The world of recruiting has changed. For most employers, gone are the days of the résumé drop box in the lobby, welcoming walk-ins interested in filling out a paper application, or entertaining calls asking to speak to HR about open positions listed in the newspaper.
More often than not, when walking the rows of a career fair or networking at an industry event, you’ll hear the words, “Go apply online.” If you don’t hear those words, a recruiter or company insider might say, “Connect with me on LinkedIn.” The majority of jobseekers are going to go through a technology system or social media hub to get their credentials in front of decision makers and hiring managers.
