Google - In SPACE
An example of the "New School Recruiter" and Web 2.0?

Just when job descriptions were simple, we found Google was hiring...for a newly created position,...in Space!

Ok, so I admit it, Google is cool...but how can we transform this cool, into something useable in our daily lives?

What is the next big technology revolution (as part of our HR Revolution) that will actually fundamentally change how we find jobs, how we find people, and how we connect the work with the workforce? Some say Web 2.0 is the next revolution - and I think conceptually it makes sense, but is this really the next step? or Is technlogy still far apart and far beyond one direction. Let's take CD and DVD formats - there's Blue Ray and then there are two or three others (can the world really live with 3 types of DVD formats???) - anyway, what is the next big technological breakthrough? and are these breakthroughs the same for "Job Seeker" and "Job Provider"?

How far should a company go to make a new hire happy? Is having pets in the office, like in the dot-com days, a trend once again? What about afternoon naps?

How deep of a role should community, family, and friends play in a candidates decision making process - concerning whether or not to pursue, join, or accept an offer from a perspective organization?

There is a subtle revolution going on in HR - "Old School HR Practitioners" are fighting "New School HR Practitioners", marketers are playing a vital role in the way we recruit, there are thousands of job boards, every job board partners with every other job board, laws are changing and pose great costs, burdens and challenges, technology is changing by the minute, new web sites pop-up everyday and claim to be the next big thing, social-networking sites want to take over the world, the workforce is global, dynamic, diverse, aging, getting smarter, wanting more, less patient - and recruiters are getting pressed to make a hire "yesterday" - so where does the revolution begin, and where does it end?
