Recommended Reading

 

Selling to VITO - http://www.sellingtovito.com/

 

 

ER Daily. If you can read only one electronic newsletter about recruiting, this would be it. It's been around forever and it gets better every year. Rather than quick stories, it instead focuses on in-depth "how to" and strategy articles. This one attracts the best writers in the industry. David Manaster and Jim Dalton produce a can't miss read...every day. Incidentally, you can catch my articles every Monday morning.

RecruitNews. Produced by the top-notch people at AIRS, RecruitNews lots of headlines as well as data and surveys related to recruiting and diversity.

Electronic Recruiting News. This one is a classic from John Sumser, a high frequency newsletter with opinions as well as numerous links to white papers and other articles. It has eclectic features like recommended books to read.

Staffing.org Update. Nick Burkholder's team puts out top-notch information related to recruiting metrics. Great book lists and links.

The Recruiting News. From the recruiter's network, this is a useful newsletter focusing on Internet recruiting. It includes headlines and some in-depth articles.

CareerXroads Update. Articles, survey results, and information on the latest trends in websites from Gerry Crispin and Mark Mehler, the guru's of corporate websites and the authors of the famous book by the same name (CareerXroads).

"Art of the Search" Newsletter. Great practical advice by the Ramer firm. It's also easy to scan.

Weddle's Newsletter. Peter Weddle keeps you informed with high-level think pieces and information on websites and his latest books.

RecruitingNewsWire. Current news from the leaders in recruiting information, Kennedy Information.

Workforce Recruiting. Recruiting strategies and tips from the publishers of Workforce magazine.

Recruiters Aid Newsletter. Trends in recruiting and more.

CollegeRecruiter.com Newsletter. Solid articles and tips on college recruiting.

Recruiting Industry Newswire. Information and news stories on executive search and online recruiting from Hunt Scanlon.

Diversity Newswire. Also by Hunt Scanlon, information and news stories related to diversity.

 

Electronic Newsletters on Recruiting, Online

These e-newsletters require you to visit a website to view the complete article or newsletter:

Recruiters World. Lots of news stories related to recruiting and HR.

The EMA Reporter. EMA is a part of SHRM. It focuses on middle-of-the-road approaches to recruiting.

NewsForRecruiters. Some good tips, especially for agencies and third-party recruiters.

 

Hard-Copy Recruiting Newsletters (by Snail Mail)

These are non-electronic newsletters that you receive through the post office. Both are top-notch and worth the wait:

Duran HCP Newsletter. From the "father of recruiting," this is the most useful newsletter that I have found, bar none. Short but powerful, it contains great tips and lists.

Recruiting Trends. I read every issue. It's easy to scan and it's full of tips and best practices. It's not free, but it has a high ROI.

 

HR and Broader Workforce Issue E-Newsletters

Anyone in recruiting that's worth his or her salt knows that recruiting doesn't exist in a vacuum. As a result, it's important for recruiters to keep up with hot issues and trends that occur in the broader area of HR. Although many of the above listed recruiting newsletters also cover HR issues, the following e-newsletters focus primarily on broader HR issues:

Workforce Week. Put out by the widely read Workforce Magazine people, this newsletter has lots of information, links and Q&A on the hottest issues in HR.

Workindex. A publication from the industry trendsetters at HR Executive magazine. Good high-level articles and lots of links.

HR Week. The latest legal and broad workforce news from SHRM, the largest HR organization on the planet.

VP-of-HR Newsletter. I never miss an issue (I'm the editor). Strategic HR articles covering hot HR trends and controversial topics.
