And Jason's got a great example of a recruiting network on Ning, and Dennis' blog is a great example of leveraging blogging for a recruiting business as well. We're trying to help SMEs with many of these issues by offering a simple, inclusive package - you can blog, post video, leverage social media principles & tools - in a recruiting-centric way. I think we'll see more tools like this in the future, that let companies package these things more simply, so companies don't have to setup a blog, figure out YouTube, and so forth...using a variety of disparate services which can be more time consuming and confusing.

You provide a lot of compelling reasons why recruiters who are not utilizing social media, should reconsider. I've been blogging for almost 4 years, and there's certainly more folks on that bandwagon today, versus 4 years ago. But I'm still surprised that more recruiters are hesitating. I believe it will be commonplace in a few years (maybe sooner) for recruiters to have their toolkits filled with social media tools. While many are waiting to determine the ROI, others are benefiting. Nice post! Dennis Excellent article, Donald!
