CASE STUDIES

Ernst and Young
Goal: lower barrier to entry for candidates.
Campaign: Branded Facebook page where candidates can publicly ask questions. The mulit-media aspectMakes it appealing for younger candidates.
They also recognize the over 55 demographic is fasting rising on Facebook.
• Created Blue Shirt Nation. • 25,000 of company’s 160,000 employees were members of Blue Shirt Nation.
• Turnover among those members was 8-12%, much lower than the 50% turnover among Best Buy’s ‘most youthful’ employees.
• No dollar figure has been quoted, but it’s obvious that the site’s members are more likely to stay with the company, and this again, saves on recruiting costs.

REPORTING
IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK
Other forms of advertising can’t offer as many ways to track.
Ex. Billboards offer traffic counts but no way to see if someone found you from this site.
Print, radio and television can give demographics and readers/listeners/viewers but no immediate way to tell you if traffic was driven to you through these mediums.
WHIMPORTANTU
Reporting can be limited on some sites. Need to determine what you consider successful and then structure your social sites to give you your results.
EXAMPLES
Are you looking for the most member or followers?
Are you looking for specific candidates?
Has this reduced turnover?
Has it helped with cost per hire?
Each organization will have different criteria based on what they are trying to accomplish. Consider carefully what works for you.
BE PATIENT
Certain goals will take longer for you to get results and also to tabulate results.
63
USE YOUR WEBSITE
All websites have analytics.
Make friends with your webmaster
Review reports to see traffic coming to your site from your social sites.
64
REPORTING WHEN THERE ARE NO REPORTS
BLOGS Track visitors and how they respond to the content of the blog.
TWITTER/FACEBOOKKeep a tally of questions answered and positive exchanges on the sites. Do the percentages change over time?
When you code jobs so you can see how many people responded. You can also use landing pages to track traffic and where it came from for more information on behaviors and conversions.
Talk to your webmaster for reports on how much traffic your websites are receiving from social media.

EMPLOYEE ACCESS TO ONLINE TOOLS
EMPLOYEE ACCESS TO ONLINE TOOLS
Issue: Many companies block their employees from using sites like YouTube, Facebook, and Wikipedia.
EMPLOYEE ACCESS TO ONLINE TOOLS
1.Security: IT security specialists raise concerns that these high traffic sites pose a greater risk for malware and spyware. However, businesses can implement security measures to mitigate these risks, just as they do for other high traffic sites such as Google and Yahoo.
EMPLOYEE ACCESS TO ONLINE TOOLS
2. Employees will waste time: this is the same argument that has been used to say employees shouldn’t have access to phones, email, etc. It’s not unique to Web 2.0. It should be addressed by managers as a management issue, not a technology problem.
EMPLOYEE ACCESS TO ONLINE TOOLS
3. Bandwidth: this is a legitimate concern for sites such as YouTube that consume considerable bandwidth. However, you budget for this, as they do for other infrastructure needs. If opening all computers to all sites is an issue, than at least provide access to staff that need to understand and use these tools to communicate with the public.
