Could this spell the end for job boards and recruitment agencies?

It is too early to say this BUT one thing is for sure that if jobseekers are not using these tools they are missing out on potential jobs. Quite simply – you will not work for this particualr company as they will not find you or you will not know about their jobs.

If you are a jobseekers and you have not already set up a Linkedin Profile I suggest you do it now. Linked in is fast becoming a must use resource for jobseekers. If you want an idea how to set up hte content of your profile view Paul Mullan Linkedin Profile – Career & Outplacement Expert
