Chicago Sõnumid

Wall Street Journal kirjutab uuest värbamismeetodist. Nimelt on ettevõtted hakanud tööintervjuusid läbi viima virtuaalkeskkonnas Second Life. Seda uut töötajate leidmise moodust on teiste hulgas proovinud näiteks Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard ja Verizon (mobiilside operaator), aga firmade nimekiri pole piiratud ainult tehnoloogiaettevõtete ega noorte IT-inimestega, vaid sisaldab ka näiteks ärikonsultatsioonifirmasid, mis värbavad endale teaduskraadiga töötajaid.

The phenomenon of recruitment on Second Life began with smaller, more-progressive companies that already used the site to market their products. These companies occasionally recruited Second Life users who visited their buildings. Now, other employers — even in stodgier industries — are inviting prospective hires who have never used Second Life to show up in the virtual world and meet with their avatar recruiters. At the recent Bain event, held in a virtual auditorium, the audience was made up of graduate business students who had received summer internship offers but had yet to accept them.
