Take Advantage of Social Media Services to Find the Most Qualified Employees Faster.
Once HR staff learn to use social media to locate talent they
wonder how they ever found candidates any
other way. Finding top talent using
Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn is much easier than combing through
resumes the
old fashioned way.
1. Talk It Up on Twitter with Hashtags
Toot the company horn. Chat up company culture and let the
world know how great a place the company
is to work. Make sure your existing
employees are talking the company up in a positive light as well, as they
can
often be your best (free) advertising.
Hash tags are used on Twitter for keeping track of multiple conversations
about certain subjects. Making an
announcement about a company on Twitter
serves no purpose without the applicable hashtags. Additionally,
don’t neglect
to search Twitter for relevant hashtags. Sometimes the perfect candidate is out
there using
hashtags to search for a wonderful company to work for.
2. Get Competitive
Depending on the available position, it might be wise to hold
a contest to generate interest to find that perfect
candidate. Creative
positions can lend themselves well to these types of methods. Companies looking
for a
photographer can hold a best photo contest. Additionally, a company
searching for a writer could hold a contest
to search for the best writer. The possibilities are endless.
3. Sign Up for Deluxe Features
A corporate account on LinkedIn can offer access to LinkedIn’s
talent finder features. Of course, this service
costs upwards of $100.00, but
for a large corporation, this is a mere drop in the bucket.
4. Assess Advanced Search Features
Discovering the ideal candidate doesn’t have to be hard.
LinkedIn offers recruiters an effective method for
searching for candidates

5. Join the Conversation
Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter have conversational features
that can be capitalized on. Direct recruitment on
relevant forums and groups
are an effective method for getting the word out about new positions, and these
platforms allow a much greater and more direct route for involved jobseekers to
seek you out specifically.
6. Create an App for That
Large companies could benefit from an app that updates open
positions on a regular basis. For a smaller
company, this could be overkill.
Large companies with 20 or more positions open per week could definitely
benefit.
7. Create a List
Advertise available job openings on Facebook or company web
page. Announce openings routinely so job
seekers get used to coming back
frequently.
8. Show, Don't Tell
Show off the office and the atmosphere to potential hires on
the Facebook page. Don’t be afraid to brag. Top
talent will be beating down the
doors for a sweet deal.
9. Ask & Receive
There is no shame in asking for referrals. This is the easiest
method to find a qualified candidate. Send out a
notice to followers about any
open positions and include a link to an application.
10. Hiring Methods Have Changed
Ten years ago, if you polled human resources personnel about
the methods used to find a qualified candidate,
you’d have probably heard
familiar phrases such as:
- Sifting through piles of resumes
- Reading numerous cover letters
Social media is changing the face of business. Not only has it
changed the way businesses market services,
but it has recently changed the way
businesses hunt for qualified employees. Of course, that's a good thing
compared to responses based on polls from years ago.
There are numerous reasons to take advantage of social
networks when searching for the perfect candidate.
The size of the talent pool
is reason enough. Facebook has over 750 million potential job candidates. Other
services such as LinkedIn offer a more targeted audience. The figures could
seem overwhelming, but the
targeted search options make it easier and more
manageable than most imagine. Here are the 10 most
effective ways to snag top
talent using social media.
