I recently noticed Max Heywood running a little side project under the tag #socialfootprint (with both Facebook and Twitter streams!). Many I know take stock of their differing social presences from time to time – Max went one step further with his social footprint and reached out to his network looking for comparison data points. ...

Mike Taylor has been running the Social Media in Recruitment (SMIR) event for five years now – it’s maintained a steady slot in the calendar and I’ve attended, exhibited and reported from it in the past! The event continues to evolve as time passes, this year showing a stronger focus than ever on mobile tech and ...

There are a ton of resources available to guide job seekers on the core parts of personal branding – so those really looking to differentiate will have to push further still. Newsjacking has ...

The team behind HRTechEurope have been making a big splash over the last couple of years, with that event going from strength to strength. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed taking part on the blog squad there previously – mostly live-tweeting the event itself but also writing up a handful of short posts. This year sees the launch ...

Startups need to be as careful with the cash flow as possible. We all understand that and with the work I’ve been doing over the past few years I’ve seen this from so many different angles. However, I’m starting to feel there’s an area here that warrants deeper examination. When kicking off a new venture, ...

For those developing sites or trying to speed up their own blog, or just generally if you find your Chrome performance sometimes starts to suffer, this little plugin might prove really helpful. It’s been developed as a free utility by Andy Young, also the smarts behind the Selective Tweets app for Facebook. This Chrome plugin takes ...

There are regularly articles on new Twitter clients, new features and usage stats – but the landscape moves so fast, they’re out of date in a month or two. I’ve just found a little page which monitors a sample of tweets going out in real-time and maps the source client. If you need a quick ...

Ever wondered what technology stacks power some of the world’s most successful start-ups? It’s now easier than ever to examine these sites, both for tech stacks and for other details. Two such services have caught my eye recently. First, LeanStack. It’s by far the prettier of the two services and provides a wider view of ...

Last week I wrote about a research project from Autodesk, where the research labs are looking at visualising organisational change. The original post can be seen here, along with the visual version of Autodesk’s own personnel changes. I’m pleased to report the scientist behind the project contacted me in response to the post and has ...

Earlier today I was participating in and live tweeting from the Reconverse discussion on Recruitment Technology. A full write-up will appear on the Reconverse site soon, but I wanted to delve deeper into one particular aspect – that of the video interview. There have been a number of tools coming to market over the last ...

LinkedIn endorsements have been around a while now. The little box asking whether someone has certain skills has become familiar and there’s been much debate about whether they add value. There are also aspects of interpretation which need to be considered. First up though, my thoughts having seen them settle in a little: I think ...

I was lucky enough to attend the Chinwag Psych event last week – a new event bringing together psychology, neuroscience, web usability, big data and much else besides. I can’t recommend it highly enough and I’ll no doubt be writing up more of my thoughts in the near future. For now though, I wanted to share ...

I’ve argued for a long time that unique content is highly valuable. It’s why many companies now run blogs. I’ve also argued on many occasions that the context in which that information is delivered is just as important, if not more so. I believe both of these things have huge value in the digitally connected world ...

I wrote previously about my move to a self-hosted blog – which means I’ve been tinkering much more with the guts of WordPress, the theme, the plug-ins etc. While solving a few issues, I’ve needed to find out which browser I’m using, which version, whether JavaScript is running, etc. If you run a self-host blog, ...

Things change in the social world. Connections can be broken, photos deleted, tweets taken down and so on. I blogged recently about Twitter’s new service allowing you to download your entire archive – but it pulls tweets only, and there’s more to your activity than that. I wondered if there was a better way of ...

I wrote a post over the weekend looking at the difference between share options in the UK and the US. Judging by the comments, I wasn’t too far off the mark. One comment also included a video link sharing research done in the US and India as to what motivates – and how financial incentives ...

Something I heard last week has really stuck with me. It concerns the motivation and rewarding of staff via share options. The stated view was that this mechanism was far more effective for Talent Acquisition in the US than in the UK – the view coming from the Founder and CEO of a very successful ...

In a few short steps, you can request it from Twitter’s site and have a download link emailed to you. Save that ZIP file, you have an HTML ...
