Recruiting is Marketing...Why ? Very interesting article on sourcing activities ...The real added value of recruitment is to build confidence between hiring manager and the candidates and not sell a job to a candidate. Agree ?

AND.......The answer "No". I never thought so although it has Recruiting as one of it's solutions. It is so much more than a job board and Recruiting has changed. As a Recruiting Director on the corporate side with a HR Management background, I see Linkedin as a platform for building brand awareness. Which, is extremely key in attracting talent. Having the talent come to you "what a concept". It takes time and patience but the pay-offs are worth it. |

I was thinking about this yesterday, the recruitment business is about relationships. A digital relationship is never as strong as one in face to face presence.

We need them to help build brand awareness and talk about their experiences working for you company. They are essential so you need to first get buy in from the top.

As the candidate pool changes it's important to leverage as many channels as possible including #socialmedia |
Many recruiters (and software vendors) are claiming that someone's digital footprint on Twitter, Foursquare, LinkedIn, and Facebook can reveal interesting things about a candidate. I DISAGREE!
The only exception is for those in the on-line world where activity, profiles, and connections indicate their level of understanding, use, and sophistication of using on-line tools.
The problem is that most individuals beyond those in the on-line space are so new to social media tools - that the lack of significant presence is NOT yet a negative. In 3-4 years when social media use by business professionals becomes more common, then the lack of using these sites/tools might be viewed as a negative.
Most companies are struggling still to figure out how to use the most basic elements of social media for recruiting - forget about using sophisticated tools.
