In 2006 I started using Facebook and most of my friends & colleagues thought I was strange. In 2007 I started using Twitter and most of my friends & colleagues wondered why people would care what I ate for lunch. In 2008 I started VC blogging. In 2011 I started using Instagram. Right now it’s my favorite network.

I’m not suggesting executive search firms for every startup position, but national recruiting organizations will get better results. Don’t bother with previous employment follow-ups.
