Social Media Headhunter And Social Media Webinar

I'm running a webinar next week for the Human Capital Institute on using Social Media to recruit. I went through the technical rehearsal and my notes today, and can honestly say it's got some rocking information.

We have over 250 people signed up - which is a great start, but it's inspired me to do more in social media recruiting. I went and bought socialmediaheadhunter.com, a domain name that seems long until you realize that Harry Joiner, the marketingheadhunter.com, does very well when people around the US type in "Marketing Headhunter" into Google. Before my site is mapped, it's already number 3 on that list.

I'll be running it with a blog, and will be launching it to friends in the industry next week. Yes, this means I'm dipping my toes back into the recruiting waters. I envision the site, and the recruiting practice, to be part of Durbin Media. I train corporate bloggers and I execute social media plans, and most of the time the problem is a lack of personnel. It's a nice fit with our existing offerings.

More on this next week, but if you are in social media and want to work with a top-notch recruiter who understand the industry, or if you are a company looking to hire someone to run your social media campaigns, I'm going to be one of the few people in the country with the expertise to find you the right candidate. And you can find me at SocialMediaHeadhunter.com next week.

I wonder if there are any other social media recruiters out there, staffing firms or executive search firms that focus exclusively on bloggers, community managers, and social media marketers? I know there aren't any in St. Louis, which seems like a good bet for cornering the market early. More next week. Drop me a line if you're curious, or if you write about it. I'd be happy to reciprocal link people who helped me promote a site for hiring social media candidates.
