The CV is Dead…

...At least that's according to LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman who claims they are now a redundant part of the jobseeking and hiring process, thanks to the rapidly growing presence of his own site's online profile versions. And almost dead, but not quite yet, according to the omnipresent HR influencer / guru…

The Whiteboard’s (Alternative) Recruitment Predictions for 2012

Hmmm, there seem to be rather a lot of predictions for 2012 wafting around the social media blogosphere in recent days. How on earth is one to know what to do with themselves as the impending end of 2011 looms ever closer? How can one prepare for the trials and tribulations…

Sourcing is no longer a Job…it’s a Vocation
