What's the next big thing in recruitment?

Next big thing in Recruitment

What could be the next big thing in recruitments? As the industry is going slow, it's time to reflect on the strengths and look to value add for opportunities that might come up. I know many would differ, saying that this is the time to work harder / more, as the industry is slow. But these are my thoughts..

Could the enabler for "the big thing" be RPO or technology or collaboration or consolidation or look at recruitment service in a different perspective? Would Executive Search be the next big thing as volime hiring was sometime back? Would organizations look at a thin recruitment team and outsource the process? Would consultants consolidate or collaborate with each other instead of compete? Would there be an increase in niche freelancers or "Consultants" who would operate with specific domain expertise?

Please do share your thougts and did I put any thoughts in anyone's mind on going forward :)
