Glenn Gutmacher’s Summary

Glenn (sometimes misspelled Glen Gutmacher) created one of the world's first 100% web-based e-sourcing courses in 1997 after founding greater Boston's first regional career portal, JobSmart, in 1996 for a major newspaper chain's TownOnline.com. After starting Recruiting-Online.com & years of training, I've been in the trenches sourcing for major corporations (2005-08 at Microsoft, Getronics previously) and now consult and train corporate and third-party recruiting teams full-time for Arbita ACES (formerly JobMachine). You'll also find me presenting on sourcing and social recruiting topics at recruiting conferences.

HOW YOU BENEFIT:
1) Connect directly: my 2 million+ at 2nd degree instantly joins your viewable/searchable 3rd degree network
2) Free resources (http://aces.arbita.net/sourcer and www.recruiting-online.com/samples.html) & Sourcing Q&A blog: http://aces.arbita.net/blog and www.recruiting-online.spaces.live.com
3) Send LinkedIn introductions (will forward 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://bit.ly/2csvdZ ), I can suggest ways to take more advantage of LI's power, e.g., http://aces.arbita.net/products/cheatsheets (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 (http://www.recruiting-online.com/access.html)
