Editor's Notes
- Find hard-to-reach candidates. When competition for talent is fierce, identifying the best can be challenging. Social networking offers the ability to reach out to passive or hard-to-find candidates that likely could not be reached using other sources.• Reach higher-quality candidates.Individuals who frequently use social networks tend to be “early adopters” of innovation and also tend to be more technically savvy.3• Increase ROI.You can dramatically reduce sourcing costs and increase ROI through social networks. Posting and sharing job openings through Facebook or LinkedIn is more likely to deliver results than a single description on a job board, so the potential value far exceeds the cost.These are the traitsmany companieslook for in potential candidates. Social networks offer a fast way to connect with these individuals.• Be the employer of choice. When your company establishes an online presence, you send a positive message out to potential candidates that your company is connected and understands how to communicate with them. Being the employer of choice means candidates want to work for you and spread that message across social networks, magnifying your brand and message.
