RSS stands for Real Simple Syndication, and the best explanation for it use is something like, Web surfing made as easy as checking your e-mail.
RSS Readers like FeedDemon (PC), NetNewsVine (Mac) and Bloglines (Web) allow you to select the sites that you normally read, and instead of typing in their url or using your book marks, you open your reader and read new material just like you would open your e-mail and read it in the morning.
So let's give RSS a new definition. Recruiters Succeeding at Staffing. The technical ideas behind RSS are unimportant, because a lot of programs (like blogs) create an RSS feed, which means all you have to worry about is content. So what kind of content would be useful to candidates that you have already interviewed?
Job Postings, Skills Training, Company Newsletter Information, Referral programs, and content on how to perform better in your job (business analysts, java programmers, salespeople).
If you are in St Louis, and looking to use the power of RSS to connect to a local technical community, you've come to the right place. E-mail me at the contact e-mail listed on the top right of this blog.
