Social Recruiting

Recruiting through the use of social recruiting platforms has widened the employability quotient of job-seekers and has been widely embraced by graduating students and employers as a rewarding job searching medium.

Sources within the Human Resources departments of companies are of the opinion that recruiting through the social media has already made its mark but is now poised to attain newer heights making it an indispensable and obligatory component of recruitment strategies implemented by recruiters and HR departments.

However, social recruiting has also ventured into newer avenues, that may not have the same reach and potential as the big three, LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter, but nevertheless resourceful enough to provide recruitment functionality to the respective stakeholders. 

Recruiters have taken social recruiting beyond the big three of social media: Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter and have now found that relatively much smaller outlets like Quora, Dribble, Github, Foursquare, and Instagram are as effective and valuable sources of social recruitment. Sites like these cannot match the reach of their more illustrious seniors but their constricted ambit is what makes them all the more exciting and a source of sourcing talent that is precise and specific. 

The emergence of social media sites that offer specific information has made it possible for both the employer and the job seekers and concentrate on their precise needs and has forced conventional job portals to provide value-added services and other information to face the competition for such new sourcing models.

Many mergers and acquisitions have taken place, Instagram with Facebook, Slidshare and LinkedIn and Tweetdeck and Tweeter immediately come to mind. There have been others as well and it seems that the trend of acquiring social media recruiting technologies by the bigger players is likely to continue. 

During a survey, recruiters when asked which social networks they planned on using this year and beyond, an overwhelming 82.6 percent said LinkedIn, Twitter ranked second with 38.3 percent of the votes whilst Facebook managed 37.4 percent. Apart from these recruiters also said that it was  highly likely that they would also be using Pinterest, You Tube, Google+, WordPress, Tumblr and also blogs to match opportunity with talent. 

The mobile is proving to be a strong social recruiting tool, with mobile users being counted in billions. Given that more than half of Facebook users log on with their mobiles and this number is likely to keep on increasing, the significance of Facebook ads that directly target mobile users is simply huge. 

There is little doubt that companies will rely more and more on social recruiting for their acquisition of talent making it the most strategic and transformational method of recruiting the right workforce. No longer can it be disparaged or be dismissed as a passing fad. It is obvious that social media in recruiting is effective, that it works, and that it is speedier and easy on the recruiting budgets.    

It Is Hard to Remove Mask

I am not any philosopher let me clarify that first before I move to topic, I am writing what I have understood. I found that everyone wears a mask in personal or professional life. We try to present ourselves in a fake way just to win the confident of others and I believe Nothing can be more fake than the masks we were to show each other who we are.

Sometimes I feel that it is really indeed to were mask to be a part of the social and professional life. It’s difficult to be a fake mask and trying to be diplomatic but, it is even hazardous to be state forward. All I can say is we needs to stop before that time comes wherein we cannot remove mask without removing some of our own skin.

Social Sites New Wings in the World of Recruitment

The world of recruitment is in aspiration of having social sites as new wings to fly more. Earlier the process of finding candidates was tedious for a recruiter but existence of various applicant tracking systems (ATS) has made task very simplified.

It’s time to move one step ahead then just finding candidates for the job. Next step is to have a help of social media to promote job with just one click and let the candidates find the recruiter for being part of his organization.  Role of this new wings is very much promising in the world of recruitment.

Pleasure of New Work

Previously I was working as a Freelancer for development of students as soft skills trainer in various colleges and recently I am with one of the leading recruitment technology company as a executive trainer. Experience with both jobs is awesome.

I thought of comparing two experiences but factually both are incomparable for me. First experience was of being an owner of job and doing something for satisfaction of me without any one to monitor me. Current job is about doing something for the company but still feels as if I am doing it for myself and that is most important thing at least for me as a part of job satisfaction.

Working for 2 -4 hours in a day previously and working for 9 hours in a day currently is not making any difference to my zeal of doing work. For this pleasure of work credit goes to work environment and my team with whom I spend almost half time of my active day.

Ready to Take Fresh Start

Just reached office and thought of posting something. Well in this post I would not prefer to write much because I have whole day left to do some thought-provoking things at office. So I would like to just wish Best luck to myself only so I can do worth value work today. So here I start,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Back to Disneyland

It feels awesome to be back to office. I had just completed my internal exam for the final semester of MBA and after 10 days I am back to office. Bit confuse about the better option to choose between college and the workplace, factually I love both the places very much. When I was in college was missing office time and now I am missing college while sitting in office. Anyways I know show must go on and priority of things changes with time.

My First Post

Hi friends!! it is my first attempt to write on my own blog. Being frank I am not sure what should I write in my first post.I am feeling as if I am sitting in examination and don't know even name of subject. I guess I am in the same position as any other person will be at the time of writing first post of his blog. I don’t want to write anything philosophical, I will just say that this blog is created by me with a clear intention of being in touch with the people who relate their selves with my thought process and I would try to understand their thought process as well.
