HRBN 40 Under 40

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.
