Job seekers are redefining what it seems to ‘go social’ during job hunt
Midlands Business Journal, December 30, 2011
As more people have turned to the touch of the screen or click of the
key, as opposed to the traditional “shake of the hand” in their search for a
job, global and regional staffing and employment firms have taken notice and
are adapting by providing leveraging technology themselves. Of course, with
this technology comes its own challenge (which can’t be ignored) of how to
use the tools popping up everywhere, according to Regional Manager Chris L.
Carlson of Aureus Group. “Choosing which ones are the most efficient and
effective in each skill set is a daunting and expensive task,” she said.
“It’s our core business so we invest the resources and measure results and
annually tweak the tools we use. “I believe this is one of the variables
driving the growth in the staffing industry. Companies are increasingly
using recruiting partners more strategically for hard-to-fill positions.”
