TOOLS & TECHNIQUES The Future of Recruiting is in the Cloud |
Our world continues to evolve in ways that defy simple explanation. The advancement of web technology is re-shaping our society as we know it. We have become untethered from our desktops, and in many instances, the workplace. We have seen the migration from desktop-to-webtop, wired-to-wireless, our activities and experiences increasingly "virtual". For recruiters, trying to make sense of it all, change is happening at a rate of speed that blurs comprehension.
Today, Web 2.0 users are savvier than ever before and not only creating and consuming data on their computers but also on their mobile devices. According to GSM World, 2.4 billion mobile devices were sold around the world in 2007, and globally there are more mobile phones than PCs. While Social Media platforms continue to dominate our attention, there are nearly 50 million members in "mobile social communities" and that is expected to reach 174 million by 2011. Translation: It's time to consider a mobile recruiting strategy.
It's clear, ubiquitous access to data, software services, cloud computing, and mobile apps are helping to level the playing field. The question is, are we leveraging this advantage? As we look to the future and consider our next-generation recruiting strategy, it's critical we step out of our comfort zone and go beyond legacy thinking.
So what's next? Are we entering another tech-bubble? Is recruiting really moving to the clouds? What exactly is "cloud recruiting" and how does this impact me? Is the future laptop or mobile?
We invite you to join this session as we explore these perplexing questions, as well as discuss how the convergence of Software as a Service (SaaS), Cloud Computing, and Mobile 2.0 is fundamentally altering the recruiting landscape.
