I am an IT manager. When I have a position, the HR department scours several sources for candidates the meet the criteria and requirements and presents the resume of potentials to me. A resume is an absolute requirement and needs to be complete, concise, accurate and is your face to the hiring manager before you even get an interview.

I agree with Jerry. Although yes it is good to have some type of
presence online you still need a resume.While social media has gotten
bigger over the last few years nothing beats telling someone about
were you been like a resume.  I have a Linkdin profile and I will
change it once in a while but I also update my resume every month or
2.  Just depends on what you are looking for.
