Here’s a donation that will rub you the right way: Yahoo! HotJobs has just announced that the company will be donating a luxury spa package to the ERE Foundation charity auction.

We’re happy to see a big company like Yahoo! HotJobs join the cause and hope others will follow their example. Our thanks goes out to HotJobs for their donation.

Members of the staffing community who attend the ERE Foundation’s charity auction will have plenty of opportunities to boost their skills — the Foundation now boasts a second training course on its donation list, this one from Maureen Sharib of TechTrak.com.

For those of you who spend any time on the ERE Network, you probably know Maureen as the friendly sourcing wizard who provides answers to nearly any sourcing question you can ask her. She is widely considered to be one of the foremost experts in the world’s most advanced sourcing techniques. The online training course Maureen has graciously donated is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for you or a recruiter in your organization to get up-to-date with the very latest in candidate sourcing techniques.

Our thanks goes out to Maureen and TechTrak.com for yet another valuable donation to the ERE Foundation cause.

Glenn Gutmacher of Recruiting-Online.com — not to be confused with Recruiting.com, which announced its own contribution today — has just contacted us to donate a 90-day unlimited access subscription to the company’s Advanced Online Recruiting Techniques course for the ERE Foundation’s upcoming charity auction.

Sounds like a great deal for bidders at the auction — improve your recruiting skills (or those of one your employees) and make a contribution to a worthy cause. See our list of donations to learn more about this item.

Thanks Glenn and Recruiting-Online.com; your generosity is much appreciated! Here’s hoping that others in the staffing community will follow your lead by making a donation.

ERE Media is kicking off the donation drive by announcing its own gift to the ERE Foundation charity auction: an all-expenses-paid trip to Amsterdam for ERE’s Global ERE Expo this November. It’s the first of many donated items we’ll be auctioning off at our upcoming charity auction in September.

We’re happy to get the ball rolling and we’re looking forward to other organizations quickly following suit. We’ve got volunteers who are actively hitting the phones and talking to key members of the staffing community right now, so look for the list of donations to grow very quickly. The funds we raise at our annual charity auction will be the primary source of revenue for the ERE Foundation.

Let us know in the meantime if you or your organization would like to donate an item for a good cause.
