Social Media - Friend or Foe of the Job Seeker?

The buzz around using social media to find a job or find a candidate is starting to become very loud.

Using Twitter as a Recruiting Tool

Posted on February 4, 2009 at 4:46pm 0 Comments

We Don't Use Job Boards, We Use Monster!

Posted on August 27, 2008 at 10:24am 2 Comments

It never ceases to amaze me when a Director of Recruiting makes a statement like, "We don't use job boards, we use Monster". This was the answer given to a collegue of mine as they were discussing online recruiting strategies.
