I think the proof is in the pudding where the owner writes that the 3 graduate's he hired this year all got under 50 and he hired them! I've come across this before a load of facts and figures designed to baffle and confuse. Social Media and recruitment will only work for so long and with people getting turned off from twitter and fb it won't be long before it has had it's day!

Chris,You didn't do the survey correctly. Sure, it has flaws but you're supposed to look at each question and use it to stimulate thought. If you're asked whether you use a particular method to find a job and you don't, then that should provide some insight in its own right. But yes, it's not perfect, but it's the first study of its kind and is a step in the right direction I hope.
