The History of Social Recruiting [Infographic]

There was once a time when you’d type up your resume on your old fashioned word processor, add a little flair and a unique (but not irresponsible) font and print it out to deliver by hand to a prospective employer.  Those days are long gone, and today’s job hunt is new territory for people on all sides of the fence.  A new infographic looks at the history of social recruiting and provides some startling statistics about how many people are using it — for instance, 49% of employed Americans are looking for new jobs on social networks.

The infographic provided by Jobvite looks at how things changed in the early to mid-2000s as well, and how recruiting has improved dramatically due to the information exchange between employers, potential employees and recruiters themselves.
