The New Networking: Using Social Media to Land Your Next JobStephen Murphy
There's a big problem in recruiting today. Companies are posting jobs one place, and applicants are applying elsewhere. This gap is the reason why there are more than 4.5 million unfilled jobs in the US, despite nearly 10 million unemployed Americans on the market.
In this new presentation, we'll show you how to close the gap by focusing job search efforts on one of the fastest growing platforms: social media. We'll discuss the main social networks you need to be on, how to optimize your profiles for success, and where to find the best jobs.
The document discusses several topics related to jobs and the economy. It projects that the US population will increase by 21.8 million adults by 2018, with most of the growth coming from people over 55. There will also be a potential gap of 6 million unfilled jobs in various sectors like healthcare, education, and the non-profit sector. Traditional job search methods are often ineffective, while networking accounts for 70-80% of people finding jobs. Developing an online personal brand through tools like blogs and social media can help with a proactive job search approach.

Getting a job in 2016: using the internet to your advantage.Kenny Soto
This document provides advice for job seekers on using the internet to their advantage when job hunting after college. It recommends building a personal brand online through blogging and social media to showcase knowledge and skills. It also stresses the importance of networking through sites like Meetup, Twitter, and Quora to build relationships and find opportunities at companies before formally applying. Researching companies online and tailoring applications is also advised. The overall message is that a degree alone is not enough and job hunters must proactively promote themselves.
Job seekers spend endless hours surfing job boards and sending out resumes but all too often are met with stony silence in response. The truth is that networking is a far more powerful way to land a great professional opportunity. The importance of networking can’t be overstated; the statistics on the matter are consistent and dramatic. As I can attest to from my years in executive recruitment, 60 to 80 percent of jobs are obtained through networking.

3) Using social media improved recruiters' ability to connect with passive candidates, improved hiring quality, and reduced time to hire.
The document discusses challenges in the current job market and strategies for effective job searching. It notes that 54% of households have had someone unemployed this year, and that the population over 55 will increase significantly in the next decade.

Effective personal branding, online presence, and gaining relevant skills and experience are also emphasized as important for finding new opportunities.
This document provides an overview of how to use LinkedIn for prospecting. It discusses setting up a LinkedIn profile to attract connections, using advanced search and company pages to find targets, and following up with connections. Key points include highlighting your benefits to others in your profile, searching by job title and industry to find prospects, noting how you may contact others based on your shared connections or groups, and requesting a follow up call after accepting a connection request. The goal is to leverage LinkedIn's professional network for business development and prospecting opportunities.

Unlocking the Power of LinkedIn for Donor ResearchWeDidIt
Bold statement alert! LinkedIn is the most underutilized social networks for nonprofits, particularly when it comes to major gift fundraising.
Despite boasting an impressive user base of 400,000,000+ people worldwide (122 million here in the U.S.) and a powerful suite of features (even for free users), many fundraisers and prospect researchers don’t (or don’t know how to) take full advantage of all it has to offer.
And that’s a shame, because LinkedIn can be a powerful donor research and engagement tool.
In this webinar, you'll learn actionable tips you can start using immediately to take advantage of LinkedIn as a donor research tool.

LinkedIn is a professional social networking site that connects professionals based on business and employment connections. Unlike other social networks, LinkedIn focuses solely on professional networking and career development. Users create profiles similar to resumes or CVs and connect primarily with people they know from work or school. LinkedIn allows users to view connections between their connections, called degrees of separation, which can help users find and connect with new contacts that may be useful for their work. Employers and recruiters also use LinkedIn to research job candidates and potential hires.
The document discusses managing your online identity and presence across various social media platforms. It provides tips on how to make yourself easy to find online, control what information is available about you, and use platforms like LinkedIn strategically to maximize visibility and opportunities. The key recommendations are to pick a consistent online name, claim your profile on major sites, build connections and recommendations, and keep content fresh and professional.

This document discusses how social media is reshaping job searching.

Social media has become ubiquitous, with 4 out of 5 internet users visiting social sites monthly and billions of minutes spent and posts/videos shared daily. This level of engagement means social media is revolutionizing how people interact with brands, including employers. With social networks, the balance of power has shifted to employees and alumni who can influence perceptions of a company. To build a strong connected employer brand, companies must listen to social conversations, engage authentically and be transparent across recruitment, employment and alumni interactions. The presentation provides examples of how leading companies like Facebook, Cisco and Deloitte use social media for employer branding.

Both HR and marketing skills are needed to strategically select the right advertising platforms and write compelling job postings optimized for search engines and social media. However, most companies lack the resources to dedicate both functions to recruiting. As a result, opportunities are getting lost in the large volume of online job listings and it has become difficult for both companies and job seekers to efficiently match up.

Your Approach to
Hiring Is All Wrong
B U S I N E S S E S H AV E N E V E R done as much hiring as they do today.
They’ve never spent as much money doing it. And they’ve never
done a worse job of it.
For most of the post–World War II era, large corporations went
about hiring this way: Human resources experts prepared a detailed
job analysis to determine what tasks the job required and what
attributes a good candidate should have. Next they did a job evalu-
ation to determine how the job fit into the organizational chart and
how much it should pay, especially compared with other jobs. Ads
were posted, and applicants applied. Then came the task of sorting
through the applicants. That included skills tests, reference checks,
maybe personality and IQ tests, and extensive interviews to learn
more about them as people. William H. Whyte, in The Organization
Man, described this process as going on for as long as a week before

subcontractors can scan websites that
programmers might visit, trace their
“digital exhaust” from cookies and
other user-tracking measures to iden-
tify who they are, and then examine
their curricula vitae.
At companies that still do their own
recruitment and hiring, managers
trying to fill open positions are largely
left to figure out what the jobs require
and what the ads should say. When
applications come—always electron-
ically—applicant-tracking software
sifts through them for key words that
the hiring managers want to see. Then
the process moves into the Wild West,
where a new industry of vendors offer
an astonishing array of smart-sounding
tools that claim to predict who will be
a good hire. They use voice recogni-
tion, body language, clues on social
media, and especially machine learning
algorithms—everything but tea leaves.
Entire publications are devoted to what
these vendors are doing.
The big problem with all these new
practices is that we don’t know whether
they actually produce satisfactory hires.
Only about a third of U.S. companies
report that they monitor whether their
hiring practices lead to good employees;
few of them do so carefully, and only
a minority even track cost per hire and
time to hire. Imagine if the CEO asked
how an advertising campaign had gone,
and the response was “We have a good
idea how long it took to roll out and
what it cost, but we haven’t looked to
see whether we’re selling more.”
