Page 2 of 2 Blogging tools also enable customers to engage with job seekers to provide an insight into the culture of their organisation. On the job seeker side, the recruitment business in Australia is still predominantly married to the job boards as a source of candidates. But this will change. Overseas, referral networking sites are gaining momentum. If people refer someone they know to a vacant position - and that person is successful in getting that job - the referee receives a reward. Incentives are combining with social networking in the recruitment world. So where is e-recruitment and talent management heading in the future? Employers will be more transparent and authentic about who they are as an organisation and how they communicate with potential job seekers. Job seekers are well armed with information about an organisation and this has to be reflected in how employers present to job seekers on their websites. Social networking will become an essential part of the recruitment arena. The internet will be used more as a networking tool in recruitment - as it should be. Web 3.0 will arrive and will vastly improve the accessibility of the internet again. This will further extend the power of mobile (hand held) devices as they move towards becoming mobile laptops with full wireless multi-media capabilities. The internet will continue to evolve. We will see Web 3.0, Web 4.0 and more as we make progress in technologies that allow us to improve our access to the web and deliver more content faster. With these developments come more opportunities. Mike Giuffrida, CEO of NGA.NET |
