By nature it seems that the HR and Recruiting community is very social. We like to have a good time and sometimes we like to take those online connections offline at events, unconferences, or tweetups (twitter meetups).

Not too long ago I was inspired to create a directory of HR Bloggers. Below is the most current list of current Human Resources or HR Bloggers. This process has been amazing! What I did not anticipate is the number of great new people I have met and HR resources I have learned about during [...]

The recession in the UK has understandably made the HR job-seeker’s endeavour significantly more difficult than in times of plenty, but the current challenge appears to be even greater as a result of certain dubious and shoddy practices within the recruitment industry.
