HRBN 40 Under 40

Posted by laurie ruettimann on 01.07.13 in HR Blogging

40-under-40HRBN, The Starr Conspiracy and Retargeter are proud to present the HRBN 40 Under 40.

This list was created because I was sick and tired of HR leaders telling me that our industry’s talent pipeline is weak. I think they are wrong. The future of HR and recruiting is bright and social. We have shining examples of leadership in our community.

And they blog.

(Oh, the humanity!)

So here is the future of HR — nominated by their peers and approved through the wisdom of the crowds. They appear in no particular order.

Do you love a blogger who isn’t on this list? Was a notable blogger under 40 overlooked? Nominate that person in the comments for the next version of this list!

And congratulations to every blogger out there — no matter what age — for taking a risk and getting social.

Great list, and there are a lot of great bloggers who are just on the other side of 40, as well…

Damon Klotz – The HR Rockstar has to be on the list, and Ivo Boucher and Ettienne Bessom and Bruno and so many more. Morrison has to be over 40 though

An awesome list! Looking forward to checking out some new reads on here shortly.

If I could be cheeky and add mine to it also – I am below 40, despite what my profile photos might suggest: http://www.mentoringmullarkey.com

Many thanks!

You know, I’ve normally agreed with that Groucho Marx quote about being a member of a club that would have me, but in this case, I’m absolutely honored – and inspired that the future of our industry looks so bright.
