How Recruiters Are Using Social Media To Find (And Hire) Hidden Talent | AllTwitter

How Recruiters Are Using Social Media To Find (And Hire) Hidden Talent | AllTwitter | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Did you know that 84 percent of recruiters use social media to recruit candidates that might not have otherwise applied, and, in 2012, companies are expected to use social media to recruit for more than 80 percent of job openings?

 

Moreover, 7 out of 10 employers have successfully hired a candidate through social media, and, since implementing social recruitment, almost half (49 percent) have received more applicants to choose from.

 

Social networks such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn have made a huge impact on the business strategy of companies across almost every industry, and recruitment is no exception. By proactively targeting ‘passive’ job talent through social channels – relying on vacancy postings and other applicant tracking systems attracts just five percent of the workforce – firms can widen their reach and dramatically improve the quality of their workforce.

 

This infographic takes a closer look at the new age of recruitment.

But spend some quality time with “The Front Page of the Internet,” and you’ll find it’s an essential resource, a self-correcting marketplace of ideas that’s nearly impervious to marketers.

 

Simply put, Reddit is a message board wherein users submit links. What differentiates it from a real-time information network like Twitter is that the stream of content is curated by the community. Items of value are “upvoted,” and those deemed unworthy are “downvoted.” This determines a post’s position on the site, and items that hit the front page are seen by hundreds of thousands of people (consequently, sending boatloads of traffic to the linked website).
