Although we are undoubtedly in a recruitment transition, it is inaccurate and overly presumptuous to assume that job boards are, or will become, redundant. Job boards are still the first point of contact for a large majority of Job Seekers and to be absent from this sphere would undoubtedly diminish many employers chances of finding relevant and quality candidates.
From my experience in the recruitment industry, one of the main problems employers have with social networking sites, particularly those with CV databases or candidate profiles, is that information is often outdated and too much time can be wasted tracking down individuals who have long since found work.

Recruitment Consultants from Employment Office- an Australian recruitment solutions company- are quick to point out the advantages of targeted advertising as an ideal recruitment process. Instead of posting your advertisement on all-industry job boards, try sector specific websites.

For example, niche online job board http://www.bluecollar.com.au is becoming increasing popuarl with both Australian Job Seekers and Employers, because it not only offers a platform for visitors to browse related opportunities with multiple companies, but also tends to attract candidates who are experienced and interested in the Blue Collar sector.

Today there are multiple ways to recruit- so embrace social networking tools, but don’t limit your opportunity to network friendly, Gen-Y users.
