For proof that recruiting has entered a new era, one need look no further than an exceptionally novel internship application submitted this summer by Shawn McTigue. This playful 2:50 video by Shawn was a response to Mastercard’s call for applicants to creatively promote the benefits of a “cashless society.” It was his take on the “something creative” all interns were required to link to as part of the application. The rest of the process involved engaging on MasterCard‘s Facebook page, uploading a resume via LinkedIn, and following MasterCard on Twitter for further directions. The campaign represents the future of recruiting, where the process demands that applicants showcase their skills –and in the process makes them stronger candidates.

For decades consumers have been asking businesses to listen to their petitions, complaints and suggestions. Thanks to social media we’ve made the leap and companies are more exposed than ever to people’s opinions and, in many cases, they have no idea what to do with them. Today we analyze how organizations can best confront this situation.

Businesses that are principally B2C are facing something so completely new that 10 years ago it didn’t even exist, and without much time for preparation they must redeisgn the way they connect with consumers. Social media has changed more than just the way people communicate. Companies are each day more connected internally, but towards the outside it is costing them to face direct opinion, in a very public way.
