Event Summary
The growth of the Internet is revolutionizing the recruitment landscape. Today, with the development of sites like Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and industry Blogs, corporate and agency recruiters are faced with much broader outreach channels when searching for talent. The interactive makeup of these sites not only allow for businesses to promote open positions, but also gives them immediate access to much more in-depth information about prospect hires than would be available through the use of more traditional recruitment methods.
But with growth, comes challenge and risk. Many companies are still wary about the use of social media and are facing obstacles such as training, implementation, internal enrollment and branding. For many recruitment professionals in particular, the usage of Web 2.0 technologies is still a very murky practice.
Come hear from a panel of experts as they address the opportunities and challenges of social media recruitment. In this series, our panel will explore:
- How to reach niche markets consistently and effectively
- Understanding the PR risks and liabilities associated with using these sites
- Identifying and engaging your active and passive candidate market
- Managing time effectively on these channels (new tools and integration strategies)
- Where marketing meets recruitment – bridging your business’s online branding efforts with your
- recruitment initiatives
- Is new media erasing the personal element of the recruiting profession?
