In the past few years, an explosion of social networking sites have made the tried-and-true methods of word-of-mouth referrals even more rewarding for sales, recruiting, and personal job initiatives. Expanding your talent pool by using Web 2.0 is critical to a successful talent management strategy in today’s world. Tapping into this pool of potential candidates can yield extraordinary results. Add value to your recruiting function by gaining the “know-how” to find and reach these passive candidate prospects.
Networking sites give recruiters access to potential candidates and their connections, which in turn can exponentially multiply those candidates for talent acquisition. With four generations in the workplace (Veterans, Boomers, Gen X and Gen Y), these sites help companies reach 20- and 30-somethings who don’t typically respond to traditional methods. The benefits of social networking sites as a talent acquisition tool are numerous:
* Expand contacts;
* Find passive job-seekers in a targeted manner;
* Build a new economic recruitment source (most sites are free);
* Interact with the candidates informally and easily; and
* Reach individuals 24/7.
In this webcast you will hear from recruiting experts who will demonstrate how to begin mobilizing social networking sites AND how to effectively and assertively communicate with these newly sourced candidate prospects.
You’ll gain a general overview of Web 2.0 techniques including how to effectively utilize networking sites with the latest direct sourcing techniques. You will also learn how sourcing smarter can empower you to recruit more qualified candidates.
