<p>As an recruiting software vendor I like this article. I believe it makes a valid point. To paraphrase Mark Twain once said. ‘The stories of the death internal databases and referrals have been greatly exaggerated’.</p>
<p>This is the “Achilles Heel” of media hype.</p>

<p>THANK YOU - as a vendor of an ATS it's refreshing to see a post about the value of building and WORKING one's internal database for referrals and sourcing. We keep hearing that that job board is "dead" and the resume is "dead" - but the truth is recruiting requires the right MIX of tools, media, and resources - building a database for CRM (C for Candidates and Clients) has been and ALWAYS will be the number one resource for sales and recruiting.</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing your data.</p>
<p>I personally consider internal databases and social recruitment go hand in hand. For a database to function properly, new information needs to be added periodically to keep the the database up-to-date. Social recruitment tools help recruiters to source candidates, interact, and learn about their most recent projects and skill sets.</p>

<p>I am sure there are ways for recruiters to update their databases as well. But social recruitment tools allow recruiters to have a further reach to candidates outside of their current network. Social recruitment tools help expand your reach to more job candidates. Going back to Peter's point, there is no silver bullet in recruitment. Instead of using only one type of recruitment tool, recruiters should incorporate the newer social recruitment tools into their existing solutions for the best result. Please share your experience with me.</p>

<p>I agree with everything you said except about Linkedin. It pretty much nails the recruiting workflow and if you know how to use it, and your candidates are professionals, you really don't need an internal database. </p>

<p>Thanks Peter, thought it was nice to see some "real life" information! Question - is there any statistics kept on where the candidates in your database originally came from?</p>
