It’s been two weeks now and things are starting to slow down enough at the new gig that I can see what I need to work on. I’m shedding old habits from recruiting locally for underpaying temp jobs and starting to grasp this whole nationwide high end technical IT sourcing concept.
I have been handed over 40 reqs [open job orders] spanning the country. Oracle and SQL Server DBAs; IT Business Process Analysts [PMP]; Tivoli Storage Managers; Systems and Software Engineers; UX Designers; Application Software Developers; Java/J2EE Developers; Mobile App Developers; PeopleSoft Federal HRMS Developers; Sr. SharePoint Developers; everything but photofinishing developers [that was a past life of mine]. Chicago, Brooklyn, Boca Raton, Austin, Columbus, Herndon, Raleigh, Monterey, Auburn Hills, St. Louis, Lansing, Clearfield, Jacksonville, San Diego, Miami — thank goodness I passed 8th grade U.S. Geography class!

So, if you are an IT professional; if you know any IT professionals; if you know someone who may know someone who’s an IT professional — send me their resume! And then be sure to connect with me on LinkedIn where I also will post openings.
Some [but nowhere close to most] of the positions I’m recruiting for I post on another blog. Unless someone visits the site everyday, I recommend just subscribing to the newsletter by clicking the link to the right.
Please do email/forward this to everyone you know. If you don’t know anyone in IT then perhaps your people do. Though I won’t be able to contact everyone, it sure helps to have their resume before their ideal job becomes open and I’m already sourcing people from the job boards.
Social media is slowing becoming the preferred method to communicate. We used to call each other. Then we sent emails. We text way more than we talk now, but Facebook and Twitter has created the most efficient way to echo our inner thoughts to any in the world 24 hours a day.
Ok, maybe I wasn’t being fair when I said people who apply for jobs online are being lazy. My friend Kathy brought it to my attention, mentioning that even when you do get out the pad and attend a job fair, companies say, “go to the website and apply online.” And then don’t let it be one of those online applications that takes about an hour to fill out!
