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.
