Employer blogs about job, job seeker blogs to get job
About a year ago, this company posted a job opening on its blog. But it wasn't the usual job description of 'send us a resume'. They asked interested candidates to add a comment with a link to their online presence and a way to contact them.
Fred, however, quickly came up with a refinement of the idea – asking people to reply by commenting on the post and pointing us to their web presence, a blog, a site, or a profile page - that made the idea work. You can see the results by looking through the comments on our post. We did not get over run and the quality of the folks who commented blew us away.Enter Andrew Parker. Here's his blog and website. He got the job.

It's a great idea, and I suspect we'll hire that way again in the future.

That seems to be a better way out than actually going across the resume to figure out how beneficial the person is for the company.
I have website of my own. Do have a look at them.
