Just when you thought you were receiving too many unqualified applications from Eastern Europe, get ready to accept the volume from many more developing countries.

The MIT Media lab is pushing a new prototype device at the World Summit on the Information Society in Tunis yesterday.

The device is a simplified PC, with an electricity-generating crank giving 10 minutes of autonomy for each one minute of sweat, no hard drive just flash memory, a WIFI to connect to the web, and open standard software.

In short, be ready to use talent management tools that offer at least some disqualification questions. But my bet is that you will soon need more than disqualification functionality. You will need true skills based screening. Why? Because many candidates will quickly figure out how to get a Skype telephone number in your country and you may waste a lot of time before you realize that your final candidates are 10,000 miles away and that you dont sponsor immigration visas!
