Recruitment – Using Social Platforms To The Fullest
With everyone going online on different platforms, social recruiting is becoming
increasingly important and popular. This type of recruiting is fast, more cost-
effective, and highly profitable. In today’s competitive candidate-driven market,
with a global candidate shortage, employers and recruiters need to respond to
the shift; and social recruiting can help just there! Social recruiting gives new
ways to reach potential candidates, provided it is done right. Here are four top
tips for using social recruiting correctly, in order to find, shortlist, and secure the
best talent.
Knowing the platforms
There are a multitude of social platforms available out there. But, not all of them
are meant for you. Each type of social platform has a different kind of audience
using it. With such a vast social media landscape, you need to identify the
verticals you’re operating in, the kind of candidates you’re looking to hire, and
where such potential people can be. A great way to do this is by doing simple
research on every social media platform, determining how active the
community in your search results seems to be. You must establish your presence
everywhere possible, from discussion forums to news aggregation websites.
Building your reputation
You now know which platforms you want to target, so you now begin to send
mass messages to every potential candidate. But, it shouldn’t be just messaging.
You need to build a genuine and authentic relationship with them. Your key
focus should be on building your reputation within the community, so that they
respond and approach. The more credibility you demonstrate, the more
responsive the people will be. For this, you can get involved in day-to-day
conversations and discussions, post engaging photos and videos, share thought
leader opinions, and share your successes as an organization.

Doing your research
With the right channels, and the right people, and after approaching them,
you’ve probably already shortlisted some potential talent. You know that they
should be fitting the role well, in terms of skills, capabilities, culture, and
ambitions. But, all this comes only after a good amount of research. The more
research you do, the more targeted your relationships becomes, and hence the
better your results will be.
Integrating your processes
Even though you do all of the above, the right processes in place are important.
It is important to ensure that the processes you use for shortlisting, interviewing,
and placing candidates, are deeply integrated with how you use the social media
platforms. With the candidate shortage we’re going through today, delivering a
seamless, convenient, and cohesive service is more important than ever before.
If the candidates aren’t happy with you, they won’t be approaching you. They
have a whole multitude of options waiting for them, so they’ll come to you only
if they think you’re better and promising. So, build relationships, and have the
candidates feel they’re being cared for, supported, and satisfied. One easy way
to do this is by partnering with the best recruitment companies in India, one
like WalkWater Talent Advisors, who know the ins and outs of the recruitment
business, despite of the candidate shortage.
