Omaha Stylee Did Not Think There Was One - Maren Hogan Over On FOT

Juiced the title a bit here with a lyric from 311.  Maren Hogan, from Omaha, Nebraska, shows us a little of her Omaha Stylee today over at FOT.  Her post, Like Paris Hilton, You've Got To Work It To Be A Good Recruiter... gets into some interesting ideas around what sourcing and recruiting really are as well as what the perception of those concepts might be. 

An interesting discussion is starting to unfold with her post as well.  Of course, never without an opinion, I jumped into the comments and discussion myself. 

Maren is an up and coming recruiting professional who has a pretty diverse background outside of recruiting.  She is fun to talk to and fun to read (her blog is Big O Recruiting)because she hasn't been in recruiting forever and thus has some unique perspectives.  Because of her minimal recruiting industry experience it is also fun to watch her learn and grow in this space right before our very eyes.

By the way, I found an old school skater video using 311's Omaha Stylee as the backdrop music.  It is pretty funny and if you want to check it out it can be found after the jump.    

John Sumser On Recruiting Demographics

Joel Cheesman posts a video of recruiting legend and guru John Sumser over at recruitingblogs.com that is a much watch. 

John makes some rather pointed, yet pretty accurate, remarks about young people and recruiting in Cleveland and Detroit (I know they are accurate as I have led recruiting organizations in both cities) but more importantly he paints the picture of current demographics in recruiting very nicely.  Thanks to the Cheez for the great video!
