Just saw this on Seth Godin's blog. Thought maybe Joel would tell us how the convergence of Google Talk, Chat, Gmail and IP telephony would put us just one click away from any candidate, anywhere, anytime. With respect to the "put in a phone number and we'll call you" scenario - I could only see that working in recruitment if Joel was on your side: your key word targeting would have to be pretty amazing to not end up wasting a lot of time. But it's worth some discussion.
PS - Great piece on Seth's blog about The Culture of Dissatisfaction. We are all experiencing the downside of this everyday in the recruiting world (how much turnover is the failure of the corporation and how much is a congenital "Grass is Greener" problem?). Coupled with kids bringing their parents to interviews.... pretty interesting world we live in.
