April 2010 in Links

by TheSourceress on May 10, 2010

Here is the month of April presented in links for you to explore. Hope you find something interesting.

Sourcing & Recruitment

I attended the Social Media in Recruitment event on Thursday 22nd April at the British Library. The event was outstanding. Well done to @MikeETaylor and his team for putting on such a fantastic event. You can read lots of great write ups on it from the likes of Louise Triance and some feedback from the delegates (including me) over on the topbananas blog.

Remember to sign up for the UK Recruiter Networking Event on 10th June
