Size Matters – How big is your network?

As the Credit Crunch continues, the strength of your business network will become increasingly important as redundancies (think UBS, Citi, Merrill Lynch – Goldman's even) increase and competition for fewer jobs intensifies.


More competition for jobs, means employers have more applications to sort and filter candidates to a level that they can handle at the interview stage. To handle screening and selection workloads employers are involving their employees – the people who know what it takes to be successful at the company – to filter candidate applications.

Boost your chances of interview and job offer by applying for jobs direct via Moles. Don't need a job?

"Employee Referral Schemes: A Strategic Recruiting Imperative" lays down our vision for employee referral schemes and what has to change in order for everyone - candidates, employees and employers - to fully realise the potential benefits of employee referral.

Your thoughts and comments are welcome.
