FOT/HRCapitalist v. 4.0 Talent Management Blog Power Rankings - Our Top 25 Blogs!
We're baaaaack!
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to version 4.0 of the Fistful of Talent/HR Capitalist Talent Management Blog Power Rankings. If you remember (or maybe you don't want to...), the last go- round, we played off the March Madness theme and pitted talent management bloggers against one another. This time around, we decided to throw back to the original power rankings process. We looked at 130 talent, HR and recruiting related blogs and compiled our own list of the very, very best blogs. Check out the original poll methodology here (but note we looked at more blogs this time around and the lineup of folks ranking the blogs has changed slightly).
As with rankings we've done in the past, the pollsters selflessly gave up the right to have their blogs considered for ranking since here at FOT, we believe in free and fair elections. We're not beyond giving our own folks link love though, so check out our blogs or sites of this round's pollsters: Jessica Lee, Tim Sackett, Maren Hogan, Kelly Dingee, Jennifer McClure, Josh Letourneau, Paul Hebert and Kris Dunn.
And with that, here are our top 25 which we believe represent the best of the talent/recruiting/HR/human capital blogs (and welcome to those new to this particular round of the top 25, italicized!):
