BrassRing becomes Kenexa - Congratulations from beRecruiter!

Finally a move in our industry of a million bogus providers, a smart, effective move on two solid companies to consolidate and create something more powerful and effective....now if only the same can happen with Monster, Hotjobs, Careerbuilder, and the other 5 million job boards - our jobs might become a bit easier...to say the least...

Colors

Today is my second day at HOUR Tech in Chicago...the show has been a but slow, but one small observation- why is it that half the companies on the market are using orange and blue in their logos? It seems as if the new color of technology is orange!  Resume parsing seems to be a big thing this year and many logos are starting to look like beRecruiter...coincidence or not?
