What will recruiters need?

• Yes, the need for traditional security,

scalability, processes, integration with

legacy tools … will still be there

• What NEW will they need?

• They will need to Embrace the Social

Networks

How do Recruiters embrace social networks?

• They will need a tool that enables the connection of the

company with the social networks

• They won’t need an INHOUSE costly database with

Millions of entries of candidates and CVs, notes, …

• The candidate database will be OUT THERE in the

social clouds

• The tool just has to have a module to add comments,

details, notes on the canidates and then integrate with

your legacy systemsBy: Jordi Gili Please follow tomsawyer.es

How do Recruiters embrace social networks? (2)

• Just imagine not having to keep your database

updated and at the same time permanently

connected with millions of candidates

• The tool will have to CRAWL the social networks

(Linkedin, Facebook, Xing, …) for you

• According to Linkedin’s CEO: “People with 10 or

more connections on our site are not likely to lie on

their resume”

Mind-set Roadblocks

• Several companies will fear that loosing control of

their database can be a threat, or not even legal

• That is just a mind-set. Embrace the change! IT IS

HERE, those who don’t will definetely be less

competitive

• “changes aren’t permanent, but change IS” – Neil
