(Atlanta, GA) April 14, 2010 - Christa Delk, senior VP for the sales and marketing division of firstPRO, who oversees a group of recruiters that focus on sales and marketing placements, says: "I know in our group we've definitely started using it more in conjunction with social media tools [such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter]. We use it on the candidate side. We haven't really started using it with our clients yet. We send out opportunities."

Delk estimates her team members send and receive anywhere from 50 to 100 text messages a week, and she expects that number to continue to increase. "For the most part, people are excited about it and open to it," she says. "I think we'll see a lot more companies do this. There's a lot of initiative to push this because it's efficient. It's cool stuff. Good technology."  Click here to read more.
