If you are a sales professional or want to become one, or if you are looking for a new sales job, you will face one of the toughest interview processes of any job seeker.
Jason from The Talent Buzz posted this January 11. I love Twitter, and it’s an honor to be included with the other great recruiters on this list. Thanks, Jason!
It’s hard to believe it has been almost TWO years since my first tweet. Since then I’ve had the opportunity to meet a lot of great people inside and outside of my industry and profession, and publish a few blog posts on the topic. A few examples include:
- Using Twitter to Recruit, Discover a Career opportunity, or Network
- Using Twitter to Network and Find a Job
- Recruiting, Social Media, and Friends. Twitter Rocks!
Looking back the growth of twitter has been astounding. In April of 2009, there were 1.5 billion tweets. 9 months later (as I write this) there are 7.6 billion tweets and counting.
Last February (2009) there were Nine hundred profiles with the word “recruiter”. Fast forward TWO months to April and it grew to 3,900. Today there are Ten,372! There are also over Fifteen,000 social media “experts” in case you hadn’t heard…
So with over 10,000 people with the word recruiter in their profile, who should you follow?
I’d start with the 25 most influential recruiters on twitter, according to wefollow. They include:
- Shally Steckerl – @shally
- Irina Shamaeva – @braingain
- Glen Cathey – @BooleanBlackBlt
- AIRS – @AIRSTraining
- Steven Rothberg – @StevenRothberg
- Jennifer McClure – @CincyRecruiter
- Jerry Albright – @Jerry_Albright
- Geoff Peterson – @GeoffPeterson
- Stephanie Lloyd – @StephanieALloyd
- Paul DeBettignies – @MNHeadhunter
- Craig Fisher – @Fishdogs
- Michael Long – @theredrecruiter
- Ryan Leary – @ryanleary
- Jim Durbin – @smheadhunter
- Shannon Myers – @slcmyers
- Sarah Peacey – @RecruitingTruth
- Nikki G – @Recruitnik
- Todd Kmiec – @toddkmiec
- Dawn Mular – @DMular
- Jeff Lipschultz – @JLipschultz
- Rick Deare – @RickDeare
- Peggy McKee – @salesrecruiter
- Bruce – @RecruiterBruce
- David Graziano – @DavidGraziano
- Darryl Dioso – @DarrylRMSG
Sure, one could argue the other 9,000 recruiters haven’t registered their profile on wefollow (that’s their fault) or have chosen a different tag than recruiter. Either way, you’ll be in great company with those 25 tweeps.
