This document discusses the rise of social recruiting and how recruiters are increasingly using social media platforms like LinkedIn and Facebook to find and hire candidates. It notes that 78% of recruiters have hired someone through social media networks. While social recruiting provides advantages for both job seekers and recruiters to connect, share opportunities, and make referrals, it also has some disadvantages to consider. As digital technologies continue to evolve, so too will the ways people network and how companies conduct recruiting online.
