Congratulations to Animal #timsackettday -

Congratulations to Animal #timsackettday - Today is a special day. My friend Laurie Ruettimann started it a few years ago to honor someone whos made a difference in the HR and recruiting industries.  Laurie notes theyve honored good folks like Tim Sackett, Paul Hebert and Kelly Dingee. This year, the honoree is the Recruiting Animal.  When I heard the news, I jumped in to  participate! If you dont know about Animal, you should! He runs the greatest recruiting show on earth, and hes been doing it forever. Hes been podcasting since way before podcasting was the thing to do. When I first came on the social media scene, he was always very welcoming and supportive, and even invited me on his show. He was one of my early friends on Twitter, and one of the people who made using Twitter worthwhile for me. My earliest memories of Animal include emails where he invited me to argue with him publicly online.  He also gave me information about  his  research about LinkedIn for my first book. On the outside, hes a little.shall we sayabrasive, but hes always there with an offer to help. In fact, Animal recently started his good recruiter list. He says, There arerecruitersworking in the trenches who are good at what they do and could offer lots of good advice but  they never turn up on these lists because they dont work at creating a public profile.  This Good Recruiter List is going to make them visible too. See, Animal is always lending a hand. Id share other nice exchanges Ive had over the years, but Im afraid Animal might yell at me for sounding too sentimental or mushy. But, its safe to say hes one of the good guys. Even though he may yell at you. He only yells because he cares. Whether youre a job seeker, a recruiter or anyone in the HR world, you should check out Animal and keep up with what he has to say. Look up  Animals show and find him onlineYou wont be sorry! And, please share and post about @Animal and  #timsackettday. Spread the love! Twitter Facebook LinkedIn Blog
