Talking Points: What Peter Clayton and Gerry Crispin discuss in this podcast:

• What's the buzz? What's happening inside the staffing industry?
• Is anyone out there in corporate America hiring?
• What sort of projections are you getting for 2009 from staffing industry experts you're speaking with?
• What, in your opinion, is important for job seekers to know about that's not being discussed.
• Sort of on that same vain, you recently blogged about headlines - the one's that are scaring everyone to death and get you to buy newspapers, magazines, and sit through another 5 minutes of commercials on the cable news networks -- BofA to lay off another 35,000 workers!
• Although companies that are going though mass layoffs Citi - for example -- Karen Stephenson a corporate anthropologist talked to me about social networks which don't appear on org charts but are the working knowledge of their organizations.
• I want to talk about a recent blog post of yours - where you revisited your 2008 projections.
• First - talk to me about the use of ss# in the context of job applications
• another projection social networking sites explode- which I think is true, especially twitter -- s I could spend all day on Twitter -- what are your thoughts on how to strategically use
• I recently interviewed our friend Tony Lee about CareerCast.com -- which seems to me to be the print publishers last stand before extinction. What are your thoughts on classifieds?
• Another of your predictions - [Jobseeker] Information Tools to Make Companies Really Transparent Suddenly Appear -- certainly sites like glassdoor.com and vault.com are making this more of a reality - especially for F500 companies.
• One of my favorite topics to discuss with you ATS -
• Any projections for 2009 you'd care to share with us?

Gerry Crispin's biography:
I write, research and share my adventures, opinions and data about evolving staffing models with the HR profession (and at small-group meetings of corporate staffing strategists that participate in CareerXroads' colloquia). I am passionate about how firms design and build staffing processes, the technology to enhance them and the systems to manage them. Together with my business partner, Mark Mehler, I strive to observe and influence new and evolving models that aspire to world-class, measurable standards and satisfy every stakeholder. I want to know more about the "playing fields" where candidates and employers meet and I'm more than a little curious about how they treat one another: how Job Seekers "game" their next career move while Employers tout their latest opportunities. I'm constantly on the lookout for stories about staffing challenges, benchmarks, and results as well as the people who live the stories they tell.
