Glenn Gutmacher’s Summary

Glenn (sometimes misspelled Glen Gutmacher) created 1 of the world's 1st 100% web-based e-sourcing courses in '97 after founding greater Boston's 1st regional career portal, JobSmart, in '96 for a major newspaper chain's TownOnline.com. After starting Recruiting-Online.com & years of training, I've been a happy sourcer for major corporations (2005-08 at Microsoft, Getronics previously) and now consult and train full-time for JobMachine.net and I speak on Internet sourcing at recruiting conferences.

HOW YOU BENEFIT:
1) Connect directly: my 1.8 million+ at 2nd degree instantly joins your viewable/searchable 3rd degree network
2) Free resources (www.jobmachine.net/sourcer and www.recruiting-online.com/samples.html) & Sourcing Q&A blog: www.recruiting-online.spaces.live.com
3) Send LinkedIn requests (will fwd if follows guidelines at bottom)
4) As a LI recruiting "guru" interviewed for "LinkedIn for Recruiters" (www.linkedin.com/static?key=promo_linkedin_for_recruiting) & the featured recruiter in Business 2.0 magazine's (Dec.'06) article about LI (http://money.cnn.com/magazines/business2/business2_archive/2006/12/01/8394967/ ), I can suggest ways to take more advantage of LI's power, e.g., www.jobmachine.net/cheatsheetsmain.htm (but see #2 first).

MY WANTS:
1) Please refer any person or team who'd like to take their recruiting / sourcing skills to the next level.
2) Ditto for a corp. recruiting dept. or search firm that wants to optimize or rethink its sourcing function
3) Take my self-paced online training (www.recruiting-online.com/access.html)
