Do you think you can be an effective recruiter without the internet? This was the question posed by recruitment consultancy TMP Worldwide at its fringe meeting at CIPD’s annual conference in Harrogate last week. Delegates were asked the question at the start of the seminar, and again at the end. At the beginning, 45 per cent said yes, while 55 per cent said no. This was followed by a debate and a question and answer session about the use of the internet in recruitment.
At the end of the session, the question, can you be an effective recruiter without the internet?, was repeated: 26 per cent said yes, while 74 per cent said no.
