Signs that Recruiters get Blogging
Back in July of 2004, I asked the question: "Where are all the Recruiting Blogs?". I guess the sign that they are officially here is Recruiting.com's 2005 Best Blog Awards. The fact that there are enough recruiting-related blogs to award the "best" in several categories shows that recruiters (and vendors, CEOs, others) understand the medium; something that warms my candidate-focused heart. Anyway, if recruiting blogs are your thing, you might want to check out their list of nominees.

"Find ways to break through post-interview silence"

excerpt:
"One of the most frustrating experiences job seekers tell me they run into is trying to follow up with potential employers after going through an in-person job interview."
Heather: what about blogging? I did not see this in Kleiman's column. What do you think? - Anonymous

Nathan-what's the question? Whether blogs can be used to get feedback from an interview? Not sure what you are asking but I'm happy to answer : ) - Anonymous

I think that candidates should follow up with the recruiters directly. Since the results of the interview are confidential, I don't think that blogs would come in to play. Unless I am misunderstanding your question.
