Hinda Chalew of Staffing Industry writes brand loyalty is dead. In other words, the internet makes it easy to look up various facts and figures, and so individuals know exactly what to expect from a product before they buy it. A good example would be Yelp's impact on restaurants.
The same impact that the internet has had on products and services is beginning to appear in the staffing industry as well.
