You don’t have to be a huge corporation to be a trend setter in your industry. Small, boutique companies respond to market fluctuations more easily than large ones giving them an edge in their business. While you don’t need expensive ad campaigns to gather the best and the brightest to your door, becoming known as an employer of choice, one that is filled with motivated thought leaders that work well together toward a common goal, still takes planning.

In today’s competition for talent, many candidates fly low under the radar so they don’t jeopardize their current stream of income. Top producers and key personnel feeling under-appreciated or no longer challenged at their company are using their own social media strategy to find you; their new employer.

In this session, we discuss how to set, execute, tweak, and maintain a social media recruiting campaign that gets you the resources you want using the dexterity of your small business to feed your strategy.

Learn strategies to:

Set your recruiting goal

Establish your recruiting brand

Become known as an industry and/or local thought leader

Develop your strategy to find the people you need, when you need them

Create a pipeline process that enables you to hire people at their peak

Ascertain a timeline for execution and delivery

We are at an exciting juncture in the history of the recruiting industry. We not only have professional networks in place to connect active job seekers with specialized positions, but we also--for the first time--have the buy- in from active and passive talent on personal networks such as Facebook.

This past November, the Social Jobs Partnership launched the Social Jobs App on Facebook, creating a central location for recruiters to share jobs with the Facebook’s 1 billion user community. Yet confusion about the purpose and potential of the app has led many industry professionals to express concern. “Facebook” as an entity still conjures up the image of a truly social--i.e. not professional--platform. But for many of Facebook’s users, that context has already begun to change. While many may agree with the above point, they still worry that the app itself lacks value or application. They ask, is this meant to compete with professional networking sites like LinkedIn? Does the app work? Will anyone know where to go to see my jobs?

In this session, Work4 Labs CEO Stéphane Le Viet will address:

The differences between the Social Jobs App and professional networking sites.

How to effectively leverage the Social Jobs App to promote your brand and engage with both passive and active candidates.

Why Facebook--and the Social Jobs App --is a recruiting platform you can’t afford to ignore.

Case studies of companies that have effectively begun to recruit on Facebook.
