About Jim's presentation at OnRec
Today’s recruiters have at their fingertips an expansive array of online resources for identifying and investigating potential candidates. While the social networks, search engines, wikis and online communities of the world are valuable tools that every recruiter should have in their toolbox, it takes finesse, agility and know-how to truly maximize their potential.

In this session, Jim Fowler, CEO and co-founder of Jigsaw, a leading provider of business information and data services that uniquely leverages user-generated content, will reveal tips for managing the recruiting 2.0 landscape.

Fowler will both identify these resources that deliver on the value of social, on-demand, up-to-date online information and also demonstrate the power of leveraging that quick, direct Web 2.0 connection in order to hone in on and connect with top talent.
