I agree with Roger Philby on the power of Twitter and LinkedIn when it comes to distributing a message (Social networking calls for ‘blind faith’, 16 June). Using primarily these two tools, I got 600 unique visitors to my recruitment blog, The Savage Truth, in its first five days.

On the question of actually generating quality candidates and making increased profits from social networking, I have mixed feelings.

Call me old fashioned, but web 2.0 is NOT the future of recruiting.
