The rage in Recruiting right now is leveraging social media. Leveraging it to find people, to attract people and to engage people. To create your own brand and your own following. This is important, but it's not new. Every day I hear about people in the recruiting business "thinking about trying LinkedIn" and "trying to learn more about Twitter". If you're one of these people, you're behind. Actually, you're way behind. Actually, you're ridiculously behind. Actually, you might as well quit.
While you're pondering these resources, others are using them. Others are taking their recruiting to other levels you haven't even thought of yet (and probably won't adopt) with different tools, different techniques, etc. Keep thinking of trying something new. While you're thinking, others are doing and beating you every day.
You won't notice it for a while. Your old honey pots are slowly drying up and the returns on your effort are diminishing. Someone is ahead of you right now. They'll be further ahead of you tomorrow. Several other people will be ahead of you the next day. Are you ok with that? You shouldn't be.
