This post is an introduction to a short report (6 page PDF) on a company called Avature, which provides recruiting and onboarding technology for large companies. It reads a lot loke marketing content, so take it with a grain of salt. It's worth noting here because of the role recruitment tools play in the online learning ecosystem - after all, for many people, the output of online learning is the input for recruitment (put that way it sounds really crass, but that's the way to think of it). And the caution here is to avoid designing for specific recritment objectives - becuse the goal of recruitment technology is flexibility. This is going to be especially the case for competency requirements and job qualifications.  "As a company starts to tweak, adapt, and expand its recruiting practices, there are always new workflows, business rules, and reports to add. Recruiting is not a transactional process – it's more like a continuous flow – so the platform has to be adaptable and easy to change."
