There are days like today that your daily dose makes up for my daily dose of recruiting insanity. On the flipside, I guess it is possible to provide help, insight and humor at the same time and at the same place. Your tips may actually help candidates sort out things - for example, that they should not use power point to create resumes. MyITRecruiter Of course it is valuable and appreciated.

My stats indicate that I had 2794 distinct readers last month. Now, certainly a chunk of that is the Googlebot and his contemporaries, but I'm sure that doesn't count for anything even close to 90% of my traffic. And I consider myself a B-lister at best in the Recruitosphere. Really? Only 200? My stats indicate that I had 2794 distinct readers last month.

I just learned a lesson from you. If you want someone to comment mention his name. Listen, if Jay-Dee Jason Davis had his way every recruiter would have a blog. Would that mean that they wouldn't derive benefit from reading eachother? Who else would read them? John's real question is: is our audience LIMITED to a few bloggers not including the wider recruiting community. My answer is yes. I suspect that there are no more than 200 regular readers of the Recruitosphere (just the blogs, not including Interiznet and ERE). Sure it’s valuable. I just learned a lesson from you.

One thing I would say in defense of those who - like me perhaps - go off on a tangent from time to time, if the technology worked it would be much less confusing. For example, if backtracking worked more often than not you could have gotten the context of my comment by going to my site and the post I wrote that talks to John Sumser’s ridiculous request for bloggers not to comment. That’s like saying chew but don’t swallow! Anyway, if you or your readers have an interest, take a look at my Tongue-tied post: http://recruitomatic.wordpress.com/2006/08/08/tongue-tied/ Keep up your exemplary work.

I love your blog. You make me think and you add value to my thought process about recruiting and what is important to employers and job seekers. Is that value diminished simply because I also choose to blog about my area of focus - I hope not. The truth is, even if NO ONE read my EXCELER8ion blog, it provides value to ME. My blog is where I flesh out my thoughts and better form my ideas about employment marketing and branding. So if it provides value to no one else - I am fine with that. If my posts make people think - then that is great. If readers actually choose to comment and help me develop and think through my ideas even more - well then that is sweetest butter-cream icing on the cake. Hi Tiffany. I love your blog.
