The document summarizes key findings from a survey of 262 HR professionals on recruiting trends in 2009:
1. Traditional job boards were still sourcing the largest percentage of hires but resources were being shifted away from job boards and staffing agencies and toward other sources like professional and social networks.
2. Building a strong talent pool was seen as a key priority, with two-thirds of teams focusing on improving recruiting efficiency.
3. Utilizing social networks, particularly LinkedIn, was viewed as one of the most essential long-term trends in recruiting.
