Comment on: Blog Post 'LinkedIn and the Future of Recruiting': and the market view is the more powerful and accurate one (duh). Firms will always need intermediaries because game theory says that input (recruiting fees) that changes game conditions (enforcing asymmetric information among players) is well worth the expense if the changed game conditions are plus-sum for most or all players, which they appear to be. Moving from one tribe to a new tribe is always, always, always going to be a decision and process fraught with emotional and symbolic meanings that technology will be challenged to decode, but which skilled Recruiters handle automatically. Now that we know that Recruiters are not going extinct, I can offer that I think LinkedIn is very disruptive and hugely valuable; so it's both a threat and opportunity to our business. If they offer ATS, they will get a lot of share quickly, esp. with low-complexity users, but an ATS (and I hate that term with a passion) is not just a database by any means, and thinking of ATS as mainly a resume store is a decade out of date. A well used ATS has massive input from its recruiter-users to create/transform data into usable information, in arrays that LinkedIn could never replicate, unless it was providing the platform, which is a business challenge on many levels beyond just providing a tool. If they don't work closely with major ATS companies (who matter because they have major customers), they risk missing chances to add to the value chain, which is never helpful. They also have their own meta worries- if Facebook figures a clean way to provide a "professional" half and a "personal" half, LinkedIn will be the first and biggest casualty. How many online "platforms of record" does an individual need ? If the answer is about "One", LinkedIn better get busy with that value chain. I think the two big lessons LinkedIn reveals today are that work is not social, (per se), and that of all the potential for 'networking' and 'social' media that LinkedIn first started with, clearly Recruiting has become its Raison d'être, which says a good thing about our industry. LinkedIn could have been Facebook, which may change the kool-aid frame when you think about it. I think they should start working, hard, with everyone in the 'sphere to establish themselves as value drivers in each area: candidates, corporations, third-party staffing/recruiting industry, and HR service vendors, because all are interlinked in their own value chains. The right model may be the financial world, which has similar complex crossovers among target value receivers and providers, with LinkedIn potentially a form of exchange or rating entity that seeks to provide value across the board and becomes indispensable by complex connections and arms-length dealings, rather than strict marketing success year-to-year in gathering eyeballs or playing fashionable favorites in deciding which partners to promote and which to suppress. I should have just posted this comment as a blog post itself...maybe I will. I'm kind of bored with blogging, I always liked commenting better. I like editing better than writing too ;-)…; Added by Martin H.Snyder at 1:08pm on November 5, 2010
