There seemed to be an imbalance here. Now we see more balance coming into play with sites that enable us to access a lot more information about the companies we are looking to join, including their leadership, culture, pay scales and so on which is great. As a hirer we can also find out even more information about potential applicants thanks to the every growing amount of social networking sites. However as you have indicated it is not just about finding out more about the applicants, it is using this information to assist in making the right hiring decision for the company and also for the applicant, that is aligned with their personal needs and career goals. <BR/><BR/>I personally think that this increased transparency is great for employers and job seekers. The one part of the puzzle however that is still to evolve is providing more information in the job ad! This is the link between the two parties yet frequently there is little information available at this point in the recruitment process, which is a constant frustration for most job seekers in particular high salary bracket for Executives and High Salary Earners. They are unlikely to apply for a job that does not include key information they must know such as salary, the employer, key responsibilities, leadership, and benefits and so on. <BR/><BR/>Six Figures, the Executive Job Site www.sixfigures.com.au,<BR/>blog http://blog.sixfigures.com.au/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
