This week on the HR Happy Hour Show join host Steve Boese with special guests Megan Berry from online reputation management site Klout as well as recruiting and social media star Jennifer McClure from Unbridled Talent as we take a look at Klout and the importance of measures of online or digital influence in the sourcing, recruiting, and job seeking process.

What is the Klout score anyway?

How is it calculated?

What do Klout and other forms of online influence measurement really mean for organizations and recruiters today?

You might not hire a sales candidate that had only 24 LinkedIn connections, would you also shy away from a candidate with a poor Klout score?

And for job seekers, should they worry about these kinds of measurements?

These questions and more will be addressed on the show this week.

So make sure to join guests Megan Berry and Jennifer McClure with host Steve Boese and guest co-host Dawn Hrdlica-Burke for a look at the emerging, confusing, and sometimes controversial topic of online influence and the workplace.

It should be a great show and I hope you can join us!
