Weekend Reads for the Technically Minded Talent Acquisition Professional

There are a lot of great resources out there for talent acquisition professionals to become better at sourcing and engaging candidates online. I like to think that SourceCon is one of those great destinations. But what should you be reading beyond recruiting and sourcing blogs? Personally, I focus on a few different topics: online marketing, search engines, social media, and new technology startups. Gaining deeper knowledge in these key areas helps me to understand what other professions are doing with new technology so I can consider how these ideas and technologies could be used for recruiting purposes.

Here are some interesting posts I came across this week. Grab a cup of coffee over the weekend and enjoy.
