An email inbox flooding service whose sole purpose in life is to remind me that a guy I went to high school with would like me to join LinkedIn so he can spam everyone I’ve ever met. As reported first here on StaffingTalk , the worse-than-Myspace pathetic spam trap that bombards you with authentic-seeming email solicitations and connections from people you don’t know – and don’t want to know – otherwise known as LinkedIn sucks.

How do we capture the appropriate information that will assist us to make an informed decision for each type of hire?

With today being the opening salvo by Microsoft in its effort to reenter the mobile device market that has devoured many rivals and left only Apple with its iconic iPad and iPhone and Google with its supposedly open Android standing, we recruiters who hoped for at least some respite from constant change are once again having to reassess trends in mobile recruitment and remake purchasing plans for both devices and the infrastructure we need to bring it all together on the enterprise front.

Don’t look now but the French government is making noises about pulling the rug out from under the very common practice of looking the other way when healthcare workers, particularly nurses, take on extra shifts at neighboring hospitals and clinics. According to a government report released this last week, almost 5% of nurses and medical technicians are heavy into double-dipping (‘cumulards’, they’re called).

Microsoft has so thoroughly botched the message around Windows8 that I’ve been tempted to ignore it and seriously discouraged from writing about it, yet as you can see in the video attached that I’m also in awe of it as a platform for future staffing interfaces like scheduling nurses, restaurant workers or home health aides.

You help people get jobs, right? Most of us are comfortable with the notion of finding jobs, posting jobs, finding the right people to fill particular jobs and so on.
