Editor's Notes
- We argue that from our social media results, recruitment has become social in that recruiters are not just applying social media due to what is seen as best practice but are instead adopting and actually believing in social media as a tool that can be used effectively and as part of the whole operation rather than just as a side activity. So when we say ‘recruitment has become social’ we are referring to not just integration of social media into the recruitment process but we are also referring to how recruiters themselves think and act with regards to social media. There has been a huge shift in the use of social media for recruitment in the past two years. As HR professionals develop their confidence in social media personally, it has changed their attitude and acceptance and they now apply that knowledge professionally. Social media is now viewed as an opportunity, not a threat.Recruiters are thinking and breathing “social media” thoughts. Business leaders might still need convincing however.This presentation will go to show you how recruitment has become more social and how better and more positive thinking with regards to social media has paved the way for rewarding use of the tool.After all, social media isn’t just about accessing candidates and their information any more. It‘s about understanding how candidates social media, understanding the audience’s preferences, being aware of one’s reputation, managing reputation, and developing good content which in turn leads to the identification/qualification of candidates so that we can interact with them.
- Social media is here to stay.Our results have shown that organisations want to increase their use of social media. We argue that this experience will also allow recruiters in future to adapt better to new platforms.
- We asked recruiters how their organisations would change their use of social media and non-social media tools in the near future.Over 50% of firms want to increase their use of Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and video.
- To varying degrees, organisations are having varied success when it comes to making direct hires.It’s evident that LinkedIn has been the most successful channel for organisations who have tried to hire directly. Astonishingly, 78% of organisations who have tried using LinkedIn have been successful in making direct hires. The second in line was Facebook. It seems that when it comes to using Facebook for hiring directly, the likelihood of success is almost 50-50 as 48% have been successful whilst 52% have been less successful.Twitter is the least favourable when it comes to direct hires compared to LinkedIn and Facebook. While over a third of organisations who have tried Twitter have been successful, nearly two-thirds have not been successful.
- If an organisation’s end goal is simply to advertise to attain direct hires then LinkedIn would be best.However, social media must always be about interactions with people organisations want to hire. Developing two-way conversations with people who want to align to an organisation’s brand will draw quality followers to the brand and this will lead to better quality hires. As mentioned organisations who measure social media place quality of followers as the most important metric when using social media.
- 23% of organisations are able to manage well with just a minimum of 3 and maximum of 10 hours.
