I had a posting earlier today, Your Online Presence And The Recruiter. What Will They Find?, and I want to clarify my position. I think these social networking sites are great, personally and professionally. It’s some of the people using it I have an issue with. Well, not so much them as a person but the information they are sharing and then to be shocked, SHOCKED, that it might be used against them. Back to Facebook, what a great story it is. Two dudes in college want to build a site at their college, Harvard, so students can better communicate and it becomes very popular. So the kids at Stanford start using it. Then it spreads like a wildfire. Then the founders turn down $750 million hoping for $2 billion. Yep, that is how BusinessWeek is reporting it today with this story, Facebook’s on the Block.

About
Welcome to the Minnesota Headhunter Blog. My name is Paul DeBettignies (pronounced De-Bett-ingz).
I started writing this blog in May of 2005 to share thoughts and ideas I had as an IT recruiter.
Since then I expanded this site to include local recruiter jobs, help Minnesota nonprofits find IT volunteers and employees, links to Minnesota business news, and promote the local tech community.
I am the Managing Partner of Nerd Search, LLC a Minneapolis IT search firm, Co Founder and Coordinator of Minnesota Recruiters and a frequent local and national speaker and article contributor on recruiter, HR, career, networking and social media topics.
Have a question, comment, inquiry?
