WEB 2.0 AND RECRUITING

Today’s blog is a continuation of the discussion of the recent survey on Social Network Recruiting, which was conducted between April 30 and May 15, 2009, by Jobvite.com. 438 individuals completed the 23 question survey using an online survey tool.

Of the 438 individuals who responded to the survey, 76% said they have used LinkedIn to research candidates. 67% use a search engine, but it doesn’t say what that tool actually is. It could be something simple as Google, or a tool such as used by ADP, the large payroll processing company, to conduct driving records and criminal background checks.
