This document discusses how social media has transformed talent recruitment. It notes that 95% of companies use LinkedIn to find and contact employees, more than other social platforms. This represents a shift from 10 years ago when recruitment relied on job boards, databases, and paper resumes. Social media allows for open access to passive candidates and performance-based models. It argues that LinkedIn in particular has become the largest business ecosystem worldwide, providing professional visibility, business relationships, and unmatched data that keeps the job search always on.
