Latest Strategies, Trends, Best Tools and Applications
Attract more talents, faster, and more cost effective than competition
Recruiting is about building relationships - the difference today is that many of these relationships are built online.
Using social media to support recruiting efforts is one of three hot topic in recruitment right now.
Learning about social media and developingsocial media strategies is crucial in today's online recruitment initiatives. When used correctly, social networking can be an extremely powerful and effective tool in recruiter-candidate relationship building.
Your company/organization/brand is (like others) most probably already present on Social Networks. The goal of this workshop is to better leverage this presence for employment branding, improved recruitment efficiency and attraction of best talent.
Talking to recruiters it regularly turns out it is difficult to find extraordinary candidate for important position, even at high levels of unemployment. Competition for talents will always be tough and crucial, no matter what dimension of the crisis are.
Although industry contacts, expertise, job fairs and traditional media/job boards might still be the main source for recruiting, the growing part of it is becoming Social Media.
Social networks mostly used by recruiters
Approx 90% of recruitment on Social Media takes place on Linked In, Facebook and Twitter.
LinkedIn has been known as Social Media Business Network, or world standard for professional networking, but trends are changing fast and that is why I prepared this workshop for you. You will find out what you can and should do to achieve your goals and be step ahead of competition or other recruiters.
Opposite to what numerous (mostly self-proclaimed) Social Media experts claim, these networks are neither a magic dust, nor a formula for over night results.
They require knowledge, skills, continuous effort coupled with right strategy, and tools which continuosly change, like everything else in business.
