This Thursday, May 22nd at 1PM EST, I will be conducting an interactive live webinar presentation for Kennedy Information titled: Emerging Tools, Techniques, Trends and Technologies for Recruiters and Internet Sourcers.

In this one hour webinar, I plan to cover:

• How to use news site online to find experts that lead to high value candidates
• How to build your own social network and the benefits of doing so (highlighting Ning and other emerging sites)
• Examples of automated sourcing and search tools that save you valuable time
• Live demonstrations of numerous internet sites designed for research and sourcing
• Emerging trends in recruiting media including text messaging, wikis, portals, podcasting, bookmarklets and microblogging

*I will have a valuable and very detailed HANDOUT for all attendees at the conclusion of the webinar that will detail all the sites covered in addition to more tips and techniques to put to good use.

Additional information on this webinar can be found here.

I wrote about Twitter in StaffBytes back in October of last year that I was “still trying to ‘get’ it”. I was a new user to Twitter at the time and was trying to get my arms around how Twitter could benefit recruiters and sourcers, not to mention what to do with it. After a few months of being on Twitter, I have turned into a Twitterholic. I love it!

I put together a short video recently on using Twitter and posted out on RecruitingBlogs. I wanted to extend this video to StaffBytes as well after receiving very positive feedback. Take time to check it out. There is lots of good Twitter coverage here. I think you will also “get” it after watching. In addition, check out Koka Sexton’s blog. I found a fantastic article there which runs through the in’s and out’s of Twitter and shows some very advanced techniques not covered in my video.
