A GoFundMe spokesperson said they will transfer the donations that have come in since Hamlin's injury. Hamlin’s marketing representative, Jordon Rooney, said he and his family are humbled by the “tremendous support” and will communicate with donors over time. MLB – AP source: Correa spurns Mets, reaches $200M deal with Twins A person familiar with the negotiations says Carlos Correa has agreed to a $200 million, six-year contract that keeps him with the Minnesota Twins after failing to complete deals with the New York Mets and San Francisco Giants.

Stroud and Kentucky's Will Levis are among the top prospects available in the draft. Fields emerged as one of the NFL's most exciting players in his second season.

The Giving Back Fund is a nonprofit that helps athletes and celebrities manage their charitable giving. They will host the “The Chasing M's Foundation” Charitable Fund. A GoFundMe spokesperson said they will transfer the donations that have come in since Hamlin's injury. Hamlin’s marketing representative, Jordon Rooney, said he and his family are humbled by the “tremendous support” and will communicate with donors over time. MLB – AP source: Correa spurns Mets, reaches $200M deal with Twins A person familiar with the negotiations says Carlos Correa has agreed to a $200 million, six-year contract that keeps him with the Minnesota Twins after failing to complete deals with the New York Mets and San Francisco Giants. The deal for the All-Star shortstop is subject to a successful physical. Correa agreed Dec. 13 to a $350 million, 13-year contract with the Giants, who called off a news conference a week later over concerns with a right ankle injury. Correa agreed that night to a $315 million, 12-year deal with the Mets, who also had concerns about the ankle. The agreement with the Twins could be worth $270 million over 10 seasons if Correa remains healthy.

Adam is a part of a tale as old as time. He fell into the business and recruiting very quickly and just as quickly fell in love with it; however, like with so many love affairs, the honeymoon period had to come to an end.

The pillars upon which he built this business mirror the values of ours! Join us in this conversation as it progresses from comparing playbooks to finishing each other's sentences... how cute! Speaking of cute, Adam is married to a nurse, so this paring just keeps getting sweeter. We're all in on Adam (aka C-rad), and we know you will be too! #BehindTheScrubs #TheTravelNurseExperience

But you leave an impression with 100% of those people.” ~Adam Conrad● “There are going to be a bunch of companies that will successfully go on-premise only. They will basically be trading their ability to retain and recruit staff for what they get on-premise.” ~Hung Lee● “What people don’t realize about social media is that it’s a conversation.” ~Jamie Beaumont● “As you put content out [on LinkedIn], you start to see people checking out your profile. The biggest ROI that you’re going to see is more profile views and potential DMs.” ~Joel Lalgee● “What’s absolutely critical if you’re going to start getting more of the right people with the right qualifications responding to your ads or your InMails or your social media posts, is you’ve got to immediately tell your reader what’s in it for them.” ~Mitch Sullivan● “What I’m seeing—and this pandemic has brought it on, too—is this humanization of company brands overall.” ~Will Staney● “I think fixing work is an inside-out job.” ~Laurie Ruettimann● “A sourcer has to have a good online brand, […] is brilliant at identifying talent, [...] and is a wordsmith.” ~Vanessa Raath● “There are a couple of [great automation tools] out there: MyRobotWorks, Machine Sourcer, as well as Phantombuster are some of my top suggestions.” ~Jonathan Kidder● “Making the hire is not the endgame. [...] Where most search firms’ roles end at the placement, that’s where ours really begins.” ~Mike Myatt● “We want to work with clients and candidates on chasing down those lions that they’re facing in their career or in their business.” ~John Randolph● “When people ask, ‘What is the one thing I could change that would help me get better responses?” it’s, ‘Stop writing shitty emails!’” ~Mike “Batman” Cohen● “Think of how you feel when you’ve gotten a communication that was clearly for you [...] and how different

You need an engaged database.”● “You can’t put your own agenda ahead of your candidate’s agenda.”● “You only place maybe 2-5% of the people you talk to; but you leave an impression on 100% of those people whether or not you’re asking how that experience was. They don’t remember what you tell them. They remember how you made them feel.”● “I’d rather over-communicate than under-communicate [with my candidates].”● “We can’t force somebody on the other end to make a decision; but we can control the experience that candidates are having throughout that process.”● “Just because you can automate it doesn’t mean you should.

Originally published December 20, 2018Ten years ago, there was a distinction between “backend” and “frontend” developers. A backend developer would be managing the business logic and database transactions using Ruby on Rails or Java. A frontend developer would be responsible for implementing designs and arranging buttons using raw HTML and JavaScript.Today, developers can build entire applications in JavaScript. Developers who spent their early career developing frontend JavaScript skills are finding themselves with a surprising amount of power. With NodeJS providing a backend framework and React, Vue, or Angular on the frontend, a single JavaScript developer can write all the code for a whole application—hence the rise of the “full stack developer”.At the same time, the cloud infrastructure is becoming easier to use. Backend-as-a-service simplifies the frustrations of deploying your application, and standing up a database. GraphQL improves the relationship between the frontend and the backend. And futuristic technologies like WebAssembly and web virtual reality are promising to make a JavaScript engineer's life even more interesting.Adam Conrad is an engineer and a writer for Software Engineering Daily. In recent articles, he has documented the changing nature of the frontend, including JavaScript engines, virtual reality, and how mature corporations are using React and GraphQL. He joins the show to share his perspective on what is changing in the frontend—and how full stack JavaScript engineers can position themselves for future success in a quickly changing market.

In this episode, Staffing Hub Editor-in-Chief Caitlin Delohery interviews Adam Conrad, a veteran recruiter and founder of [Great Recruiters](https://www.greatrecruiters.com/), a job candidate and reputation management platform specifically designed for recruiters and staffing firms. Adam brings 18 years of recruiting to the table and a powerful desire to change the recruiter stereotype. Recruiters have been getting a bad rap for decades.

And while you know this isn't even close to the full picture, Adam brings practical advice on how to authentically humanize recruiters and the recruiting process. Hint: it takes a little bravery and a lot of active listening. (Oh, and coaching Little League might help, too.)
