HRExaminer announced its list of the Top 25 HR Digital Influencers for 2010, naming Kris Dunn, chief human resources officer for Kinetix, LLC, the recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) firm for growth companies, as the third most influential.
Dunn, who recently joined Kinetix as both partner and CHRO, has long been a dominating force in social media, with a focus on HR practices, recruitment, and technology. He ranked eighth on HRExaminer's 2009 list, moving up to third for 2010.
An online magazine focused on HR professionals and technology, HRExaminer (www.HRExaminer.com) created the list by analyzing HR professionals' activities in social media — from blogs and Facebook to LinkedIn, Twitter, and more. Scores for reach, resonance, and relevance were combined to create a list of the most influential HR leaders.
With more than 15 years in the HR industry, Dunn is frequently sought for his expertise and is a nationally-renowned writer and speaker. His blogs, including www.thehrcapitalist.com and www.fistfuloftalent.com (a collaboration with other recruiters and professionals), are two of the most-read HR blogs, designed to teach and connect those in the HR field. With a large and ever-growing following on Twitter, Dunn's influence extends across all social media.
“It's pretty cool to be recognized for doing something that I find extremely rewarding,” said Dunn. “While social media isn’t the only way to be involved in the ongoing conversation in our industry, it’s becoming an increasingly important tool set. Using social media, like blogs and Twitter, is a lifeline for me to reach fellow HR pros and recruiters. It's an educational process — for both myself and those that follow me.”
