1. Babel still exists...
The limits of my language means the limits of my world. All I

I fear the day that technology will surpass our human
interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots.
A. Einstein (or not)
5. too little support
--- no comment ---
6. lack of analytics

(cost per email, cost per call etc.) Predictions (e.g. hiring
volume, selection feasibility, funnel data, candidate behavior
etc.)
7. where do you put your money?
What costs more? An extra 2 mns search/candidate or buying a
LinkedIn Recruiter? Buying a paid LinkedIn product or losing
candidates during Google x-ray? Sending a LinkedIn InMail or making
a phone call? Investing into your ATS or looking for a third -party
solution?
