CLOUD RECRUITING

Cloud-The destination of recruiters??????????

The answer to the question is "YES"

There was a time when everyone were relying on the job portals and employee referrals for recruiting talented professionals.Gone are the traditional ways of recruiting.

"Recruitment has moved to clouds"
                                                 Michael Marlatt.


Cloud recruiting involves shifting our attention from the transactional activities on which we have traditionally relied to fill requisitions to a new focus on relationships
                                                                 Peter Weddle


A recruiter can no longer rely on job boards and employee referrals.


He has to go for blogging, professional and social networking sites and many more
One of my friend mentioned he can recruit even through youtube, I know many would be surprised.
This is the reality, we have to focus on cloud recruiting - explore all avenues and choose the best one!!
When the word professional networking sites comes to my mind, I can just think of Linkedin, infact the one genuine  site which still gives option for free job postings.


We all should be thankful to Michael Marlatt - the genius behind cloud recruiting, he helped us to understand recruitment is just not confined to portals, there is a world of networking which everyone should make use of in order to build one's database which is the recruiters' ultimate goal.
