Get Social: We’re All Recruiters

“I work for a living, and believe if you aren't an active recruiter/talent agent as an HR pro (regardless of title or position), you're overhead.

I cringe when peer HR types act like administration is job #1 and allow it to dominate their professional identities.

I cringe again if they make no attempt to be an active recruiter.”

-Kris Dunn, VP of HR @ Daxko-Founder of HR Capitalist and Fistful of Talent

Shake Up Your Recruiting Strategy in 2010 Get Social and Get Results

20

Social recruiting is a component of a larger talent acquisition strategy. It’s a competitive advantage for Human Resources departments.

Tools and websites don’t make HR more effective. Strategic thinking and relevant behaviors make HR more effective.

The HR/social media landscape is fluid, dynamic, and bigger than Facebook and Twitter.

Myths and assumptions abound—so test, challenge, and validate.

Metrics tell a story. Understand what you’re asking and why. Learn from the best. Don’t recreate the wheel.
