Well, it's the year 2013 and your resume is no longer your resume. For many people, the collection of the social sites that you're active on (e.g., LinkedIn, Github, Twitter, etc.) provide a lot of insight into who you are as a professional. And this includes insight into when you might be getting ready to leave your current position.
Marking Candidates ‘Viewed’ and ‘Contacted’
