Web 2.0 and Recruiting

by Alice Snell | May 25, 2007 No comments

Last month Jobster published the results of a quick survey that focused on Web 2.0 topics among other data points. Questions covered social networks, video resumes, and sourcing methods. Looking at the responses, we saw some interesting indications of trends and perceptions.

79 percent of respondents said they read recruiting blogs.

A majority of respondents (56 percent) classified themselves as not at all familiar, or a beginner, when it comes to Web 2.0 and recruitment.

So if they read this blog and want to understand more about applying the technology and principles of Web 2.0 to gain competitive advantage in a talent acquisition process, they have come to the right place.

Taleo Enterprise Edition 7.5, our latest solution release has just been announced and offers Web 2.0 eRecruiting technologies in addition to dozens of enhancements.
