This time around five of the major social developers have kept their human resource departments busy, according to data from LinkedIn, while Slide continues its transition over to Google. Of particular interest, however, Zynga gains some major hires this week as well. Claire Tipton joins the team as their new Corporate Development Coordinator, while former CEO of Conduit Labs, Nabeel Hyatt becomes the new Head of Zynga Boston — part of the recent acquisition of his company.
