Key takeaways from this infographic:

 - 89% of companies will use social media networks to recruit in 2011
- 45% of companies will use Twitter to find talent, compared with 80% using LinkedIn and a surprising 50% using Facebook
- Amusingly, over 2,000 people on LinkedIn have the same name as individuals on the FBI’s top 10 most wanted list
