Hardly a week goes by without the announcement of some promising, brand new, social-recruiting-app-platform. No one has built a killer app just yet.
Here's one announced just today> http://www.marketwatch.com/story/smartrecruiters-revolutionizes-how-companies-find-and-hire-great-people-with-the-next-generation-of-its-hiring-platform-2014-07-15 http://www.marketwatch.com/story/smartrecruiters-revolutioni...
> So how to make this process easier? The best method is still a bit Old School. On a regular basis, reach out to your network, actually talk to people live, catch up over beers. The accumulated personal insights will be deeper and more profound than a mere online connection.
- vsergiu 12y agoThat is the point...I only asked for an app that can tell me if X is available so I can call him and grab a beer and talk. The point is I want to know which of my friends or friends of my friends are available in order to talk him because I do not want to start calling everyone from my list and ask my friends to also ask their friends..and maybe I miss someone this way..also is time consuming and not fun having to call people just to bug them if they are available if they are not. Makes sense?
