Social Recruiting: How To Be Awesome On Facebook

By Tony Restell

I was intrigued to see the following infographic about recruiting on Facebook. Clearly Facebook has massive reach; but is it a tool that candidates would be happy to use for job searching purposes?

Perhaps it's moving in that direction. The fact that 1 in 5 jobseekers added professional information to their Facebook profiles this last year will certainly be an intriguing trend to watch.

I direct recruiters predominantly to the closing section though - How To Be Awesome On Facebook - as actually many of these points resonate as best practice for using any social media for recruiting. So whether you're using Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter... or Social-Hire.com!... do take a few moments to think about how the ideas in this section could be applied to your social media recruiting strategy.
