1960's Recruiting in 2016!

 
“Remember the 1960’s? Well, there are two generations – and currently a third generation (who are becoming teenagers as we speak), who don’t.

If you were a candidate, there were three primary ways for you to find a job.

1) Complete an application, drop it off with the Personnel Department, and hope the company called you.
2) Become known as a contributor in your current company and be recruited by a recruiter or someone within another company who knows your impacts.
3) Network with people who could help introduce you to another company – “It’s not what you know. It’s who you know!” became a mantra.

If you were the Personnel Department, you ran a newspaper ad and waited for responses, looked at them, decided if they were a potential fit and either interviewed them or filed their resume in a file drawer. You reached out to a trusted third party recruiter or opened the job up for every 3rd party recruiter to submit resumes.”
