In This Issue:
HeadRec is our series of interviews with gurus, opinion leaders and innovators both in Ireland and abroad. This issue we talk to Sean Gallagher, entrepreneur, mentor, Dragons' Den panelist and founder and former CEO of Smarthomes. Sean talks about his first job, his most challenging interview, how he has recruited talent, his work on the ground encouraging an entrepreneurial culture in Ireland and of course let's not forget Dragons' Den.

As video continues to join the mainstream in the recruitment process, the latest addition to the array of solutions available to today's jobseeker may just prove a little too out of reach. An Augmented Reality CV attempts to bring a traditional CV to life by using audio and visual technology and they're hoping it will be the CV of the future. Does it get a heads up or a thumbs down? You decide by reading the short post and see one in action.

We've been trying to think of a catchy word for an automated video interview that can be a noun, a verb and its derivatives. The plan is for this wonder noun to become a standard word in the recruitment lexicon similar to CV. We think we've come up with a contender. So what do you think of this?
