Resumes are bad for business | John Fleischauer | TEDxKanata

A resume is simply a piece of paper. A piece of paper that attempts to capture the essence of a person, in just a few pages. How can we approach this differently....how can we recruit people, not through pieces of paper, but learning who they actually are.
John Fleischauer is a professional speaker and a senior member of Halogen Software talent acquisition team. As the worlds only Recruitment and Talent Magician, he is an expert at using LinkedIn as a professional resource, and an evangelist of social tools and talent branding as a way of achieving tangible and positive outcomes.
