Introducing the Essential Guide to Social Recruiting
By Joanne Chu on Aug 21, 2019 5:00:39 AM

There’s a lot of talk out there about social recruiting, and for good reason. Social recruiting is the art and science of finding, attracting, and hiring job candidates through social media. In a tight labor market with the unemployment rate at a 49-year low, companies need to utilize every channel they can to reach and attract potential candidates. With social media providing access to the largest pool of active and passive candidates, it’s no longer a matter of if HR professionals should make social recruitment part of their hiring strategy, but how.

With 75 pages full of social media and recruitment best practices, this guide is your go-to resource for all things social recruiting. No matter where you are on your social recruiting journey—whether that’s looking to expand on an existing program, launching a new program at your current company, or just hearing about social recruiting for the first time—this guide has something for everyone.
