Best Buy is using real-time communications and open innovation as a model for recruiting a new Senior Manager of Emerging Media.
When the job posting, first made public by a recruiter on Twitter, specified over 250 Twitter followers as a job requirement, lots of online chatter ensued. In response, Best Buy's CMO Barry Judge decided to create an online contest for the best job description using their robust Idea X platform. The contest just ended and the winning job description hasn't been officially posted, but you can read the submissions as well as the motivations for the project on Barry's blog.
