This dour, oatmeal-loving Scot is a regular on Facebook discussions about recruiting and, now, after two years, he is returning to this show. @StephenODonn -- LINKEDIN - Website

@GreggDourgarian is the boss of Tempworks. He sells recruiting software and funds startup recruiters. He also runs StaffingTalk. He's going to tell us about his experiments with advertising on Facebook. Gregg on LINKEDIN Jim Durbin, the @SMHeadhunter, drops in regularly to tell us what's been happening with him. He's usually a level-headed guy but he just told me that he is now working with someon...

In the immortal words of Elton John, Amy Ala is back. Only now she calls herself The Honey Badger of Recruiting. But, she assures us, you can still trust her, because she's a professional. @AlaRecruiter -- LINKEDIN -- About.me -- BLOG "I’ve been kicking ass and taking names for so long I could do it in my sleep."

@NLivingston -- LINKEDIN -- Honeit.com -- NickLivingston.com The Honeit Real-Time Interview Platform enables recruiters to record and share highlights from live phone (or video) screens. " I’ll never forget the ‘Aha!’ moment after transitioning from staffing agencies to an in-house recruiting role at MTV where I learned the difference between external and in-house recruiting. " For years it was my...

@Thayer -- LINKEDIN - Company - Personal Blog - About.me - Photo Book    My guest today is a recruiting consultant in England. She seems to have a bit of a hate-on for contingent recruiters or, as she calls them, commission-based recruiters.  

@DHChait -- @Greenhouse -- About.me -- Company We're not really into talking about Recruiting Technology on The Recruiting Animal Show but I heard a guy from Greenhouse on @DriveThruHR and he seemed to know something about recruiting as opposed to software so I invited him to come on this show.  He said he'd get back to me and the next thing I know his company was shoving this other guy in front o...

This was a great show. And it almost didn't happen. Jeff, the guest, had an emergency he had to attend to and cancelled a couple of hours before the show. He was, however, able to get it done ahead of time and return to the show at the last minute. That's what I'm talking about in the intro. @JChaponick -- @RecruitersMAC -- MACRecruiters.com -- LINKEDIN Our first meeting with Jeff: bit.ly/Chaponic...

@Pronexia -- @LINKEDIN -- Company I co-founded Pronexia with the aim of changing the face of the industry. Our clients expect a lot from us because we refuse to settle for mediocrity in everything that we do and I look forward to the day when all companies start demanding a lot more, thus forcing the rest of our “competitors” to clean up their act. Mediocrity is a crime – please, don’t be an accom...

Jeremy Ames, an HR Technology Consultant is bringing Ben Martinez, VP HR of Hirevue to argue that in the future, it will be possible to recruit without phone calls.

@JMC0070 -- LINKEDIN -- MAC Recruiters John started recruiting right out of college beginning in '93.  From '98 – 2010, he was with MRI’s largest franchise, Kaye/Bassman International in Dallas. He became a Partner in 2000, an owner in 2004, consistently producing revenues over $1 Million annually.  A mid-life crisis led him to leave KBIC to work on personal real estate investments. Then he came b...

@JChaponick -- @RecruitersMAC -- LINKEDIN Jeff Chaponick is from New Jersey.  He was in the garbage business and sold his business to Waste Management and retired to Florida at 33. Six months later he met the owner of a new Management Recruiters International (MRI) franchise who got him into recruiting. Jeff became a top 10 recruiter for MRI out of 5000 globally. He was then recruited to the Lucas...

@HollySourceGuru -- LINKEDIN I am just a passionate, hard-working, tenacious, chick with a low bullshit tolerance! Mom of 7 kids (5 bio, 2 step), never went to college, started working at a staffing agency at age 19, worked my way into a recruiting Mgr position by 21. Turned corporate recruiter after 9/11. Learned ‘sourcing’ in 2009, went independent in 2010. I have been fortunate enough to work f...

@WilliamTincup -- LINKEDIN -- Tincup.com I can't say that I really know what William Tincup does. It has something to do with consulting and Human Resource Technology and he is a very popular guy. That's all I know. My hope, therefore, is that Tinny proves to be an articulate expositor of his own expertise so that I, in my ignorance, am not called upon to carry the show.

@MaureenSharib recommended her friend Dickie J. Jones as a guest for the show. He sells lead gen data to sales people including recruiters. He sells them by cold-calling and he sells his clients on them by giving them pep talks about cold calling. And that's what he's going to do for us too. Will it be good? Wait and see
