HR Happy Hour 151 - 'The LinkedIn Show'' Sponsored by Aquire Thursday November, 29, 2012 - 8:00PM EST Call in 646-378-1086 Follow the backchannel on Twitter - hashtag #HRHappyHour This week the HR Happy Hour Show is all about LinkedIn - what its continued growth in size and importance means for the HR, Recruiting, and Talent Management space, what challenges and opportunities it presents for the industry, and how it impacts the talent community as well as individual users. Does LinkedIn have the market cornered for professional networking? As it grows and expands, is it in danger of becoming too generic, and open for competitors that are chasing it and nipping at the edges? Do we as HR and Talent pros over-rely on LinkedIn at the expense of other tools and platforms? Will LinkedIn become even more important to the Talent pro in the future - getting into more and more traditional talent managment areas? Joining us this week to help break it all down will be industry legend John Sumser from HRexaminer.com, who recently published a series of excellent articles about LinkedIn, which are required pre-reading for this week's show. It should be a fun show, and I hope you can join us!
