Recommended Blogs for HR & Recruiting Professionals

We’ve come a long way baby…

As usual, former Punk Rock HR blogger (and now HR and careers mogul) Laurie Ruettimann sums it up pretty well. Along with the Evil HR Lady, Kris Dunn and Lance Haun, Laurie was one of the first to open up online to share her experiences about what it’s like to exist in the world of HR.

Now, there are more HR and Recruiting blogs than you can shake a stick at. Some are all kinds of awesome, while others are still finding their way and seeking an audience that includes more than their Mom – and likely me.

I subscribe to a ton of blogs and newsfeeds by using Google Reader and although I read many HR & Recruiting-related blogs, I think it’s important to read blogs and news outside of the space as well. For example, I enjoy reading blogs that are focused on Marketing, PR, Social Media, Leadership, Employment Branding and Professional Speaking to help me be a more rounded business owner and professional and also to stay on top of best practices and case studies that could be useful in helping my clients.

In summary, A&E called, and they want me to appear on their new show – Hoarders: Buried Alive Under RSS Feeds…

But like a junkie who needs another fix, I’m always looking for new blogs to discover, new Bloggers to connect with and new ways of thinking, so I’d like to get your input on blogs that you would recommend that I check out in these categories:

Beginning My Journey

Wctboardwalkfootprints_5 “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step” – Lao Tzu

No matter what you do, you have to start somewhere. So I’m finally starting something new – my own Blog! I’ve been talking about doing it for months, and after getting bogged down while pondering domain names, blog titles/sub-titles, “about me” pages, etc. for too long now, it’s time to just jump in and get started! So here goes…

Through this process, I’m looking forward to learning more about myself and about the areas I’m interested in – and as a person who’s passion is “connecting”, I want to add another tool to my tool box for connecting with current relationships, new relationships and many of the people I admire and respect. On this blog, you can expect to find posts on topics I’m currently interested in or involved with professionally such as Recruiting, Coaching, Connecting, Talent Management, Human Resources, Leadership and Social Media/Social Networking (to name a few). I’ll be writing and sharing information targeted at the types of people that are my clients – businesses and business leaders who are looking to attract, recruit, retain and develop talent.

I hope you’ll learn from and enjoy the content, and that you’ll participate in this “conversation” with me by subscribing via RSS feed or email (see the boxes in the upper right corner of this page), and also by adding your comments to posts from time to time to let me know what you’re thinking, share questions, provide feedback and let me know that you’re out there!

One step taken. Many more ahead!
