Social networking is the most underrated aspect of online recruitment, and the one with the greatest potential for improving a company’s position in the search for the best talent.
One big reason why the social media has emerged as an important tool in the hiring process these days, is its power to offer hiring managers the ability to gain a broad picture of an individual. It allows you to see the professional beyond their resume. Utilising social media tools enables hiring managers to assess whether a candidate is an appropriate fit for their organisation.
We use many social networking tools such as LinkedIn, Xing, MySpace, twitter, Facebook, etc, to gain a profile of relevant candidates to a particular type of vacancy.
References can help you confirm factual information that candidates provide.
