Another Facebook warning for you hapless worker bees. Sneak has discovered that recruiters are increasingly turning to social networking sites to find their next batch of bright young things. According to research by the Association of Technology Staffing Companies (ATSCo), over half of recruitment consultants said these sites were more useful than ads in printed titles, citing the special interest groups as a great way to head hunt candidates. Which is probably true, as long as your special interest group is not “if you don’t like Macaque monkeys, you’re probably not worth knowing”, or “chocolate Banjos – what went wrong?”.
