RecruitingBlogs.com hits 20K members; Partners with Futurestep for Mexican Vacation Giveaway

Toronto, Ontario—Oct. 1, 2009--- RecruitingBlogs.com, the social network for recruiting and HR professionals, is about to hit 20,000 members, a true milestone for a network started three years ago. To celebrate the occasion, founder and CEO Jason Davis ha

“When we hit 10,000 members we gave away a trip to Jamaica, which the community loved,” said Davis. “This time we let our generous sponsors pick the location and it looks amazing.”

The contest, which will run over the course of October, asks recruiters and HR Professionals to submit what they see as their future in recruiting.

“The idea of ‘the future of recruiting’ has been done to death,” explained Davis. “What we want to hear is how recruiters and HR Professionals see themselves fitting into the larger picture of new HR Technology, advanced means of communication and all the changes that keep promising to change recruiting forever.”

The winner will be chosen by Ed Newman, who is both President of The Newman Group and Leader of Futurestep US.

"I'm pleased to be part of RecruitingBlogs.com's 20,000 Member blogging contest," said Newman Group President and Futurestep US Leader Ed Newman. "Much is being written about technology and the future of recruiting, but often the most important voice in the conversation is left out--that of the recruiter. If you're a recruiter, this is a great chance to share your own perspective."
