In what ways do you see social media impacting the hiring process in the future?

I see it as already having a massive disruption impact in that the traditional database of a recruiter is now online, and organisations are looking for faster and easier ways to hire through using online channels.

I see response channels between candidate and employer being faster and faster, and tools being used in more creative ways rather than employers using passive adverts.

Longer term, I see people's online data being mined, analyzed, and matched against employers and role requirements. This is happening already with sites that aggregate people's information, but this will become far more sophisticated.

I see more and more skills marketplaces where employers demand flexibility by the saudi arabia phone number resource job and by the hour. So work is becoming more transactional - like the elance model, where people bid on single jobs and projects. The challenge will be for employers to retain top talent to grow, and for people looking for jobs to brand themselves beyond the price they charge and have to compete on if they place themselves in a marketplace as such.
