LINKEDIN - NBC REPORT  Seattle fan PJ LeDorze gave his Sherman jersey to 13-year-old Austin after the boy and his father, Tim McElravy, both die-hard Packers fans, were in the stands surrounded by jubilant Seahawks fans after Seattle beat Green Bay 28-22 to advance to the Super Bowl, NBC station KING 5 reported. "At the end of the game my son congratulated him on a great game and PJ took off his Sherman Super Bowl Jersey and GAVE it to my son. We were moved to tears," Tim McElravy wrote to the station in a bid to connect with LeDorze. LeDorze told NBC News that Sherman’s people reached out to him Tuesday with the offer of a swag bag of fan gear. The 35-year-old corporate recruiter for Amazon, who rides horses competitively in his spare time, described himself as "just an average guy" but said he was overwhelmed by the attention his act has received. He was at the game with his cousin, who has two season tickets, and had been chatting up the McElravys throughout the game. When Austin gave him a hug after the win, "it really moved me," LeDorze said.

Writing Desktop and Web based applications Developing social media strategies Providing documentation for social media success Automating time consuming processes Aggregating recruitment processes Supporting the recruitment and sourcing teams of various clients Redesigning the Sourcing Center of Excellence

@GUTMACH -- LINKEDIN:  I've strategized and operationalized talent sourcing systems, customized tools, and trained sourcing teams to build candidate pipelines in multiyear, full-time roles at 4 multibillion-dollar companies. I enjoy building domestic and offshore sourcing teams and quickly getting them up to speed, motivating them to learn new and better ways of doing things, and create their own centers of excellence to put them into practice, refining and reinforcing what they learn to take themselves to another level. I create other sourcing systems that scale: datamining hidden gold in your ATS or CRM; thematically-coordinated email and social campaigns on a cadence; content best practices in job postings, emails and inmails; systematic online name-gen against competitors by titles, companies, directories, etc. I address the productivity gap space between typical daily sourcing activity and robust purchased third party tools - i.e., while I don't claim to be a full-fledged programmer, I know enough coding to create custom bookmarklets, Excel VBA macros, web scraping, and other JavaScript-based web interfaces to save time across a team, but with enough flexibility built-in to be individually useful, and clearly explain to end-users how to benefit from them. I do detailed, informed evaluation of new third party tools, as someone who gets the full sourcing cycle, and can serve as the interface between end-users and vendor developers to recommend/direct functional specification improvements to meet actual needs.

Call in today and shoot the breeze with your peers. It's fun.

Maybe you're currently a recruiter, working in corporate, agency or H.R and know you can do SO much better. Maybe you're a savvy entrepreneur that's ready to build something big. In either case, are you sick of seeing your potential go to waste, working for a large firm or an agency where you make them millions but take home nothing? If any of this is true for you, you're in the right spot and I'll tell you why. 85% of Recruiters, H.R personnel & Talent Acquisition Professionals want to go solo, create their own agency, get their own clients and make 100% of their fees. The downside is, you're probably stuck. Stuck in a position using old school techniques, stuck working somewhere you don't enjoy, for someone else.... just to keep the paychecks coming, stuck THINKING, that none of this can change. If Aerotek, Tek-Systems, Robert Half, Adecco, Kelly Services and other agencies have YOU call clients for them AND fill those positions for them.....why shouldn't you take 100% of your fees..? I left a corporate tele-sales job, 5 years ago to start my own recruiting agency. I made my first $100,000 in 6 months and scaled upwards ever since. How did I do it?

@AERCollections -- LINKEDIN:  Our firm has processed over one billion dollars of staffing and recruiting debt for more than 3000 staffing and recruiting firms globally.  We collect 84.17% of the time in house but if suit is needed then we have our network of 70 attorneys that have litigated over 7500 cases and our clients have prevailed in a staggering 91% of those cases.  We are also one of the very few firms that have an attorney on staff that oversees our day to day collection activities and personally engages on the accounts that need attorney involvement to help get the issue resolved. I talk to most new clients to see if our services are needed and what they could do prior to getting my firm involved. If I have a schedule conflict, my Staff Attorney will meet with you on my behalf. You will NEVER be passed off to a sales rep.

@AnthonyCaputi  -- LINKEDIN:  Working on retainer, I provide a consultative approach to recruiting. Consider what could take your job satisfaction, professional growth and impact on a business to the next level? ★ A company with a different vision and strategy? ★ A better manager and workplace culture? ★ A role with objectives that fit you better? Perhaps it's time to explore a new avenue. Here's how we can work together in three simple steps: ➀ We're going to have a call where we assess your job situation and professional goals. ➁ If it makes sense, we’ll have a conversation to explore the fit of a particular job opportunity. ➂ If everything looks good, I will guide you through a company’s hiring process. When people who are competent, compatible and complementary join together, everybody wins. If it's important to be in a role and on a team that enables you to achieve your best results, let's talk.
