogs.com, the social network for recruiters and HR professionals, for $95,000. Following the acquisition, RecruitingBlogs.com will continue to operate as it does today to preserve its brand identity and its loyal community of bloggers and recruiting professionals.
“Our brands share similar values so by joining forces with RecruitingBlogs.com, we can benefit from its reach and influence among recruiting professionals and create an integrated experience for our combined communities,” said Noel Cocca, Co-Founder of RecruitingDaily.com.
“Growing the RecruitingBlogs.com community over the past four years has been a tremendous experience,” said Jason Davis, founder of RecruitingBlogs.com. “I’m confident that Recruiting Daily has the resources needed to maintain our community so it continues to be the top online destination for the recruiting industry.”
Once the acquisition is complete, Davis will be working closely with Recruiting Daily to ensure a smooth transition for the RecruitingBlogs.com community.
About RecruitingDaily.com
Recruiting Daily (RD) provides an inside look into today’s recruiting world. The site is a centralized resource for recruiting tips, product reviews and industry news.
RD is managed by Noel Cocca and Tim Spagnola whose combined experience spans 20+ years with physician, executive and healthcare recruitment. Both have desk experience with small and large firms and have managed, hired and trained recruiters from all professional backgrounds.
About RecruitingBlogs.com
RecruitingBlogs.com was founded in 2007 and is a social network for recruiters and HR professionals with over 28,000 members and over 17,000 blog posts and forum discussions. Its global online network provides recruiters with a forum to share, interact and collaborate with one another.
It is with great pleasure that I write this next short post. Tim Spagnola, Recruiting Daily, and I have purchased Recruitingblogs.com. We started with a simple plan for a simple blog and found that the impending sale of Recruitingblogs.com was too good an opportunity to pass up. Jason Davis’ creation is a pay it forward type site, and we thought it meshed well with our philosophy: Give as much as you can and the rest will take care of itself. Our goal is to protect the integrity of the network and community at Recruitingblogs.com. The site is the membership, as is any community, and we want to protect it. – Noel Cocca
We have been fortunate enough since the launch of RecruitingDaily.com to meet some amazing people in the recruiting/HR world. It is a reflection of those relationships that allowed us to see the real value in the community of Recruitingblogs.com. We had numerous conversations with Jason to better understand his original vision, and feel we are in a great position to add to that vision and see the community continue to grow.
Recruitingblogs.com is a place for recruiting professionals to exchange ideas, opinions, and news about our industry. We have no plans to change any of that. The final details of the transaction will take a few more days, but we want to introduce ourselves to the RB community.
We also wanted to extend an open door policy to all of you to feel free to reach out to us. We want to know the things you like, don’t like, and ideas you might have to improve the RB experience.
So a special thanks once again to Jason for what he created and to all the members of this community for giving it life. – Tim Spagnola
More to come…………..
I recently interviewed two executives for stories in Life Science Leader magazine. Both had something in common to which they attribute their success – surrounding themselves with top talent. How do they do it? Believe it or not, some of this comes down to the personal connection, or as I like to say, one’s “gut feel.” When I was a hiring manager in the pharmaceutical industry, I tried to find people that had the “It” factor.
During the downturn, you likely worked hard to keep your best performers on board. Now that conditions are improving, your retention efforts are even more vital, especially for top talent.
