A Golden Age of Referral Recruitment?

Earlier in the year I wrote a post underlining my strong belief that we're entering a golden age of referral recruiting as improving technology makes it possible to unlock the power of people's social graphs.This is all very well in theory but I thought it was time I found someactual examples to prove the point.After a bit of digging around I…See More

Wow.....That was a very effective blog piece. Great teaser on the source and when you did reveal that it was from 1973, it hit me like 2000 pounds of reddish, rectangular, box like, building materials. I have never once concered the power of weak…
