I’ve have had the pleasure to know Eric for many years now and he defines influence. His energy, spirit, and drive are endless – and when he speaks you want to listen. He is smart, honest, and tons of fun! He listens openly and speaks with passion and meaning. Awesome choice – and kudos to Eric!

I enjoyed the article. I am very new to this industry. Actually I was a recruiter 21 years ago, for a year, but things have changed.

21 years ago, it was all about recruiting, and not so much about sourcing. I didn’t realize it had changed. Everyday I keep learning.

Thanks for the informative piece.

I am such a dork. I just sent through a totally empty comment. Moving on…

Eric is one of my favorite people. I don’t mean in the industry and I don’t mean on the conference circuit. I mean…one of my favorite people PERIOD.

I can’t tell you how many people tell me how much their perception of Monster has changed as a result of knowing this man. He’s smart as a whip, funny as heck, can dance almost as good as me and a snazzy dresser to boot.

Beyond his professional reputation, he’s loves his “girls” and is a generous and amazingly fun friend. Not sure I can say enough good things. In my mind, he is a total influencer. Great job John for profiling the “game changer”!

Look at all your friends http://hashlove.com/cards/152

Congrats Eric. You are definitely influencing something good. It’s because of James Andrews that we know each other. Thanks @keyinfluencer for that.

Such a great and inspirational choice. Eric is so great in his approach and delivery that you are always open to listening. He is a leader with a phenomenal personality, a kind heart, and boy can he dance. So glad to see he’s been recognized in the Top 100. Kudos to you both.

Listing to Eric’s presentation last week in Chicago at the onrec/Kennedy event made me and so many others understand that he is going places and ready to move forward in all things recruiting that is all things people-centric in regards to recruiting.
His passion and energy is awe inspiring and he has created an amazing team to support the new Monster.com.

Until I read this, I had not made the connection between @ewmonster and Monster.com. Now I get it! Eric is a delight in person. He has a great sense of humor. I enjoyed meeting him at Recruitfest. His perspective on sourcing vs. recruiting interests me. I still don’t understand the difference between the two, as I am new to this field. (@Animal calls me a “recruiting groupie.” I enjoy following recruiters on Twitter and meeting them in person.) Eric’s comments give me an idea for pitching an article to a recruiting-oriented publication. I’m a writer by trade but I am considering adding recruiting services to my freelance practice. John, thanks for a great write-up about Eric.

John~

Thanks for sharing more about Eric. He is one of the most dynamic and bright individuals I have ever met. Whenever he speaks, addressing topics that range from tolerance to innovation, you have to listen. And in that listening, his brilliance is revealed and your own level of understanding is raised.

While it is true that he has fantastic shoes, those shoes pale in comparison to the other trend that he setting, that of being smart and personable and someone you simply want to know.

I look forward to the next conversation, as well as his thought-provoking and masterfully played responses. He is, indeed, influential.
