Top 100 Influencers : Auren Hoffman, Darren Romano

Bodega Bay, CA—September 28, 2009--- RecruitingBlogs.com, the social network for recruiting and HR professionals, has partnered with John Sumser and his recruiting analysis company Two Color Hat to write and produce a series called the Top 100 Influencer

This past week John Sumser profiled Heidrik and Struggles Darren Romano:

“Darren Romano has had his fingers in the pie for a long time. With stints at TMP, Hudson-Highland, Korn Ferry and a stretch at an HR desk, Romano built his network through 25 years of search practice. He moves the movers and shakers in establishment HR.”

Also in the past week, Sumser profiled Rapleaf founder Auren Hoffman:

“There’s an explosion of tools that try to harness social media for recruiting purposes. One of the most interesting is something called Rapleaf. It’s the product of a guy named Auren Hoffman who is a serial entrepreneur in the Recruiting and Staffing Industry. He’s founded a fistful of companies and successfully sold them while building a cultural network with deep influence in valley political and cultural life.”

Next up for the Top 100: an automated Top 25 in various niche categories. “We’re figuring out an algorithm that will help us determine if influence is objective or subjective,” said Sumser. “Maybe both.”
