Are you facing trouble with your recruitment procedure? If yes then what have you though to rectify it? Recruiting candidates is not important. Important is to recruit good employees. A recruitment procedure might consume months of resume scrutinizing. Thus wastage of time, money and resources.

Hey…What happened to that LinkedIn App you posted? Check it out…
A few days ago we posted a review on a new app that allows users to mass email the results of their search on LinkedIn. The posting received an overwhleming response and alot of our readers found some value in the
app. In the posting (Which is now removed) we asked that you use this tool at your own discretion and encouraged you to evaluate the tool prior to using it as it walked a fine line to violating LinkedIn’s policy on using 3rd party apps.
We spoke with the app’s creators directly to learn about the app and their roadmap and we were subsequently approached by the privacy team at LinkedIn and asked to remove the post and video as it vilotes their terms of service.
In good faith we removed the posting but understand that it’s our duty to bring unbiased reviews and that is what we will continue to do.
Here are some other LinkedIn Tutorials and articles that we can recommend:

This job was more of what her experience was in line with and frankly timing was everything. She wanted the job, or at least the interview. The client contacted me (don’t you love when that happens?) to say “tell me she is available, they board asked for her when they created the position!” So, I called her, she was interested, and they talked to her on the phone.
The local radio station airs a commercial for a weight loss program whose slogan is, “How bad do you want to look good?” Since I’m not particularly concerned about weight loss, I have no idea whether or not this product can produce the results that are advertised. However, their slogan does present an interesting question about personal motivation; a question that I have asked recruiters, consultants, managers, and staff throughout our industry: “How bad do you want to be good?”
I just read a great article that begins to highlight something that I hear very few recruiters talk about. The lack of effectiveness of resumes.
The recession has hit most working Americans in the pocketbook, but some industries have been hit much harder than others. Construction, sales, real estate, and finance were hit hard by the real estate bust; for those lucky enough to hold on to their jobs at all, commissions have dwindled and hourly pay and workload have diminished. But there are some lucky sectors where the pay virtually never dips. Read on to find out which workers have the most recession-proof salaries.
