Web 2.0 organizing your hiring resources –Original publication 2008, update 2009A
Are you unemployed and looking for a position on every job board and social network under the sun?
Are you a company looking to brand and market your goods or services in online media?
Do you have so many resumes coming in that you don't know how or where they came from?
Are you seeking some talent for a niche job, and can't seem to get a pool of qualified candidates?
Are you on Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, and My Space all the time, but don't seem to get the nuggets and gems you truly need?
Well maybe it’s your Web 2.0 strategy, or lack of it. Information and Resource overload is a common problem in today’s world of email, twitter, and blackberry euphoria. I have a list of tips that have assisted me in my navigation that many of you have asked me to share. You can get the specifics of each resource from the horse’s mouth...I.e., Google has their tips for searching, LinkedIn has podcasts (recruiters listen for me on Bill Vicks podcast), etc...
However, if you are like me--and want it boiled down this might help:
1) Align your vision, values, and mission with your web plan. In short: What is the purpose of using Web 2.0 technology? and what are the preferences you have established to be viewed with or for?
Companies: Do you have values that you want reflected in everything your marketing dept. sales, or recruitment says online, or in distributed format? Do you want one story told or several?
Personal: Are you an individual or family? Do you want to be viewed by all, or just a small group? What do you want...are you the type of person whom wants to see everything in one place? Do you use the Web for communication only? Do you want to stick with an industry or a company or a product you have used in the past? Do you want to mix business with pleasure or keep it separate?
2) Plan, Budget and Purpose:• People: Are the people who need to be involved involved? If yes, then Plan what the goals are, and what resources really are preferred. Do you need to update or notify others?
• Budget of time, money and resources: What are you willing to spend, what have you already invested in, and what resources will take time?
• Process: Do you have people along the way to test the data, do the links work, and will the process catch failures? Have you planned for success in numbers; if volume of information comes in, have you planned for response, or filters? Does the flow of technology align to the use and the customer?
• Make sure the plan includes templates to disseminate information, and performance metrics that you can track to re-assess the plan in the future.
• Milestones and timelines should be set with metrics aligned i.e., the web analytics will track the hits to those jobs by resources and feed in monthly. Metrics will track and be available by week-end.
People and Audience should be included: Company: Is this important to IT, Marketing, Recruitment, Engineering, Customer feedback, Academia?
Business: Is this being used for freelance or contractual agreements? Some software licenses prevent business use, for applications, or groups formed with Web 2.0. Do you have all parties involved, accountant, lawyer...? Don't forget your customer or potential customer--can they find you?
Personal: Is this for yourself proclamation, entertainment, career? Are there parties that if you link to them it will expose private information or risk the wellbeing of data, or person?
Children: Plan for accessibility and controls.
3) Research and Investigate. Research different mediums, products and avenues of Web 2.0. Your goal is to learn the definition of the source, and understand how you can use them, and if they align to your mission and values. Also if there are products you need--i.e.) speakers or a microphone to use non-paying services. Is there already someone in your team, or company currently a member or using a resource? Can they filter data, or do you need to link directly? What are your options and what is the success rate.
4) Record Keep: Gather up hardcopy files of agreements with companies, or search engines. i.e., you pay for Monster and have a contract, or you are a member of an organization that shares its member list with Monster--make sure you know your agreements. Can you copy information, can you email it? If you have the information in hardcopy, keep it, but also scan it in so you can organize it in one folder, or location. i.e., If you post on Monster.com, make sure you know the title of what you posted, and the information released. REMEMBER Once you post electronically, it can be uncovered for much longer and is exposed to many more people than your lonely file cabinet. Make sure you understand the documents, agreements, and resources security and policies.
5) Contact and Track: Know the owner of your websites, administrative options internally, and externally know the addresses, posts, locations of all the information that may link, or gain access to the information i.e.) you have an association of marketing personnel--who is the contact, address, etc. Track the websites, or feeds in one location.
6) Organize: Look over your plan, and organize accordingly. Are you someone who checks email every day? Can you create templates and send them to multiple places with one link? Create filters, folders, and links that automate it for you. Plan to set aside hours in a week to re-organize as you share information. If it involves a Team, plan organizational meetings once weekly.
7) Assess, Trial, Test and User Groups:
Assess all the technologies regularly, reassess occasionally, and track the metrics, performance, and optimization weekly. Ask if there are demos of new products, and releases. Regroup with all levels of people involved and check that your Web 2.0 is still aligned and delivering to Plan.
8) Listen to your Pain. If something isn't working or is costing pain of resources, then re-think its use. Use what you use and get rid of what is not working. So many companies keep writing programs to amend a bad choice. However, the opportunity costs, and administration costs can be greater if tracked, then scraping a plan in its early trials. Work with your vendors or resources, and see what really is working, is it worth revamping? If you aren't using or updating a resource with ease, and regular changes. Then think about deleting it from the plan. If it’s impossible, then try coaching a few specialist within your team--or if it’s just you--then think about scheduling some training or reading time, to see if you can learn a shortcut.
9) People before Product.It is critical to any web 2.0 plan to make sure the people, resources, and customer are being serviced. You can have a dynamic website, but if no one gets back to customers in a timely fashion from those web postings then nothing will help you regain that customer appreciation. So make sure there are people along the way.
• Establish Relationships beyond technology; Keep human contact, if your system is automated and your voicemail is automated--make every effort to send a personal note, or call person to person monthly.
• Allow personal responses to be changed or addresses by administrators or contacts. i.e.) nothing bothers me more than getting a spam email addressed to Cindy at Networks, when my name is Susan. Allow your sales associate the freedom to say thank you...I know you love the Celtics so here is a link to our internal Celtics pride day.
• Human Responsiveness and Contact: Allow an out for a candidate, or a customer that isn't technology savvy. Think of the environment...if your customer is in India without a laptop, but has a cell phone call them, or allow them to dial 0 and get an operator. If your candidate is on a manufacturing line all day, with no access to a computer, mail them a response card.
10) Keep informed and Current:Read the information, metrics provided, Understand your customer base, Research new frontiers, and resources , and always know that it’s not what you have its how you use it.

QA Engineer in Southern CT
Hi All,
There are a couple of QA Engineering roles available for those with SQL talent and an interest for Fund Management or Investment banking. I'm sourcing and reviewing resumes for this role. Here are the specifics.
Qualifications:
Candidates need to be quick to understand concepts, break them into logical components.
Candidates will need to process diverse sets of information, filter the irrelevant content and reach reasonable conclusions based on the input.
Communication Ability-They must be able to articulate their views clearly and succinctly. Need to create documentation, procedures, etc. in clear, crisp English.
SQL Developer skills
o needs SQL . The individual needs to be able to do selects, joins, aggregate function and have the ability to apply CRUD functions.
General Dev skills
o Candidate needs to be able to read C# (ideally) or other OO code (Java, C++) to understand what the code is doing in order to write white box tests. They will need this to create boundary conditions tests (when code fails at the corner/extreme cases) or other cases that rely on knowing how the code works to test it. It uses an internal perspective of the system to design test cases based on internal structure. To be successful in writing white box tests, “programming” skills are required to identify all paths through the software.
o Although we do not require that the candidate codes, if they do not have the business experience (General FS knowledge) we will expect them to be able to write test scripts and/or test automation code.
QA Design aptitude (must have) but not necessarily direct QA experience
Need individuals who can combine their SQL, general development and architecture knowledge to provide complete test cases and drive high quality code.
Ability to construct logical test cases that break down the application/solution in a comprehensive manner to ensure full coverage. They need to write black box tests that take an external perspective of the test object to derive test cases. These tests can be functional or non-functional. They will need to holistically understand and drive how QA fits into all aspects of the software development lifecycle.
Business Knowledge (preferred)
It would be ideal to have candidates who have an understanding of financial products and experience in the financial services space. Within financial services, they are ideally looking for individuals who have knowledge of the fund management and/or investment banking space with global product exposure.

HR and Technology
The Boston Human Resources Council is having an evening event regarding Social Media, HR and Technology. I will be a panelist for the discussion in Cambridge on October 22, 2009. Please visit the website for more information; https://www.humanresourcescouncil.org
Social Media Tips
- Tip One: Decide! Do it, or decide not to do it. Don’t over think getting involved, learning about it, just start investigating today. If it is fear holding you back or lack of time, start one day at a time.
- Tip Two: Think and plan! Have a goal and stick to it.
- Tip Three: Research and Discover! Know what you want to use the resource for and the audience you want to develop or discover. Does that social media site operate in the manner you operate? i.e., What do you want to communicate, and to whom you want to communicate. Can the site target that audience and allow you to send that communication? If not don’t use it.
- Tip Four: Involve the stakeholders! It takes a village, and that village better have the heads up or it could turn into a disaster. Is management on board; how about marketing? See Tip Seven (7) be safe. Also think about others and diversify. Do you have a fairly senior user, as well as a non-technical person on your team that can add value? Have you thought about language and culture barriers? Do you have other ways to connect the message—in print, or audio? See Tip Nine (9).
- Tip Five: Get Organized! Whom is going to update, what is going to be delivered, where are the sites located, how often will you be monitoring, and how much money, time and effort will be used?
- Tip Six: Be Smart! You don’t have to be an expert, the tutorials and help on each of the sites can guide you through it. But make sure you know enough about the tools etc, to be sure you are adequately and safely posting information.
- Tip Seven: Be Safe! If you are using the sites for business, make sure you have set guidelines—think about whom you want speaking for your team, business or company. Can individuals post, or is it organized through a department. If using it for personal business make sure you follow safety guidelines and keep personal information private.
- Tip Eight: Make it easy and attainable! Are there resources that can automate the effort? Are you going to update once a week? Whatever fits with your goal and is attainable should be scheduled.
- Tip Nine: Think of Others! This is really about more than accessibility for all it’s also about thinking beyond what you know. Diversify! Make sure you are accessible. Plan what you can. Is there an application that can convert text or pictures into audio? Are you connected to networks that can support your employees, audience, and consumers? Are you connected to networks that are not aligned with your values?
- Tip Ten: Be True to yourself, business and values.

Social Networking Tip for Job Seekers
There has been many articles about using social networks while job searching. However, unless you are familiar with the sites, and have a plan , social networking can be confusing. Furthermore, you can actual do damage to your search.
Therefore, STOP BEFORE YOU enter that site!
Get Organized before Going Online. Ask the who, what, where, when and how.
What are you going to share, who are you going to share it with, how are you going display or communicate your true self on the site, or how are you going to contribute to the site, where is access most likely to be conducted, When will you update, or visit the site? Think about your personal brand, and also the brand of others you may be connected too.
Know what the site is intended for and How you can use it.
First step read and understand the agreement.
Do research on the site. I suggest actually reading the home page and clicking on the question or customer service section.
Is this site primarily for sales, can you link it to your company site, or past company sites?
Do external research on how the site operates, how it discloses or secures information. I suggest your local library for free tutorials, and workbooks with screen shots.
i.e., Linkedin is great for business connections, and professional interests if you use it well. However, facebook can be just as effective in a job search if you are already connected to people with similar interests.
Know yourself, and communicate that self in the way that best fits your purpose.
Ask Questions:
Does the site have free training? Are there resources that can walk you through a demo?
Does it provide links to actual company employees?
Can you protect your information and if yes, how do they secure that information?
Does it retain information other than what you would give out on a resume?
Can everyone access it, including former employers?
Can you get data and keep that data for your job search records? i.e., personal contact of a recruiter and company?
Next Step only after all others:
Join a social network or more than one only when you are comfortable. Find others that know how to use it and tap them for tutorials. Don't click away without knowing what you are doing.
Link your sites for automatic updates, only if you have a reason for doing so. If one site is your personal and the other professional--keep it that way.
