It's all about Digital Recruitment

When LinkedIn and online job applications first began to gain traction, they were seen as supplements to the traditional paper resume and in-person interview. Today, the world of recruiting has gone 100% digital.

Twenty years ago, the resume was a piece of paper. Now, it's a collection of all candidate data that can be found online, like participation in online communities, conferences and meet-ups. The use of social networks and other digital profiles as candidates search tools has opened up a much wider talent pool for recruiters to draw form, but the time it takes to do that research could end up taking hiring managers away from their most important task: actually hiring.

Big Data Treatment can help recruiters quickly and easily locate the best people for the job. Cloud-based hiring tools will allow recruiters and hiring managers to easily and affordably find, evaluate and organize top job candidates. Data analytics may help recruiters discover which passive candidates are better to approach.

While digital tools will never fully replace the human instinct necessary for identifying the right candidates. We need to take the advantage of the new tools and resources that allow us to move beyond THE RESUME.
