I subscribe to a few groups run by Vincent Wright that deal mostly with the LinkedIn community, but give great insight into Social Networks and recruiting in general. There are alot of staffing people out on his lists and I encourage you to take a look at his profile and sign-up for his lists. Lots to learn there. Speaking of which, I saved a post to the group from back in July to put up specifically on StaffBytes. This list talks about social networking places and how there are at least 99 of them identified by the group. I repeat…99! That is a ton of networking potential for recruiters and sourcers. And you thought that LinkedIn was the only one out there didn’t you?
