Career Connection Network CEO to Publish Book Social Media as a Recruiting Strategy; Winning the War for Passive Talent

Princeton Junction, NJ – March 20, 2008 –www.bloggingsystems.com - The forthcoming book Social Media as a Recruiting Strategy written by Career Connection Network CEO, Richard Nacht, provides guidance on winning the war for passive talent.

McKinsey, The Organizational Challenges of Global Trends, reported in December of 2007 that fifty percent of business leaders expect that intensified competition for recruiting talent will have a major effect on their companies over the next five years.

“No other global trend was considered nearly as important” said Nacht quoting the report.

McKinsey first reported on its War for Talent research ten years ago and it notes in the current report that the problem remains acute – and if anything it has become worse.

At the same time, 2008 has been deemed the year of Social Media. Social media is already considered a highly valued source by the recruiting industry, but the industry has not yet widely implemented social media for successful recruiting. Nacht’s Career Connection Network, a division of Blogging Systems, is at the forefront of providing Fortune 500 companies with online solutions to social media implementation for recruiting purposes.
