Key points

Recruitment is a process that requires a lot of time and can be very inefficient. Social Media such as Facebook and LinkedIn are changing this, as people can use their personal and professional networks to look for jobs
London is a fantastic location to be in as a recruitment company; there are more HR Directors in London than anywhere else in the world, and there is fantastic access to the European as well as the UK talent pool
Through increased use of Social Networks, it is possible for employers and job seekers to interact, enabling employers to train potential candidates before they recruit them
Internet based businesses have no borders. As borders for recruitment are also being removed, recruitment via social networks is a naturally global business
Lucian feels that when you consider the number of people who are not employed, under-employed or who do not have the level of education they are capable, there is a huge potential highly skilled workforce, and companies should look to provide training in order to be able to recruit
