Professional networking site LinkedIn got an endorsement from Interactive Advertising Bureau President Randall Rothenberg this week.
A post on the company blog explains how
Rothenberg turned to his LinkedIn network in 2007 to start his search for a C-level officer for the IAB.
Posting the job on LinkedIn eventually led to the hiring of Patrick Dolan as the trade
group's chief administrative officer. In a video testimonial accompanying the post, Rothenberg says that going through LinkedIn to recruit Dolan, and another senior placement, saved the IAB up to
$150,000 in headhunter fees. That should make members happy.--Mark Walsh
