This document discusses how exclusive online communities hosted by alumni associations and professional organizations can help employers source qualified talent more effectively than open social networks or job boards. It argues that exclusive networks provide authenticity, protect privacy, and leverage shared affinity between members to foster trust and willingness to help one another. This creates benefits for both employers and the hosting organizations. For employers, it establishes their brand, allows advanced targeting of qualified candidates, and builds a talent pipeline. For hosting organizations, it engages alumni, reinforces their brand's value, and promotes continued involvement through activities like referrals, events, and donations.
Social Recruiting 2013 Survey Results via JobVite
• 94% of recruiters use or plan to use social media in their recruitment efforts • 78% of recruiters have made a hire through social media
This year’s results delve into how recruiters are leveraging social recruiting in addition to whether or not they are using it. Much like marketers, recruiters use social networks as part of a multi-channel strategy to find leads and nurture them to hire. Just as the days of “rented attention” and “one size fits all” campaigns are over in the marketing and advertising worlds, recruiters now focus on building their own talent pool and appealing to candidates’ individual preferences.
The best candidates are always “shopping” for a new job and have more information at their fingertips than ever before. To succeed in today’s fiercely competitive market, recruiters have started to use a marketer’s approach to find and cultivate the top talent:
• Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn are still the recruiters social networks of choice – but they have company. Blogs, Youtube, GitHub, Stackoverflow, Yammer, and Instagram have emerged as channels recruiters also use to source talent. • Across social channels, recruiters look for professional experience, tenure, hard skills, industry-related voice and cultural fit as part of the hiring process. • LinkedIn remains the king of searching (96%), contacting (94%), vetting (92%) and keeping tab of candidates (93%).
Recruiters are also placing increasing importance on candidates’ social profiles:
• 42% have reconsidered a candidate based on content viewed in a social profile, leading to both positive and negative re-assessments • Profanity, and grammar and punctuation errors trigger negative reactions among recruiters over 60% of the time
Social recruiting is not just a way of finding the best cultural fit – there are also significant bottom line benefits
• Recruiters reported a jump in time to hire (33%), the quality of candidates (49%) and the quantity of candidates (43%) • 60% of recruiters estimate the value of social media hires as greater than $20k/year. 20% estimate the value of social media hires as greater than $90k/year.
Finally, developments in social recruiting exist in the context of a highly competitive employee market:
• Only 1.5% of recruiters expect the hiring environment to get less competitive in the coming year • 68% of companies offer referral compensation to gain a competitive edge in hiring.
