Using Blogs To Hire Wireless Employees

If I told you to imagine a site called Wirelessjobs.com, you'd probably think it was a job board for the Cell Phone industry.

You'd almost be right.  It's actually the blog of Dennis Smith, the favorite of many recruiting bloggers, who writes on the issues of the wireless industry, and by the way posts jobs and hires people from that.

Dennis has a telling interview with Jason Davis where he says he gets several resumes a week off the blog, and has hired two people for his firm since November.

I joined WorldLink in November, and have made two hires from resumes that came to me directly from WirelessJobs.com.

JD:  Are you kidding?

Me:  No.

JD: Geez, that's excellent!  You need to blog about that!

Me:  Yeah, I know...I've been so busy I haven't been able to dedicate much time to the blog.

JD: Wow.  Do you get resumes every day from the site?

Me: Oh yeah. In fact, so many, that lately it's been difficult to connect with all of them as quickly as usual. But I'm not complaining. My primary goal, when I started blogging, was to use the blog as a tool to connect with the people that are important to me - people that are interested in the wireless industry (whether involved in active job search or not).

You can't argue with progress, my friends.
