Ask a kid, I loved my legos. The plain white box with assorted colors of plain shapes...one step up from playing with rocks but I sure did like them. I tell my kids when they want a Nintendo DS, "Hey..I played in the dirt."
If you have been to a Toys 'R Us lately, you'll see that Legos has come a long way in choices...and in price.
One why they have done that is by developing their fan base. Jake McKee has played a pivotal role in the social media aspect of building and developing that community. Jake says, "Markets are conversations." Could this also be true for employment branding and community building?
CRM for Corporate Recruiting & Relationship Management
I have a CRM model built and customized for sourcing and recruiting for medium to large sized employers. Built on the Salesforce.com platform, I've worked with such companies as Electronic Arts, Deloitte, MGM Mirage, Genentech, Dolby, & SNC Lavalin.
CRM Program Management for Campus Recruiting
Also built on the Salesforce.com platform and combined with the my regular corporate recruiting model, this application has always had great traction and success with employers that used it to track and engage universitie accross the country.
Succession Planning
Recruiters and HR oftern "recruit and promote" from within. This CRM application lets you track and recruit your internal hires and career development. Packaged within the same CRM application as the Sourcing/Recruiting model and the Campus Recruiting model, it ties all recruiting and hiring into one managed and shared program.
Social Media ATS Auditing
Ever wonder if people in your ATS (Applicant Tracking System) were also on LinkedIn.com or if they used Twitter.com? I perform "ad hoc" audits of ATS systems and find those who are and who are not on these two social media sites. For example, its great practice to connect with all your Silver Medalists on LinkedIn to continue to nurture that relationship.
LinkedIn.com Groups Building
Does your company have a presence on LinkedIn.com? They should because that is where the talent is. I can help your company create/build/manage that presence on LinkedIn.com.

He was extremely knowledgeable of the system and he was infinitely patient with me as I learned to navigate my way.
I also experienced Sean to be every effective in troubleshooting and resolving problems which were identified as our group became more sophisticated users. I was very appreciative of Sean in his role during that time. Overall Sean was a great resource and quite wonderful to work with."

Life is Local is a philosophy that, although online networking is great, most relationships grow to a meaningful level when we physically interact with others. I'm the first to say basic "networking events" absolutely suck. So, each"Life is Local" group is based upon common location and a common interest.
