The notion of social recruiting has already enjoyed quite an illustrious lifecycle. It's been praised as the next big thing in recruitment, lambasted as a fad, and shrugged at as just another tool. Even if you're don't believe it's the harbinger of a recruiting revolution and will forever change the way you do your job, candidates are still putting their professional selves out there, and their social footprint is a great way to find, qualify, and built rapport with potential hires.
But it's not as easy as tweeting out a link to your careers page or commenting on an old instagram. You have to be thoughtful and tactful, considering the norms for each outlet as well as the expectations of each user. That's why we invited friend of Entelo and founder of Winning Impression on to our podcast to discuss the finer aspects of social recruiting. We tackled:
- Best use of social information in messaging
- Which social channels it's OK to reference, and how to do do
- How UK talent views different social channels
- Much, much more
