Here is what is going on this week around the ERE.net world.

With the Columbus Holiday and the short week for many here in the States, there will be no webinar or Fordyce TV episode this week. However, a few things to check out:

• We just finalized the details for our 6th annual Recruiting Excellence Awards program, and we are now accepting applications. This is your chance to share how your recruiting success is helping your business — and in many cases furthering the recruiting profession. We are currently accepting applications in nine categories, and the winners will be announced at our annual gala ceremony & dinner in San Diego on March 15. Get all of the details and start your application at www.ereawards.com. Also, Todd Raphael has a copy of DaVita’s (successful!) application from last year. Shoot him an email at todd@ere.net if you want him to send it to you.
• Speaking of San Diego in March, the awards ceremony & dinner will be taking place in San Diego in conjunction with the 10th annual spring ERE Expo conference. This year’s event will feature a brand new speaker faculty, highlighted by several speakers who are making their ERE Expo speaking debut. And make sure to register by October 30, to take advantage of the $500 early bird discount.
• If you are looking for something sooner, we are just about 1/3 of the way to selling out the next #socialrecruiting summit taking place in New York City on November 16. If you are already using or considering using social media tools in your recruitment strategy, then join the conversation taking place at this one-of-a-kind recruiting industry event, the follow up to the first summit which sold out this past June. Find out all the information and reserve your spot today at http://socialrecruitingsummit.com.
