Yesterday afternoon I found out that none other than John Sumser will become the new editor of Recruiting.com. Wow! He’s a big name guy. He’s a smart guy and I know that when he commits himself to do something, he does it and does his best. + d' Y1 m6 l0 |7 Y

I spoke to John this morning and asked him some questions and essentially this is what I got from him. 0 U( H+ z" w6 m# x

He is being hired as the new editor for Recruiting.com and he will use his powers to help pull together some strong voices and ideas. I don’t believe that the initial plan is to drastically change Recruiting.com but over time, John’s flavor of what is interesting will help shape the blog. k4 g% y) ^- b% `

John has had tremendous influence on my involvement in the recruiting industry. He initially put the idea in my head that blogging could be a great thing. He was right. I have been visiting his site daily for 10 years now and I have referenced his articles countless of times. John has been watching Recruiting.com as an outsider very closely for the last 3 years and it sure must be an interesting thing now for him to be stepping on in. I look forward to watching.
