Tony Harding our recruitment experts says "A good survey from the IT Job Board, while most commentators accept that Social Networking is fast catching up with that market share, the survey leads to the obvious conclusion: learn how to get recruited via Social Media.

Jobs boards just enabled the same jobs to be seen and applied to by more job seekers, hence increasing job application competition. They are free to the job seekers because the model works for the employer, and tips it against the job seeker compared to the old local newspaper."
