Kevin Kanarek’s Summary
My focus in recruiting is search and communications:
* mining the internet for information regarding companies, jobs and people
* reading between the lines
* writing documents that make sense to humans (content, language and layout) and machines (keywords, structured data fields, links, basic SEO strategies)
I also enjoy interviewing people, streamlining processes, and negotiating to find the happy medium between people's needs.
