An introductory video to social recruiting…for you folks who might still be living in a cave :)…
Think social recruiting is a fad…think you can just ignore this and focus on Old World tactics (job boards, search firms, campus info sessions, etc.)? Cmon…we’re in the New World now!
MBA Students/Career Center Staff: Tell us what you don't like about New World recruiting
Cool video - love how companies are creating new standards for the workplace as well as how they communicate with potential employees. This is New World!!
Finally business schools have recognized the relevancy and importance of social media to business, as well as the staying power of this force - not only as a marketing enabler, but also as a communication enabler. I can not believe that corporations today haven’t incorporated social media tools into the work place more pervasively to enhance communications internally as well as externally. I think mainstream employees are still trying to understand the tools and are just now becoming exposed via products like Facebook. Imagine how different things will look in the next 5-10 years as the net generation of employees start to become more tenured.
Check out this article from Business Insider - “How Business Schools Are Getting In On Social Media”. I think the article has relevancy for recruiters, because as students gain more and more exposure to today’s social media/networking tools, these tools will only become more and more relevant as ways for us to interact with candidates.
Good “map” of social recruiting tools.
