Michael, I am not so sure about the wisdom of the crowds. Now I’m not a big thinker on this subject — but most crowds in America are fat, unruly, unwashed, and support guns.
In fact, I don’t trust crowds. Not one bit. I just decided that right now.

@Laurie – LOL. Luckily American recruiters / HR professionals don’t match this profile. Actually Australia has a profile similar to your description
– except for the gun bit. Luckily crowdsourcing will work in New Zealand, as we are a near perfect bunch.
@Michael – I’ve been thinking about crowdsourcing in a candidate assessment / selection context – got no idea how it could work though. Crowdsource the solution!!

@laurie but crowds are fun
@Paul well you will keep. But candidate assessment crowdsourcing is that not called panel interviews?

Here’s how I feel, 24 hours later, after spending time with crowds at Starbucks & McDonalds, today.
If you crowdsource my promotion, I will quit.
