RECRUITMENT FOCUS: Embrace technology but not at expense of all else

Recruitment agencies have shifted their focus away from traditional recruitment methods in the hope of keeping ahead of the curve. Candidates are working tirelessly to add to their ever expanding repertoire of online profiles. If everyone is doing it it must be better, right? In my humble opinion – no!

Over the last number of years the recruitment industry has seen some big changes with technology moving at a breakneck speed which has left many recruiters struggling to keep up.

No surprise then that not a day goes by that I don’t read about a new app or website or toolbar add on that is going to help me reach more candidates.
