Companies can use social media to find and attract job candidates in several ways. They can post job openings on platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter to reach a wide audience of potential applicants. They can also follow hashtags related to their industry or monitor social profiles of candidates to identify strong fits. Current employees can help by endorsing candidates through their own networks. Social media allows companies to screen candidates and get a sense of their online reputation before deciding who to interview.

1. Social media for recruitment.
Write a briefing paper answering the two questions below. The first question is worth 6
marks, the second question is worth 4 marks, for a total of 10 marks for the assignment.
About 1000 well-chosen words not counting references may be sufficient to answer the
questions. Question 1. Your company is not making much use of social media for
recruitment. Your boss has asked you to find out how social media can be used by
companies to find and attract good job candidates. Teach yourself about this topic by
finding and examining at least five useful sources (up to two of your sources may be videos,
at least three must be written sources) about how companies are using one or more forms
of social media for recruitment. Recruitment is defined in question 1 as finding, attracting,
and informing candidates of your openings, NOT evaluating them in terms of making a
hiring decision. Prepare a report for your boss, in your own words, which integrates what
you have learned about how social media can be used effectively in recruitment. Be as
specific as you can. You are welcome to consult more than five sources, and in fact you may
find that some sources you look at aren’t very useful or informative, or contain conflicting
or dated advice, in which case you should look farther until you establish some certainty
about the advice you are willing to provide to your boss. Include the urls or citations of your
sources at the bottom of the briefing paper.#Social #media #recruitment
