Thanks for including me on the list! I noticed the twitter grader list has some people who are not recruiters, not really sure how they composed that list.

(please note that Hirecentrix is in the top 20 list in the search term "Recruiting" so I am saying this with an Open Mind" not because we didn't make some list) Question - How does one Define a "TOP" recruiter on Twitter.. is it because they made a Lot of placements on twitter? Is it because of their Recruiting Experience? is it because of their Recruiting Knowledge? Are they Big Billers? or is it because they Chat a lot on twitter; reached out to tons of people and got a lot of followers? Is it because they have a lot of "friends" and are part of alliances and networks? This list as Jim even mentioned in his post has been taken out of hand.. and it concerns me that many are Progressively proclaiming many to be "top" recruiters, without defining What Makes that individual a "top" recruiter. ccording to Mike Volpe, vice president of marketing for the interactive marketing firm (twitter grader), the grades are generated by taking the following into account: 1. Number of followers 2. Number of followers that your followers have (the power of your network) 3. Quantity and pace of updates 4. Additional proprietary analysis (this is the super secret algorithmic stuff generator part) The catch? The tool only checks people against others who have already been graded. The database is quickly growing, however. I tried the grader right after it alpha launched yesterday around 4 p.m. ET and there were only about 375 people in the database. As of this writing there were near 8,000 users. Regardless, however, Volpe says the trending can still be useful even if all Twitter users aren’t represented.

Question –

How does one Define a “TOP” recruiter on Twitter.. is it because they made a Lot of placements on twitter? Is it because of their Recruiting Experience? is it because of their Recruiting Knowledge? Are they Big Billers?

or is it because they Chat a lot on twitter; reached out to tons of people and got a lot of followers? Is it because they have a lot of “friends” and are part of alliances and networks?

This list as Jim even mentioned in his post has been taken out of hand.. and it concerns me that many are Progressively proclaiming many to be “top” recruiters, without defining What Makes that individual a “top” recruiter.

ccording to Mike Volpe, vice president of marketing for the interactive marketing firm (twitter grader), the grades are generated by taking the following into account:

1. Number of followers
2. Number of followers that your followers have (the power of your network)
3. Quantity and pace of updates
4. Additional proprietary analysis (this is the super secret algorithmic stuff generator part)

So, is it about QUANTITY.. not QUALITY.. that makes one a “top” recruiter — and if that is so, then this list really has No significant Strength http://blogs.zdnet.com/feeds/?p=208

and for the fun of it here are the Top 100 Hires ;) http://twurl.nl/habmtg

again, please note that this is said with an open mind, and even after making the “top” 20 “grade” in twitter grader
