More Proof of the Importance of Networking

CareerXRoads recently released their 7th annual Source of Hire whitepaper. The whitepaper examines how 300,000 new employees were sourced in 2007. Close to 30% of all new hires were sourced through referrals from existing employees, vendors, and alumni. According to the results of the survey, referrals are the #1 method for finding external hires and every third referral turned into a hire. This is just more proof of the importance of building a robust network as part of your career management strategy. Read more about the survey here.
