Literature Review
According to the literature “will tweet for talent”- a user’s guide to talent recruitment through
social media published by career builder, the author describes the ways a company can use the
social media resources in finding the right talent for the company. Social media platforms are
fast becoming networks not only meant for creating a social impression but also a medium to
utilize the need of talent drive. Companies have used the online platform for recruitment
purposes but with the advent of social networking sites like Facebook, twitter or LinkedIn
companies can solve their human resource with help of a click. They can do background checks;
find out tons of information needed to make a recruitment all through the help of these social
networking sites. As these social networking sites uses the concepts of very users demonstrating
the use of personal resources, it becomes easier for a company to find the right talent (Will tweet
for talent, 2016). These pages from fan sites and micro-blogging sites are also a great tool for the
employees to publish the roles and achievements thereby marketing for their own self as well as
the company. A two way effect get created here – first company can reach out their potential
recruitment with the help of these social activities of a person and secondly the person can know
the place, work culture and benefits of a company through the uses of the social networking
sites. This helps a company grasp the right talent at the right time using social networking as a
tool.
