virtual worlds, real recruiting

I quickly reported on Second Life (SL) and recruitment in this post. I then read that Hyro had already set up a careers centre in SL. And yesterday I hear about Outback Online via the Herald, a virtual world Aussie project which is meant to leave SL, well, in second place.
As with most talent sourcing and attraction, it is always about the appropriateness of the channel to communicate and engage with the people you want and need. Hyro being in the online services space (design, development, etc) may just be able to tap into a crowd of professionals who just don’t go to job boards or look at the paper ads to find a career.
In any case, let me know if you want to team up to put on the first human talent sourcing operation at Outback
