I was fairly new to the recruiting blogosphere when I discovered Recruiting.com for the first time a few years back, and once when I re-visited the site after not checking in for a bit was shocked to see an entirely new format. That change, of course, came after Recruiting.com was purchased by Jobster and signaled […]

In the world of Web 2.0, the “personal marketing” tool (web site) is one that serves a useful purpose, but perhaps has not yet come into its own.
