Fistful of Ranked Bloggers

Comments Posted on Feb 05, 2010 Last Updated Feb 16, 2010 Posted by Chris Hoyt (aka: TheRecruiterGuy)

Feeling flattered, surprised, and some cool facter - hey, I'm not gonna' lie. For the most part this is what happens when our names make a list - well, depending on the list, I suppose. I remember this one time in the 5th grade where my name was put on a list for... okay - I digress.

Regardless... Making the FOT/HRCapitalist Talent Management Blog Power Rankings Top 10 again is certainly something that invoked the aforementioned feelings. But what I really take away from the total listing is more than just the obvious cool part of being listed. What I really walk away with is a list of blogs I should be checking out - if they're not already on my radar. The true take away from this for everyone should be a listing of other people in the recruiting or [HR] marketing industry that seem to know their stuff - or are damned good at delivering it.

So here it is... and congrats to every single person involved - they each deserve a spot in your feed reader regardless of your industry.

Straight from FoT:
So, welcome to 2010 and here you have this decade's first go-round of FOT's top 25 blogs. Congrats to our winners - and thanks for always generating such fantastic content. We appreciate it.

Great list thank you for sharing it. Congratulations on your ranking, RecruiterGuy.
I work at a small recruiting firm and am wondering if there is any way I could have our site added to your blogroll?
