This means using tactics that help you find good applicants (mining networks) in addition to more traditional tactics like jo boards, which invite any old applicant to chase you # Can we put a face to every name? The web is great for acheiving scale, but it's usually anonymous, which encourages behaviour like submitting thousands of useless job applications. But reputation networks -- built through blogging, social software, etc -- help you get to know people online, which encourages a far higher standard of behaviour. Just a few thoughts. BTW, I wish Blogger wasn't so closed!

Sooner or later these guys are going to work out that if they want to partition a part of the blogosphere from the rest of it, the part the corden off will not grow half as quickly. A few thoughts:
