Technology has been a game-changer in the past 10 years, and you better believe it is transforming career development
by Chris Kulbaba4. Employers are using social recruiting
“Social recruiting” is the process of sourcing or recruiting candidates through the use of social platforms such as LinkedIn. Much like it has changed how we live our lives, social media has found a way into how business is being performed across the globe. Many companies are embracing social media to increase their business, leverage the impact of their brands, create awareness of their products and services, and many are not. The companies that are ahead of the curve and are early adopters in the process of social recruiting are finding many benefits to this process, and the staff being recruited this way are already fully engaged.
