Cost of online recruting?

Joel Cheesman has some interesting thoughts around using web analytics to help develop recruitment metrics. Great idea!

Joel sees Google's purchase of Urchin as a step in the right direction.

I agree with Joel's view of both the recruiter and ATS's in this matter. Most recruiters do not understand what can be done with technology and most ATS vendors just seem to have their head in the sand when it goes to forward thinking changes.

It will be interesting to see where things go.
