Hiring doesn’t have to be harder in a downturn
Earlier this week I came across a blog post by Auren Hoffman on his blog, Summation. In the post, Auren discusses why he thinks it’s actually harder to hire high-value employees during an economic downturn, especially, he points out, for those industries “reliant on innovation such as those in the tech space.”
And while I see Auren’s point about the noise going up, but the quality staying the same, I think he left out an important point about many of the people seeking jobs today. What about today’s new entrepreneurs? Pull your eyes over to Auren’s blog to see the comment I left on the post.
What’s your two cents?
Do you *get* Twitter?
I’ll admit it, when our PR people started going on (and on and on and on) about Twitter, I wasn’t sure what to think. Could Twitter be a valuable tool for my company. And if so, how?
I’ve since come around to the microblogging application, and I’ve seen first hand the power that it actually possesses, as well as the power it gives the people and businesses that have their hands in it.
Paul Gillin put together an easy guide for Twitter newbees, and I thought it would be a great article to share with you here on the blog. The post provides a strong overview of the application, and gives good insight to the endless possibilities that Twitter has for entrepreneurs. So have a look and Twitter away! Tweet tweet!
