Dear Subscribers, Friends and Visitors,

I hereby notify you all that the award-winning blog – The Recruiters Lounge is now on hiatus so that I may direct more attention to The Searchologist.

Say what?! What is The Searchologist?

The Searchologist is a blog of lead generation strategies for Recruiters. Each week it is updated with actionable information that can be immediately applied towards your open requisitions. The most recent content is available for free, but is archived after a week. A paid subscription is required to access the archives.

How long until The Recruiters Lounge returns?
I do not have a definitive date, but just so I can be as vague as possible, some time in 2010. And to be clear, it is not on hiatus due to lack of popularity (in all modesty). Over the last 3 months, The Recruiters Lounge averaged 36,317 pageviews and 22,796 uniques a month and the traffic trend was steadily climbing. But hey, there was only so much a guy can do in his spare time and with all that I do (and that is quite a bit) something had to give.

Is this a trick? Are you selling your blog?
Not a trick. Not selling my blog, but if anyone wants to talk about it… (shrugging my shoulders). Have your people call my people, which is me (for the most part).

What about your podcast?
The Recruiters Lounge Podcast will also continue in 2010 (ummm… maybe sooner?). You will be able to access the new podcasts on HireCentrix which a website my friend – Karen Mattonen will soon be (officially) launching soon.

Okay… I told myself I would not cry, so I better go right now. (sniff-sniff)

E’ ya’ later!
