The RAG

RAG stands for Recruitment Agency Growth and it’s a show that helps recruitment agency owners “learn from others who have already been on the path.” It’s hosted by Sean Anderson, owner of Hoxo Media, an inbound marketing agency that works exclusively with recruitment agencies. You can listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or watch a recording of the show on YouTube. New episodes come out regularly.

People appreciate the useful tips he shares, his authenticity. He gets lots of questions and comments on his videos which he typically responds to.

Recruiter Hunt

Inspired by Product Hunt, Recruiter Hunt brings recruiters a list of the best new apps, tools, and websites for recruiters every Friday. It was created by recruiting expert Carmen Hudson, who claims she started it because she has such a bad memory. “For years, I’d wanted a way to catalog and share the many websites, apps, and tools used by recruiters. Despite the many helpful blogs, groups, and articles about recruiting tools, there was no way to keep track of all of the new tools without losing track of the old tools,” says Carmen.

In addition to getting the curated list in their inboxes, recruiters can visit the website to upvote apps and tools, helping recruiters more easily identify the best products.

Recruiting Brainfood

The newsletter started by Hung Lee is indeed a fan favorite. “It’s one of the only blogs I’m sure to read every week,” says recruiter John Vlastelica. “A must-read,” says recruiter Gospodjica Jaca. Hung knows it. The newsletter is so popular that every issue is sponsored, and it brings the very best manually curated recruiting content to recruiters’ inboxes every week. See all past issues and subscribe.

TextExpander

Our TextExpander blog brings well-researched information for recruiters every week. New posts are published every Wednesday, on topics as wide-ranging as text recruiting, how to attract and retain diverse talent, and creative sourcing strategies.
