Bodega Bay, Calif. /December 17, 2009 – Want to be influential in the online HR Community? Here’s a look at how the top 25 Online Influencers in Human Resources do it:

- Over half of the people on the list have more than one blog.
- Only 20% actually work in an HR job.
- 40% work in and around the recruiting industry.
- 55% dispense some form of career advice as a part of their work.
- 96% have a Facebook account.
- 72% are on Twitter.
- 92% use LinkedIn.

In the first study of its kind, HRExaminer.com and Traackr partnered to define the 25 most influential members of the online HR community. Using Traackr’s proprietary algorithm, the study surveyed online activity in the Human Resources area.

The survey measured:

- Reach (size of each person’s audience online)
- Resonance (a measure of inbound links and references)
- Relevance (mapping against a cloud of keywords)

The Top 25 HR Digital Influencers list is now live and can be found online at HRExaminer.com as a part of the launch of HRExaminer.com. The bimonthly online magazine will focus on the people, technology, ideas and careers of senior leaders in Human Resources and human capital.

“It should be noted that social media is full of early adopters,” said John Sumser, CEO and Founder of HRExaminer.com. “The community of early adopters is really distinct from mainstream culture. As the rest of the world gets the hang of the new communications tools, the list will change rapidly.”
