Social Media & Recruiting

Facebook, LinkedIn, My Space, Twitter, Blogs, the list goes on and on.  Getting your arms around all of these tools (and using them) can be challenging.  Finding the time to recruit passive candidates form them is even more challenging. 


I came across a great video interview with Shannon Seery Gude from Bill Vick’s xtremerecruiting site – check it out when you have a few minutes.  In the video, Shannon talks about her thoughts with the adoption of social media in the HR and Recruiting space – as well as advantages small companies have over larger ones in this space.  She also talks about how to get started with the various sites.

    Thanks Robert, glad to hear you like the design, content, and will be reading on. Prime Advertising & Design (www.primeadvertising.com) was a tremendous help with the design and implementation of our site and blog.

    Sharon, great post and resource. I truly believe that social media is going to change the way companies do their recruiting.

    It looks like your link is broken though. The folks at xtremerecruiting seem to have changed their permalink structure. Here is the link:

    Mike, thanks! I couldn’t agree more. I updated the post with a direct link to Shannon’s site too – as I had a problem with that link as well.
