@ Bill: I think a combination of well thought candidate/recruiter-friendly automation and the use of $3.00/hr Virtual Candidate Care Reps would do the job nicely.

I agree there is lots of room for innovation in the recruiting industry. However, you have to find the right balance between automation and the human touch. Otherwise, its just a slicker version of a job board. If someone figures this out, it will be a real game changer.

Thanks, Todd and John. Maybe it’s my poor old brain seizing up from lack of use, but I couldn’t quite follow what the folks from Booyango meant: “almost 80% of the professional market where their information is hard to find online due to lack of privacy.” Do they mean “the almost 80% of the professional market where their information is hard to find online BECAUSE of privacy”? LACK of privacy should make things EASIER to find…. Are they referring to “Ye Olde Hidden Job Market” that people have been talking about “fer on nar 30 yeer or more”? Maybe these folks are too young to have heard of it….

Cheers,

Keith
