A people spotlight

Hey folks.  I have not blogged about my trip to Sourcecon in San Diego yet, but I'm going to use the work excuse.  Amazon is hiring and it's keeping me really really  busy (shameless plug I know, but it's true)!

On to business. Sourcecon had another great year and I promise to get my own little entry about it soon.  Following Sourcecon was the ERE conference and from what I have heard and watched on YouTube, it was a great conference as well.  I did not attend ERE, but had the opportunity to meet a wicked sharp and extremely funny Brand Manager by the name of Kat Drum.  Kat is a strong strong advocate for social media and employer branding, and from recent conversations, she really gets recruiting.

Starbucks happens to be down the street from Amazon (did I mention we are hiring? we are!)  and I have had the opportunity to do a little networking with Kat and a couple of her co-workers at Starbucks Recruiting who are really pushing their social media efforts and watching it pay off. If you and your company need a little motivation, a little guidance and even a little humor, you need to watch Kat's keynote presentation from ERE 2010 in San Diego.  Below is a shortened/highlighed 10 minute version.

Be sure to look for more from Kat and Starbucks as we roll through 2010!
