Easton Executive Search Group Launches New Blog

October 1, 2009 by CdnHeadHunter

We are proud to announce the launch of our new blog site, which gives us added connectivity to our clients, candidates and partners. Since taking on the task of web marketing integration, and community building we have become acutely aware of the glory of Web2.0 tools.  Hence why we’ve made the decision that the ultimate goal of EESG v1.0 is to remove ourselves from being a standard job board or careers page, but instead to be considered a trusted hub of useful and insightful information sharing for our colleagues, partners, clients and candidates.

Without publishing our “secret sauce to success” we can participate actively in the Web2.0 movement by socializing our offerings to the public.  Research has been a core driver of our business since its inception in 2006. Socializing our research allows us to become active components in what affects the information has. Please feel free to subscribe to our our news feeds, which we’ve broken down by audience.
