10 Fantastic Recruitment Blogs You Should Be Reading

“I love to read recruiting manuals, watch hours-long training videos and attend full-day recruiting training”, says no recruiters ever.

The pace of work is getting so fast that we barely have time to take a pee break. But we still have to keep up with the times and continuously update our brainware.

I love reading recruiting blogs – they have fresher content and provide excellent insights and opinions from experts and thought leaders directly.

Before this was possible, you probably had to pay thousands of dollars to hear them speak. Now you just need internet access.

If you want to be at the forefront of recruitment, you must read these ten recruitment blogs. I subscribe to every single one of them, and it helps me maintain my edge in the world of recruitment.

1. ERE
