Once upon a time, MySpace was the social media darling of the internet before Facebook took over. Now, it seems that the bell is tolling for Facebook due to its ever-shrinking stock price. Its not unusual these days to read about the pending death knell of Facebook. Check out the article below as an example…
I thought that was interesting and my eyebrows raised more than a little bit. If MySpace is still popular (at least, on some levels), would I still be able to source some passive candidates from it? Hmm… I did a search and again, I was surprised by what I found. When I did a search for software developers on MySpace, I found 18,200. (See below)
Who out there is still using MySpace to source passive candidates? I would LOVE to hear from you if so.
