Social is more than status updates

I've been using social media to recruit for a long time but only recently came to the realization that it’s not just about updating my status with the hottest open positions. And I wondered why I wasn't getting any response! If you are using sites like LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook to get the word out about your open positions, there is so much more to it than posting jobs. (This is relevant for sales and job seekers as well.) To build an active following, you have to add other content to…See More

8 Tips for the New Recruiter
