Interesting point that of the creation of a personal feedback profile, which 'objectivelty' tells us about our own levels of efficacy. Imagine we as individuals decide to share this information with prospective/future employees, so that once we 'hit' a benchmark it immediately means we are 'company xyz' material - I don't want it to get to Orwellian, but I am sure there's better ways to assess and recruit people than the way it currently operates at the mo. Appreciate you stopping by J Thank you Kevin. Interesting point that of the creation of a personal feedback profile, which ‘objectivelty’ tells us about our own levels of efficacy.

Social Networks (I am speaking of interpersonal not the technologies) I believe are still the highest source of quality for business as well as candidate sourcing.

There are huge opportunities, but they require new ways of thinking. You can't use old techniques in these new, social (and socially transparent) mediums. Agree Jorge.
