I tend to agree with them.

Despite the wealth of legal concerns about using any information gleaned through second-party channels, time well spent by recruiters on social networking sites can provide a wealth of information on potential candidates that may or may not be obvious in traditional settings.

I agree that we miss the mark on monetizing great hires. I think there is also a correlation of how we treat prospects during the recruiting process and their behaviors as consumers of our products/services. Great work (as always).

I'm surprised the article didn't delve into the new media more deeply and how basic marketing techniques (ie, branding) directly apply to talent acquisition -- especially when almost all of the Steps are marketing 101. Social media are simply MEDIA and as such, need to be worked into the mix whether you're marketing a product or recruiting.

Many times the "facts & figures" can open doors for implementing new strategies/methods.
