The G-Recruiters’ Dashboard is custom configuration of Google products and services along with other online tools like Mozilla’s Firefox browser and various extensions. It is designed to help recruiters improve their personal productivity and/or replace conventional recruiting software and applications.

The G-Recruiters’ Forum is where people can share their questions, experiences and suggestions about the recruiting tools and techniques that accompany the Google-enabled applications showcased in  BROWN BAG RECRUITER training.

I’m not sure who else has accepted his invitation but the list of people Michael shared with me is impressive. So too are his plans for a new site: CloudRecruiting.net. All good stuff.

Michael and I have been exchanging notes on a variety of topics surrounding recruiting and emerging technologies since the Spring.  We finally shared some time in person at the recent SourceCon 2008 where Michael was undoubtedly the star of the show:

“At SourceCon 2008 Michael was among the top-rated speakers. His unique delivery of Sourcing Beyond Recruiting 2.0: The Emergence of Cloud Recruiting resonated with his audience on many levels. For professionals who live and die by understanding how to effectively leverage the latest technology to gain competitive advantage — Michael’s presentation was life-affirming.”

Stay posted. Michael and I will be hatching some plans in the next year or so including some joint ventures on the training front.

Take a look…

The purpose of the group is simple:

South Florida Metro Recruiters is a new group for recruiters in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties and their friends, wherever they are. It is a place to share and network in person and online.

Our purpose is to facilitate networking, support, education and community among recruiters in the South Florida metro and surrounding areas.

We seek to contribute to the wellbeing of our of local economy and to profit those who are involved in staffing for our local government, industry and commerce.

We want to do all this and have fun at the same time.

If you are a local recruiter, staffing professional or HR practitioner consider getting involved.

Check out the site and follow our progress: South Florida Metro Recruiters.

RecruitingBlogs.com is social network started by Jason Davis. The community has been growing at a good clip in recent months. At 4500 members the site is set for exponential growth. The decision to add an editorial anchor each day is a strategic move designed to add value for the site’s users.

Jason Davis and I first met a couple of years ago when he was involved with Recruiting.com as one of the founders. Recruiting.com was a prototype of sorts for the community being built on RecruitingBlogs.com. Since then we have talked about collaborating on a number of projects. This one promises to be really exciting.

The daily lineup includes a mix of personalities and topics:

• Mondays: Mendoza’s Monday Member Showcase: Dave Mendoza talks with one of our members
• Tuesdays: Tutorial Tuesday: Teaching something, learning something
• Wednesdays: Claudia’s Wednesday Wisdom: Claudia Faust advises on tricky situations, answers members questions
• Thursdays: The Recruiting Animal’s Morning After Show: On Wednesdays he barks, on Thursday he bites!
• Fridays: TGIS (Thank Goodness, its Sumser!): John Sumser unravels the world of recruiting and puts it back together again
• Weekends: That was the week that was: Ami G’s round-up of the week’s group blogs and posts.

Stay tuned, it should be fun!
