Is the future bright for Web 2.0?
Without doubt the way people recruit and hunt for jobs is changing rapidly. Job seekers have greater access to more jobs, and, recruiters have greater access to more candidates.
But does all this change mean that employers will more easily find more of the right candidates to fill job posts and that job seekers will more easily find the right jobs to help them lead a fulfilling career?

But what will happen when Google and Microsoft provide Word or equivalent as a free web based package. At that point, it would mean that pretty much every CV becomes web based, indexed and searchable, assuming of course permission is granted. But permission of course will be very simple and in some cases, people will not even consider the implications of this. Google and Microsoft will I am sure make sure that people do not make personal information public but by doing this, people will become more trusting – and so they should!!
So, we move from X million to X zillion CV’s available on the web. This then creates two recruiting opportunities.
Recruiters will be able to do more searching and find genuine passive candidates.
The search engines will be able to match jobs to people in lots of ways.
Say for example you are happy for Google to market your details for very specific job related searches by recruiters. We could end up with Poogle, the (vertical) people search engine [OK, it’s a crap name], complete with Adwords that show best-matched people. And maybe the recruiter will have to pay to click on the ads; maybe the person will pay to market themselves. Maybe the recruiter pays to download contact details only once they have seen further details; a myriad of options as ever.
Much talk about Web 2.0, many opinions about what will happen, but plenty of ideas from many places.

How are we utilizing Reference as part of Recruitment

We all take /use references at every point of our recruitment cycle, not mandatory some times reference works most times reference may not be suitable on the requirements we handle.. But we always keep it aside , one option is try to connect them on LinkedIn  and keep them share your opportunities to them or message them on LinkedIn when possible .. i always use it for niche skills hiring /Leadership hiring.... Please dont expect immediate results but once you get profile you dont need to worry that he/she will join and not to worry about caliber of the  profile as he /she will recommend the person he is trust worthy  and on the disclaimer sense some people wont join due to valid or genuine reasons that you could always write too.. When doing Background checks, that is huge pool of data we miss , is better to take details of their reporting managers and maintain separate pool , it is not wrong but wise way of working through challenging positions it sure to help .That is huge s

Internet Sourcing Technique -Flip Search Technique

Internet Sourcing Techniques The search strings for each of these search engines will vary and therefore to maximize your search please do read the tutorials in advance from the respective search engines site. What techniques to use and when and under what circumstances to use will depend on how well you master each techniques. To achieve optimum success one must also have a fairly good idea about the recruitment industry, the specific job requirement, the key words within the requirement and also differentiate the "mandatory skills" from "good to have skills." Some of the most common internet search techniques are as given below. X-RAYING: A method of looking inside a specific web site to find what's there. Using this technique, recruiters can find documents and web pages that aren't directly accessible via links on the main public home page. When you 'x-ray' a website, you effectively get to examine every document that resides there so long as they

SIMPLE BOOLEAN SEARCH FOR TECHNICAL RECRUITERS

This Boolean search strategies is being offered for free to enable technical recruiters to more effectively mine the Monster resume databases. CAUTION: The concepts below also apply to other databases, but NOT all Boolean search engines were created equally. Some require that AND/OR be in all caps (Monster do not). Some don’t even use ‘and/or’, but use ‘+/-’ instead. I need to really stress this point, I. THE ROLE OF PARENTHESES IN BOOLEAN SEARCHES It makes a difference how you group the numbers below by putting in parentheses: 1+2x2=$5 million? $6 million? 1+(2x2)=5 Here we did the “multiply” first, and then the “add”…..Multiply is similar to “and” (1+2)x2=6 Here we did the “add” first, and then the multiply. ”Addition” is similar to “or” Parentheses will help us group search terms for effective searches II. EXAMPLES OF WRITING A BOOLEAN EQUATION JavaScript or C++ and SQL ?????, without parentheses or a ‘rule’ that says do “and” first & then “or”, or vice versa JavaScri
