		<description>Yes, yes a thousand times yes. Applications have such a low hit rate that it&#039;s just ridiculous to invest that much effort. CV and covering letter. Long form with compatibly questions in the context of the job AND a covering letter is what interviews are for. It&#039;s already a very asymmetric relationship, on the employer happily wasting the applicants time, in the first place.</description>

		<description>Job searching is really strating to be conducted mostly in the internet. Social media platforms are merging leisure and work. I am not sure wether it is good or bad, but it seems inevitable - so we better embrace it :) Companies also benefit, since talented people have a bigger arena to show and advertise their skills.

Not many people are properly trained in how to behave in the social media environment and many messages miss the targeted audience. I think that a proper set of social media training should be mandatory for a recruiter or a manager.</description>

		<description>It is a give and take relationship for the both parties. Yes, there are plenty of ways to motivate your staff but the important thing is to treat them right. Plus, it isn&#039;t surprising that money is a motivator for people now, I mean this is what people need, for goods and services. Maybe when the crisis is over then that will be the time that they will have a different outlook/motivations.</description>

		<description>interesting article but is it still up-to-date ?

Have heard about recruiters who examine candidates profiles in Linkedin, FB and Twitter.

The time proved us that Google+ cant beat Facebook.. Good try but could reach the popularity of Mark Zuckerberg&#039;s social network</description>
