Comments on: Notes on Recruiting 2.0 http://blog.ogilvypr.com/2008/04/notes-on-recruiting-20/ An Exploration of What Influences Us Sat, 11 Feb 2012 13:23:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Rachna Hukmani http://blog.ogilvypr.com/2008/04/notes-on-recruiting-20/comment-page-1/#comment-50166 Rachna Hukmani Thu, 03 Dec 2009 22:23:44 +0000 http://blog.ogilvypr.com/?p=343#comment-50166 The good thing about Recruiting 2.0 is, to Chris' point, that it allows potential candidates to be more than just a quintessential resume. Even now, resumes for the most part follow a specific pattern. If an individual is trying to make a change and use their skills differently, social media allows them to do so. For this very reason, I also think that it's a blessing in disguise that looking at individuals skill set takes longer. I for one, have changed how my apply my skill set multiple times and across the globe - and social media has allowed to communicate in a way that just my resume alone never would. Resumes may not have photos of individuals (and rightly so) but Social media definitely puts a face to the individual that allows them to stand apart.

I'm being interviewed by people in digital spaces - where are they online? Being on the opposite side of the fence - looking for a job, I’m always surprised at the lack of online presence.

A one or two page paper resume paints such a small picture of a candidate - albeit with valuable professional information. Just like when David Ogilvy would tirelessly research clients and their markets when designing an advertisement, it is important that employers use the same methods and strategies when researching candidates. These are the ways to build your "company of giants." While Recruiting 2.0 is more time consuming than sorting through a stack of paper resumes, it is time well spent.

No more can blogs just be personal vent space for you never know who might be watching. Which makes it all the more important for people to be wary of what they write while online.
