There has been a lot of hype about Web 2.0 Recruiting. Some claim it is how the future of recruiting will evolve, some that it’s just a fad. This webinar will explore the good and the bad. Kevin [Wheeler] will use case studies and examples to show how organizations are benefiting from elements of Web 2.0, and how blogs, social networks, and even email and SMS can make you a more effective recruiter.

There will be plenty of time for comments and Q&A, so bring your questions and best practices to share.
