Trinsly
As a receiver of way too many I’m generally not a fan of ‘drip marketing’ campaigns. However, I could just be an irate outlier, so this useful looking chrome extension might be just the thing for those of you who swear by the 72 hour auto follow up rule.

Our Plans to Restrict Data Access on Facebook
As the Cambridge Analytica story rolls on, the tech giants are being forced to shore up their image by restricting access to data. We’ve likely seen the high point of scraping on the open web. For recruiters, that means the job of finding candidate date has just got harder - and likely - more expensive.

Gender Pay Gap Search Results
The UK has published gender pay data across 1000’s of companies last week. This site by GOV.UK is still in beta but available now as the searchable archive for all those who have reported. No surprises on the gap but the lack of granularity on the data is disappointing.

Socially Useless Jobs
100,000 workers from 47 countries were surveyed asking them to rate the accuracy of the statement, ‘My job is useful to society’. Here’s the deal: there’s a dissonance between work & values, with implications for the measures we may use to shore up employment in the face of workforce automation.

‘OSINT’ stands for ‘Open Source Intelligence Tools’ - an outstanding collection of tools which can be directly applied to sourcing.

I’m in Morzine today, a ski resort in the French Alps, so will be trying hard not to suffer a comedy injury when I hit the slopes shortly. Likely I’ll be off grid so will be a little slower to respond than usual. However, please do message me if you do want to talk hiring or the future of the planet, as I do like these things more than the snow: email me on hung@workshape.io or on twitter @HungLee.
Special note for my US subscribers:
Yes, I do host US based recruiter jobs in brainfood. You just have to be a subscriber and send me an email with a link to the job.
Thanks Hung
