Cool video, but I have an extremely difficult time believing this stat:
80% of companies are using LinkedIn as their primary tool to find employees.
How can that possibly be true? I’d guess that 80% of companies have never even heard of LinkedIn.

Colin: Thanks for the post. This should read 80% use LinkedIn as “a” primary tool not as “their” primary tool. I’m traveling right now, but I also believe they updated the study recently so that it’s higher than 80%, but I’ll have to fact check that when I get out of this “tin box.” However I believe I list the source in below the article. Thanks for the feedback!

You’ve misstated your data.
I checked the very first fact the video cites — 96% of Gen Y use social media.
The data you reference actually says 96% of Gen Y *who are already online* have tried social media at least once. And they include email as social media.
That’s a far cry from what you claimed. It makes me wonder if the rest of your “research” is equally sloppy and misleading.
