Have no fear, 'cause Second Life is here.
Microsoft's international recruiter-and-blogger (and good friend) Priya says it here
We're participating in a worldwide virtual career fair in Second Life from May 15th through 17th. Second Life is a very cool, wildly popular virtual world, and we'll be meeting and interviewing candidates during the job fair on "TMP Island", so named because of the career fair hosts, TMP Worldwide.
In fact, recruiting through Second Life is becoming all the rage, as this Fortune article shows. It's not just tech recruiting even consulting firms like PA Consulting of the UK used SL for recruiting consultants.
And it's not just recruiting. IBM now is using Second Life to conduct employee orientation and mentoring!

Amazing, I knew it was tough finding good recruits but I'd be really interested in the individuals that apply in this way and the manner in which the interview takes place.

Did u read about INSEAD providing course content and an on line MBA program on second life! There was a discussion in one of our classes about that. You'll very soon see a lot of B Schools offering that.
