Hi Divya,
I completely agree with Mahesh that Social networking sites will play a major role in Recruitment/Staffing process, the only thing that we need to understand what is our requirement and based on which how should we use the sites.
Thanks Mahesh for sharing few of the links.

Hi Divya,
I agree with the other panelist. Based on my experience I have seen that most recruiters scan through the LinkedIn profile of candidates, especially for senior positions.
Also social networking sites provides you with job leads. Join the groups of your interest on these sites and you will be getting regular job posting.

I do agree with Mahesh... Mode of Recruitment differs at each stage. Earlier we have traditional way of recruiting, then comes e- recruiting, now we are into mobile recruiting... Most of people use social websites and using that we could recruit candidates soon. That too people have access to internet to their mobile and its even easier to attract a pool of candidates via social networking....
Thank you so much Mahesh for the valuable links...
