@EricJohnBrown -- LINKEDIN:

@ADAM_W_GORDON -- LINKEDIN -- CANDIDATE ID: 

Many international employers have millions of people in their ATS so they shouldn't be wasting their time putting ever more people into their pipeline. 

But if you want to hire a sales rep and you have 2000 sales reps in your ATS, who do you call first? Do you just spam the same email blast out to everyone?

No, you want to know something about those people so you can hit the most likely candidates first.  So Candidate ID sends info to these people on an 

ongoing basis and it grades their responses to your content. Then, when you want to hire a sales rep you call the ones with the highest scores.

@TheWarForTalent -- LINKEDIN -- TheTalentCast.com: 

"Noted" employer brand and recruitment marketing expert, keynote speaker, thinker, podcaster, influencer, strategist (and do-er). Sure, I talk a good game, but I spend most of my time building "the uncomfortable and new,” turning it into “this is how we do it now.” Then I do it again.

Creator of the Recruiting Content Framework, I was the first person to prove content positively impacts applications, turning a failing department into a growth engine, starting a media-buying department from scratch, expanding the content and social offering globally, or bringing Bucky Badger to the social world. Starting profitable projects is my super power.

Specialties: Digital, Content and Marketing Strategy, Employer Branding, Recruitment Marketing and Leadership. (Also: B2B Marketing, Management, Brand Development and Repositioning, Explaining and Pitching, Public Speaking, Web Analytics, Coaching and Metaphor Creation.)

@KatrinaKibben -- LINKEDIN: 

I am a storyteller. A tactical problem solver. A curious mind. A data nerd.

For most of my career, I've been a marketer living in a recruiter's world - listening to both sides of the talent equation to understand endemic issues and conceptualize solutions for engaging and (hopefully) hiring better people.

Today, I take all of that listening and create recruitment marketing strategies that work at my own company, ThreeEarsMedia.com. 

If there's 1 thing you should know about my style, it's that I approach every problem with a high “figure it out” quotient and I'll work harder than anyone to drive results.
