Hi folks,

 

What do you think next generation recruitment solutions be? I thought that they would revolve around social networks. However - there so many coming up in that space that there is no fun.

 

So whats your idea?

yes it will be around social networks but again it all depends on the stickiness of those sites. Sites like brijj which was touted as recruitment 2.0 is unable to keep users coming back on its site. Stickiness will pay the key role for such sites.....What you say on how the next generation recruitment should be ?????

Social Networking sites, Web 2.0, RPO Model (Recruitment process Outsourcing), Blogs, Web based, Mobile based plugs (many have been talking about this), Portal with recruiting certified cvs, a site which would have audio video resumes with background checks done by them.... I guess technology would add on more here lets wait and see.

It would be a move from uni-directional to multi-directional recruitment.
The common practice after the interview and the agreement is to do a back ground check of the employee - with the uncertainty about the outcome of the BGC. But these days, some of the recruiters are doing a very good analysis on the background in terms of visiting the prospective candidate's profile on various networking sites and groups like face book, orkut, yahoo, google, linkedin, and may be toostep. They prepare a good case for the candidates so as to give a prediction on the passing of the BGC. 
The initial analysis would yield details of both personal and professional aspect of the candidate. Yes, it does sound like an invasion of privacy, but the fact is it is on the internet for anyone to access and conclude. 
Apart from this, as Sudeep has mentioned, Video Conferencing is one way (I have been interviewed via this means - 2 years ago).
I also read an article in Harvard Business on the move by the Human Genome Project where they were trying to pass a policy where the human DNA should NOT be used to determine superiority of the the employee to hire or fire or promote/demote to other roles & responsibilities. 
With the advent of technology in Behavioral Science, there is no limit to what can be possible.

How about TooStep as the next gen recruitment solution?

I would say that in future most of the HR managers of the company will prefer to have video-conferencing with the job seekers instead of meeting face-to face.
What do you say?

I would also say that the business of social networking will play a major role in recruiting candidates in the future. but as shesh mani rightly said it depends on the ability of those sites to keep the users stick with them.
