traditional methods of recruiting, such as:
• Newspaper ads
• Recruiting agencies
• Job boards
• Word-of-mouth/referrals
The recruiting process has drastically changed

Say one of your close friends has some type of relationship, have it be personal or
professional, with someone who seems to be a great fit for your company. You work with
your friend to connect you with this prospective employee. Over time, you slowly (and
passively) build a relationship, that can later be leveraged to recruit that person to your
company.
