Online Dating Applied to HR Technology
Sometimes there’s a post so thought provoking it just begs to be blogged: In my last post I wrote that online dating services would show us where online recruiting was headed. I believe this to be the case because they are both expressions of the same basic problem: how do I find a person who…
