Screening and Assessing the
Applicants
Screening the candidates just by
seeing their resume is becoming
an old time task. In this online
savvy world, companies are also
bringing in consideration the
presence of candidates on social
media sites like
– LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. The information about the candidates is easily available on these sites and it aids HRs in
assessing the behaviour and interest of the applicants they are about to hire. Infact, there are many third party agencies which offer
professional services in this field as well.
Social Recruiting
Social Recruiting has emerged as an important pillar when it comes to effective use of social media in HR and recruitment process. A
most popular example here is ofLinkedIn Jobs, which allows recruiters to post their jobs and reach out to its registered members, at
some fees. However, tools like – Applicant Tracking System makes social recruiting more costeffective where recruiters can post
jobs to LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter at free of cost, and reach out to a vast audience in no time.
Connecting with other like minded people
Social media is loaded with relevant groups and forums which connect HRs and other related skilled professionals at one place.
These forums are there for the sole purpose of generating and distributing informative knowledge of like minded people. HRs need
to be active in the group activities to keep themselves updated about the current trends in their profession. They can post queries to
get expert answers and even can share their knowledge about the relevant topics. Most popular HR forums in India are
–CiteHR and HR.com. This is also a recommended way to create self as well as company branding on social media.
