Twitter and Identi.ca (microblogging systems) are faster alternatives to the
usual blog post, and they spread the word in an effective way (followers can
retweet if it is interesting). Today, with the information flooding that we
suffer, micromessages system and alerts are the only way we can filter what
we like.
And, of course, you have the Job openings wikipage.[1]
I think that it is a good idea.

Hello Everyone,
Recently we've been having some internal conversations regarding
transparency
for our hiring, recruiting and contracting. In efforts to be
more proactive about sharing this information we're moving to a system of
tweeting short bursts of announcements. This will be done in a "bot" style
voice not unlike the WMF tech feeds. The idea is that we'll get the
information out on new hires and new contractors and consultants working
with us along with new job openings etc. Basically the streams will recap
the comings and goings in a short and sweet format.
I invite you all to see these data streams -
http://identi.ca/wikimediaatwork/all
or
http://twitter.com/wikimediaatwork.
Eventually we also hope to find more ways to use this feed for recruiting
and reaching out to a larger candidate pool and audience. There will also
be times where we link the streams or feeds to longer and more detailed blog
postings.

So you know, all the times people asked to have better systems to
inform of new hirings such as on wiki pages but get told it would take
too long to update them, you decide to implement a even more stupid
and time consuming system in which limited information can be sent
out.
