“There is a shift in recruitment best practices occurring right now,” said Jim Sullivan, JCSI’s founder and president. “Companies are finding that it is far more productive to reach high quality candidates with online research and social media networking. This requires recruiting teams to develop new skills to communicate with potential candidates in their own online communities.”

More proof that you need an personal brand/presence online. Additionally, the study points out that recruiters are relying more heavily on social media to find recruits because of less resources, money, and time to spend on the hiring process. They want to hire new employees as quick and efficiently as possible.
