Shannon Seery Gude’s Summary

My experience includes career web site and application strategy, project management and execution, interactive recruitment marketing & employer branding, search engine marketing, social media optimization, blogs and wikis, and web site design. Along with my team of web consultants, designers, programmers, producers and project managers, we develop and implement recruitment web strategies and talent management initiatives for clients such as Bank of America, Citi, FedEx, MetLife, Discover and Wellpoint.

I have spent over a decade involved in Interactive marketing. Prior to joining Bernard Hodes Group, I was a regional director, client services/ internet recruitment leader at The David Group and have worked for the digital arms of both Knight Ridder Digital (now McClatchy Interactive) and Cox Newspapers. I hold a bachelor’s of art degree in psychology from Colgate University.

I am an active blogger, specializing in helping companies leverage web technologies and social media to engage and interact with potential candidates. I consider myself an Internet original - my education and career developed in parallel with this industry. The combination of technology and how it affects people is the root of my fascination - there's nothing more exciting than helping people tap in to that; whether it's through an online recruitment strategy, integrated online campaign, or the tools we use to work with our medium.

Talk to me about the Internet - and my passion for this business quickly rises to the surface with the passion of a true industry evangelist.
