SM does not replace traditional methods that have proven effective for sourcing and recruiting- SM can be used in addition to the already tried and true methods. 1. Great tool for tapping into passive market - Can find candidates through search engines and people search tools 2. Build network relationships for your talent pools 3. Make sure that your online identity is an asset and not a liability ensuring accuracy of information, spelling, grammar etc. 4. Use Social media as a research tool to access evtra information on candidates Treading carefully, you can find out what your candidate’s contribution is through Twitter, blogs, linkedin groups 5. Social Media tools are an extension to an organisations corporate website – direct traffic from these online tools to the company careers site 6 .

There’s a wealth of information available to check on a company’s background, people who work there, salaries etc. For eg: Glass door/ Even it up etc. Gen Y Candidates specifically are more tech savvy and are looking for more than the static online corporate speak on a company website. They are demanding honest, open, transparent and interactivity.

Thomas Shaw – Recruitment directory offer training courses to recruiters on using many social media tools in recruitment Also comment about Geoff Jennings (social recruiting specialists), Laurel Papworth (social media strategist) ‘ Blogs are now used by 24% of the Internet users, up from 13% in 2006’ – Taleo 2009
social media does not replace offline tactics In Jobvite’s recent Social Recruitment Survey, results showed that nearly half (43%) of jobs are not listed on job boards and that a high majority of companies (72%) indicated they were increasing investment in recruiting via social networks. Jobseekers need to embrace this new reality. Use social media to differentiate yourself and send your signal of quality. Be proactive, and use social media to identify more job opportunities and expand your networking contacts.
Legal - too much information on a candidate’s social page which has no relation to the business/professional character - Information that could cause harm during a potential Social Media terminology depicts connections as “friends” and “contacts” when this is not the fact. Importance of actual relationship building can potentially be left behind (????) Companies need to make sure that they are compliant with relevant regulations when using networking sites focused on people’s social lives that have a lot of pictures as policy may not cover SM as it was written before its emergence There is so much information/ views and opinions on many topics that the web can at times be overwhelming - Social Media learning curve is very steep as there is much information to digest on one topic Building contacts and networks can be received by passive candidates as spam if they can not identify the true value - It takes time to build rapport with your social media audiences – - need to build credibility (usually shown through writing your own blog) It’s a moving target Companies need to overcome their fears i.e. giving control back to the consumer - Information is readily available online so denying a consumers right for information will only cause greater problems This is a different form of communication – its much more than marketing Be real & honest to the audience 5. Lengthy process to implement - When implementing a new social media tool into your recruitment process, be prepared for Legal and Marketing functions to review how their brand will be distributed into the market. This can take time.
