Reference Check 2.0: How Digital Social Networking is Transforming the Selection Process
by Yves Lermusi
Yves has been around for a long, long time. In 1997 Yves Lermusi founded iLogos, a leading research and consulting firm covering online human capital management trends and best practice methodologies, which was acquired by Taleo in 1999. Lermusi spent 7 years at Taleo (TLEO) as President of Taleo Research. He founded Checkster in 2006. Checkster leverages the latest technology and research in expert performance and neuroscience.
He has written a book that examines the benefits of search and digital social networks in the process of finding and hiring top talent. And as George says, "it is a must read."

What can we learn from them in order to run our organizations better and only hire top performers? This book will show you what you can learn from these two core applications in order to transform your selection process and reach the highest hiring and internal promotion success you ever had. "
