57% of Inc. 500 Use Social Networks to Recruit

A recent study of the Inc. 500 social media usage conducted by the Center for Marketing Research showed, among other facts, that over half of the companies are using social networks for the express purpose of recruiting.

In all candor, the numbers seem low to me. While the study states that it is statistically significant, I wonder to what degree the company representative who responded had visibility into the day-to-day recruiting function. At the very least, I would hazard that LinkedIn is among the most heavily used for recruiting whether you are a small or large shop. Can anyone shed light on this for me?
