There is no doubt the current economic conditions have changed the views and opinions of business towards all functional processes, and recruiting strategy is high up most organisation’s agenda.The days of placing an ad in the local regional or even national newspaper or trade journal are numbered, with job boards becoming the staple diet of job seekers, recruitment agencies and more commonly corporate business. Many businesses are also looking at the cost of using recruitment agencies and again contemplating bringing as much recruitment as they can in-house.
Even using job boards is becoming ‘so last week’ given the prolific and explosive entry of business and social media platforms (digital media) such as LinkedIn and Facebook, which are now seen as key resourcing channels for recruiters and progressive corporate’s.
