Jobing.com Community Relations - Nashville
As part of my job here at Jobing.com I receive a lot of feedback and comments from job seekers. The number one comment lately has been a lack of communication from employers.

by
Peter Weddle,
WEDDLE's
The utility of social media sites as recruiting resources has been challenged by a recent Workforce magazine article on the compliance issues and potential adverse impact of over-relying on them.
