Social Media and Me (WorldBridge Partners Meeting 2010)
Social Media presentations are everywhere these days and if I go to YouTube and ask the question "How to use Twitter" I'll find plenty of material to get myself up to speed. The question is: How do I combine all these tools effectively as a Recruiter? Tools like Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, Hashwork... need to make you faster, more efficient and broaden your marketing map. If using these tools means extra work, you are definitely doing something wrong.

How a Recruiter made 3 hires with Twitter in 6 weeks
Hire #1
I posted my first requirement for a .Net developer and (I’d have to check my Twitter diary to be certain…and yes, I kept one…stop laughing. No, seriously. Stop.) waited for any sign of life on the other end. It seemed like 17 minutes went by (again, that’s in the diary) and then finally, someone RT’d (“retweeted” for all you newbies) my Tweet. “Holy crap!,” I thought, “This is working.”
Eventually, I had several people retweeting my post that day and by the end of the day, I had five referrals, three interviews, and…wouldn’t you know it…a placement…with a great .Net talent I never would have known otherwise. This is when I started to really believe in the power of Twitter. The fact that this candidate saw my Tweet because someone I didn’t know reposted it blew my mind. I was addicted. So addicted now, in fact, that even as I write this blog post, I am Tweeting about it…well, that and how my dog smells like corn chips.
