This post reminded me of a recent Nick Corcodilos article:
The reason the labor market seems less efficient is because applicant tracking systems (ATS) and job boards fail to match job applicants to jobs, and instead, stimulate phony recruiting activity by human resources (HR) departments. The employment system is now clogged with so much crud spawned by these databases that even Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen is confused. ATS databases like LinkedIn and Oracle’s Taleo — these darlings of the stock market — are making it more difficult for employers to hire. http://www.pbs.org/newshour/making-sense/ask-headhunter-recr...
One piece of technology-- often overlooked, good old-fashioned phone conversation. Sadly, a dying art.
