How is digital effecting the recruitment industry?
It made my job an awful lot easier. Everything from LinkedIN being recruiters best friend, a free database as such, to being able to look at peoples blogs, you can really sound out the candidate, before you have even met them, before you have approach them, just by what’s on the web. Which is why it’s important to use it correctly if you are a candidate.
For candidates:
People really need to be careful about what the y do and they don’t put online. There is stuff you would want a potential dream employer of yours to see. Get that online. The other personal stuff, go on an do what you want in your social life, but keep it on Facebook private profile. From a candidate point of view it can be such a good asset, but you have to get a right mix of what’s out in the public domain and what you keep private.

Why don’t you speak about the true Facebook private politics ? It’s absolutely impossible to delete an account !! They collect all your datas and will never delete them… Personnaly, i just hate FB.
@Anne – I am sure they do state that fact in the Facebook terms and conditions that you have to agree to to open a Facebook account.
