Stay tuned for more exciting updates, including our calendar for upcoming events being planned by our Membership Committees as directed by the respective BOD member.

 We are thrilled to report our first month’s statistics for San Diego Recruiters Roundtable! Our membership has grown to 275 members who are HR Professionals, HR Consultants and Corporate Recruiters within San Diego’s human resource community. The diversity is exciting within our member base, which includes roughly 60 HR Consultants and 60 HR Executives who also have special access forums to discuss and share sensitive information in a private format.

 Our resume database is filling up and now has almost 2000 searchable resumes, and candidates and San Diego job seekers are coming to www.sdrecruiters.com and applying directly to our more than 90 job openings. Members can post jobs either for internal member search only, or elect to post them on our public searchable job site in our Career Center. We track the EEO data as shared by our applicants to help our HR Members encourage diversity recruiting and meet their Affirmative Action and Equal Employment Opportunity goals. We will begin reporting EEO data with March data at the end of the month.

  It has been almost 2 weeks since San Diego Recruiters Roundtable has changed its format, and already our membership base has grown to over 200 members! Job seekers are busy uploading their resumes into our Smart Search Applicant Tracking System and our resume database is growing fast. Our members have posted over 50 jobs on our job board. Our vision of bringing San Diego’s employers and job applicants together in conjunction with our other networking tools is already a success. If you haven’t seen our Career Center, be sure and take a look at  http://www.sdrecruiters.com/career.html !

 The email traffic is also starting to pick up again on the listserv, but it is very exciting to see our networking forums begin to get traction. There are some members with interesting questions who are looking for feedback. Hot topics this week have been around cell phone policies, blogging for candidates, and internet resume sourcing tools. Be sure and visit the forums as often as you can so that we can give our colleagues timely responses.

 Stay tuned for more information coming soon on upcoming Networking Events, our drive to fill our Document Library, and a new member referral program! As always, you can email any questions or feedback to Julie Magnuson, whose contact information can be found at http://www.sdrecruiters.com/contact.html
