Summary
Skills & Expertise
Education
I have worked as a Recruiter in Ireland and the Caribbean
for the last 15 years but now run Social Talent, the world’s
leading provider of Online Recruitment Training.
We want to change the way that organisations identify
talent globally by translating technology and educating
front line recruiters through a premium, personalised and
practical online learning experience.
Our promise is to deliver the world’s best and most
practical recruitment training in a consistent, high quality
format, personalised by: who you are, where you are
based and what you recruit for.
Our expertise is in identifying and delivering the benefits
of a Web 3.0 world to the recruitment industry. Our
customers are recruitment agencies, corporate recruiters,
headhunters, the HR and marketing departments of hiring
organisations and providers of technology solutions to
the recruitment industry.
We train recruiters in how to source passive candidates
and we advise organisations on how to leverage social
media, SaaS technology and video to source, attract and
engage talent globally.
We help companies and recruiters to source talent
through social media and the web. We enable recruiters
and hiring organisations to tap into the “passive”
candidate market, which represents over 80% of the
total labour pool, by providing them with the tools to
source directly from the internet, by building talent
communities on social media and helping corporates to
develop and market their “employer brand” online in the
places where their target audience spend the most time,
namely social media.
Specialties: Online Recruitment Training, Social
recruiting, boolean search, facebook marketing, social
media marketing, talent acquisition, talent community

Social Talent
Nov 2010 – Present (2 years 4 months)
We want to change the way that organisations identify
talent globally by translating technology and educating
front line recruiters through a premium, personalised
and practical online learning experience.
Our online recruitment training portal (MySocialTalent.
com) is an expansive “bible” of everything you need
to make the most out of online tools to identify, attract
and engage with top talent globally.
Top Recruiters at Oracle, Paypal, Twitter, Accenture,
Adecco, Hays and Manpower leverage Social Talent’s
online recruitment training to ensure that they hire top
talent and outperform their peers.
My job is to think of new ways that technology and
Web 3.0 tools can help the recruitment profession and
teach others through blogging, webinars, consulting
and training.
I also try to make sure that the team at Social Talent
have fun, break things and go home at the end of
each day feeling like we have made a difference to our
industry, however small.
