This a good piece over at ERE regarding consumer and employment branding and how often both aren’t in sync with each other.

A great video shared by Sirona Says regarding recruiting’s “perfect storm.” A lot to consider in the video, and I agree that many organizations (and recruiters) are still not embracing social media as a viable recruitment tool.
