In the 21st century the double-time march of recruiting technology skyrocketed, building a techno-swamp populated with endless ideas of how to connect work and people through smartphones, wonder tablets, apps, and social media for virtual networking.You're competing in a new world of work out there. If your job search is treading water -- or even drowning-- there's a better way. Make a splash Engage hiring authorities through a communications-centered campaign with smart content.
