Resumes and interviews have not changed a whole lot, but sourcing has, and there’s a big need for recruiters to get up to speed. I believe that all companies, especially large corporations, need either to help recruiters to learn web sourcing skills, or hire sourcers, or do both. If you “post and prey” you might still be just fine but not for too long.
I will be presenting the basics of Internet-based candidate search in a webinar on Friday. Here is a partial list of corporations whose employees have signed up. Look how much interest there is in acquiring web sourcing skills. (So far we have 600+ sign-ups from 350+ companies.)
