Social Recruiting? What’s That?

So you have taken the trouble to build your own social networks in social and professional networking sites. Does it mean then, that you are doing all that can be done to get the most out of social recruiting?

Most social and professional networking sites today offer some avenue or the other to reach out to professionals in your industry who may be seeking employment. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. To be able to truly harness the power of social recruiting you could be doing a lot more. Here’s a few of the things that an effective social recruitment platform should allow you to do:

1. Add your existing employees to your career network
2. Extend your employee referral program to the social recruiting platform – for your existing employees as well as the rest of your career network
3. Track the employee referrals received through the social recruiting platform
4. Allow you to create, bookmark, share, forward and manage job openings
5. Share your job openings to everyone in your career network
6. Propagate your job openings through the career profiles of others in your network so that other professionals in their networks can see the job openings and apply or refer a qualified friend.
7. Manage the disbursement of an employee referral bonuses
8. Optimize your job site or careers pages to maximize visibility for the job openings
9. Broadcast your job openings to Search Engines, Facebook, Twitter, etc. and promote your Employer Brand on platforms like YouTube, Flickr, etc.
10. Get statistics on how your job openings are performing within your social networks
