最近ではプロのハンター達が採用候補をマイスペースやフェースブック、そしてLinkedinで見つけ、そこから電話やE-メールで適正を調べるそうです。人物調査のためのコネクションは知り合いの輪を見ればよいし、確かに便利です。

Professional recruiters have started hunting for job candidates using social networking technology -- like the kind found on the popular sites MySpace and Facebook.
Maureen Crawford-Hentz recruits for Osram Sylvania, the global lighting company. She says the new tools have changed her life.
"Social networking technology is absolutely the best thing to happen to recruiting -- ever."
One of Crawford-Hentz's favorite sites is Linkedin, a network of 8 million professionals spread across the world. Linkedin says users include executives from all of the Fortune 500 companies. Typing keywords into a search engine, Crawford can scrape the entire network to dig out high-quality candidates that she can't find elsewhere.
