Who’s the Fool Behind This Suff?

m.jpg 

My name’s Martin Burns, and I’m the Recruiting Manager for ZoomInfo.com, a pretty nifty little search engine in the wilds of beu colic, maybe a little post-industrial Waltham, MA.  This blog is in part (full disclosure) a shameless way for me to sucker - err, attract raw talent to work with us.

That said, let’s get the legal stuff out of the way: while I’m an employee of ZoomInfo, the views expressed here are soley my own, and are not approved by the company prior to posting.  Frankly, I’m one of the people that keeps our PR Director up worrying at night - since she’s my friend & I like to upset the people I love, that’s just gravy.  No guarantees that I can find you a job, and take what I say with a grain of salt.

The blog’s written with a (more than) slightly cheeky voice, with content taken from my general experience working helping people manage job/ career change (all names removed to avoid nasty litigation). 

Beyond that, it’s good advice for the job seeker, and the rest of us humans, from a recruiter that’s a little in the know. I have 8 years of recruiting under my belt, primarily working as an agency headhunter prior to jumping to the dark side (ie corporate).  I like helping people — finding a job is intimidating, and if I can ease your pain, I’d like to.  If you want to learn more about what makes me, well, me, you can check out my ZoomInfo profile or my Amazon wish list (and, yes, I gleefully take bribes gifts).

Oh, and if you just want to reach out and say “hi”, or maybe “hire me” (fingers crossed on that last one), you can e-mail me here: burns@zoominfo.com

    I found your site interesting and amusing! I wish I’d gone to ‘techie-school’! I’m thinking about going back to school so I can apply to companies like yours…or even your company?!! I love to dig into the config. files and clean out the old junk…what do you call someone who does that? LOL! If I could only get paid to do that, life would be grand! Keep up the good work, I’ve referred your site to a techie-friend who can send it on to more techie-friends in the wilds of S.D. and Minnesota! I’m in CNY, myself…great global winter we’re having, huh?!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR. Sincerely, Michelle R.

    Martin,
    I love your blog. What types of people does ZoomInfo want to hire? Maybe you could do a guest blog post for me (about ZoomInfo and its application to the Medical arena or Medical Sales arena)? Just a thought. Have a great day.

    Martin,
    When I roll over the positions on the upper left, your explanation covers the job description?
