Top Four From the First Fifty

posted by 
Sarah Welstead (4)

Springtime brought sunshine, flowers and -- in our case -- a new blog. We launched on March 31st with these three posts.

Starting a new venture that can only be successful if people stay indoors to read it, is a pretty tough thing to do when the sun beckons everyone outdoors...especially here in Canada. On the other hand, it also gives us a few months to hone our techniques and find our audience of die-hard fans.

I am now writing our 50th post and wondering what we can do to better inspire discussion and interest in recruiting based on what's been successful so far. According to the number of comments received, these are the four posts you've liked best.

4. Everyone wants to know more about social networking sites. This post on user stats back in April attracted three comments.

3. According to the 5 comments our June Poll, you probably can lose a great candidate over a cup of coffee.

2.With six comments, a study about working 4 ten-hour days instead of 5 eight-hour days has us speculating about making cross-cultural analysis and if it is even possible to do so.

1. Flip-flops aren't just for politicians anymore. Our post on the topic garnered 11 comments and left us wondering if flip-flops are for anyone at all.

And, let's not forget that interactivity isn't just about comments. Our quiz for recruiters has now been taken 26 times.
