The HR Capitalist claims that the internet has made recruiters into sissies.
Between 2004 and 2006 everyone had an email account and checked it regularly. All that you, as a recruiter, had to do was email a job description to potential candidates and you would hear back from them toot sweet.
Since 2007 everyone has more than one email address. And the email addresses on their old resumes are rarely checked so you have to track old candidates down by phone.
But after the internet has protected you from direct contact with the public for a few years, you find that you've been transformed into a shy and delicate little wimp. What should you do? Man up and get on the phone. Once you get a few cold calls under your belt, you won't feel so frightened.
