From Abstract to Mainstream
The internet is commonly shown on computer network diagrams as a cloud. That simple abstract conceals the web’s complex infrastructure suggesting something that is always forming and changing shape.
The term “cloud computing” refers to the “anytime, anywhere, any device” access to applications and data that is possible today, enabled by the ever-changing “cloud.”
The term “cloud recruiting” is not meant to mean one thing for geek-recruiters and another for industry vendors and sloganeers. It refers to how recruiters can be better served by today’s technology and its application, truly a derivative of cloud computing. It’s as simple as that.
So, if cloud recruiting refers to “Anytime, Anywhere, Any Device” access and its application to the work of finding, attracting, hiring and retaining workers online, this blog is intended to help shed some light to our understanding of how our world has changed.
