HR Online Influencers: Top 25

December 20, 2009 Steve Roesler

I’ve been tracking John Sumser’s unfolding list of top 100 HR influencers with interest.

John has now published a new list which uses algorithms to rank online footprints and identify the top 25 online HR influencers –we’re ranked at #19. Check out the HRExaminer site for info on all of the writers; you’ll find some unique contributors.

I found John’s approach to the rankings refreshing. He took time to decide upon a set of meaningful criteria and stuck to them. The ranking is a combination of three different percentages:

Reach: This score (a percentile) estimates the number of people who see the material. It’s a measure of “eyeballs” or audience size.

Resonance: This measures the number of inbound links, mentions, blogroll listings, & community participation

Relevance: This score describes the fit of the individual’s work with a cloud of keywords.

Many thanks to the other influencers and contributors for linking here. And special thanks to you for reading!
