I much prefer the real world. This sounds very interesting, but I just can’t bring myself to join up with second life or anything like. I much prefer the real world.

Brian Regan from Semper International here. I am loving SL s a part of our recruitment strategy. Sure being the first in was a cool PR thing, but we are not terribly interested in making PR posts about doing what we entered there to do. The reality is that we use our SL presense for more than just recruiting residents out of SL. We actually bring a lot of new residents into SL for mass interviewing for our Video Game staffing division. This has been a great success in regards to mass pre-screening. There has been a decent result in us extracting talent from SL and even more so, finding talented people for SL projects for us interbally for non SL related things. We tested voice last night and it was AWESOME, we plan on our first internal training seminar for our recruiters and sales force in the coming weeks, once the voice client is more stable. In the end, we are making SL work for us. It is not a simple thing, but if you think it through and execute well you can make a very good well rounded situation for yourself. True, some people should wait to enter. If your firm is not designed to be accustomed to change and adapt quicky it is likely better to let those of us that have entered learn and experiment and read our blogs or get the Recruiting in SL for dummies books etc. Brian Regan Semper International.

Its going to be interesting when they add sound and talking to SL. I hear they are working on it. Other than the publicity associated with building a SL business, timing is everything and I think its a bit early still Thanks Paul for your summary.
