Influencer of the Month (July): John Sumser
July 2nd, 2010 by courtneyIt’s the beginning of July and you know what that means! We’re officially into the summer season, more than halfway through the 2010 year, and the 4th of July is right around the corner. But, more importantly, it’s Influencer of the Month time! Our July Influencer of the Month is a driving voice in the HR world when it comes to industry services and analysis and a great partner of ours, John Sumser.
Who is John Sumser?
You may know him from his “Top 100 HR Influencers” project, but John is pretty much all over the place; he’s the founder and CEO of Two Color Hat, Director at salary.com, editor of HRExaminer and also writes on his personal recruiting blog, johnsumser.com. In all of the venues he contributes to, John provides invaluable news and views into the HR industry and with all of his knowledge and experience, he also gives his readers foresight into the future of the industry.
Traackr partners with John frequently to create lists that cover specific areas of the HR industry. You can check out the 
Top 25 Online Influencers in Talent Management, which was featured on the home page of HR Examiner. All the rest can be found on his blog. The array of HR topics these lists cover reflect John’s “influencer style”, which is a healthy and informed view of all aspects of his industry, rather than an extreme focus on one area of it. With this general approach, John maintains a spot among the top influencers in the industry, but doesn’t put him at number one.
With nearly 3,500 twitter followers and 5,000 tweets, John’s energy is truly inspiring and addicting to all of his readers. If you want to learn about the HR industry or need professional advice about your company’s own HR, John Sumser is someone you should read up on!
Congratulations John! We know we will see you again.
