Indeed there was a time not so long ago where there wasn’t a Smartphone, ATS, or even the CLOUD.   Back in the day a lot of us used Fax Machines, and Gigantic Rolodexes.  How have the times changed for you?  Are you still an Old School, New Skool or a little of both?

Are you an Old School or New School Recruiter?

In Old School recruiting the majority of recruiting was done via Newspaper Classified jobs.   Roughly 80% of all companies no longer use the Classifieds as a place to source or fill their job openings.   The New Skool approach is through use of Social Networking with nearly 89% of companies utilizing some sort of social networking platform for their recruiting needs.
