Using Social Media In HR & Recruiting [SLIDESHARE]

Posted by Jennifer on March 25, 2013  |   4 Comments »

Since signing up for a LinkedIn account in early 2006 (member #5,852,039 here), I’ve considered myself a “Social Media Anthropologist”, because I love to study how social media affects the entire employment process – from personal branding, job search, employment branding, recruiting, human resources and employee development.

During that time, I’ve sought out and followed many of the pioneers in our industry who are leading the way and companies who are implementing “best practices” – and I’ve utilized social media to expand my network, attract and recruit talent, communicate with employees and build my personal/business brand.

In the last 8 years, I’ve had the opportunity to share what I’ve learned (and what I’m learning) with business leaders at a variety of industry and corporate events, and I often share those presentations privately with my clients via my Slideshare.net account.

Recently, I opened up several of my previous presentations for public access on Slideshare and I’d like to share one of my Using Social Media In HR & Recruiting presentations from 2012 with you here.

Since the world of social media is constantly changing, this presentation is constantly evolving and regularly updated. The latest version will be the basis for my upcoming pre-conference workshop at the 2013 Louisiana SHRM Conference in Baton Rouge on April 7, 2013. In this workshop, we’ll be digging deeper into developing a social media strategy, choosing tools, managing time and content, as well as “social” recruiting.

I’m looking forward to learning more and sharing more about how social media impacts the employment process in 2013!

I’d love to hear from you on the challenges you face with implementing a social media strategy in your organization. What do you want to learn more about? What’s new and exciting to you? Share with me in the comments and help me to make 2013′s presentations even better!

LinkedIn Is King In Social Recruiting, But Facebook & Twitter Also Important

Posted by Jennifer on February 13, 2012  |   7 Comments »

The folks at Bullhorn Reach recently took the time to summarize the social media actual activity of recruiters and job seekers in the Bullhorn Reach user network in 2011 (over 35,000 recruiters) across the “big 3″ social recruiting platforms – LinkedIn, Facebook & Twitter. The results, while not surprising, are certainly interesting.

A few interesting findings included in the report include:

  • Recruiters are connected to all three social networks, but are using LinkedIn and Twitter much more than Facebook to recruit talent.
  • LinkedIn is driving the most views and applications per job posted on the three networks.
  • Twitter followers are much more likely to apply for a job than connections on LinkedIn or friends on Facebook.
  • 21% of recruiters are connected to all 3 of the “big 3″ social networks, but 48% use LinkedIn exclusively.
  • Agency and corporate recruiters exhibit slightly different connecting and social recruiting strategies across the networks.

I’d recommend taking a few minutes to review the entire report, but for those of you with a short attention span (like me), Bullhorn summarized some of the results in a handy Infographic as well.

LinkedIn Recruiting Trends 2011 – United States [Slideshare]

Posted by Jennifer on October 26, 2011  |   1 Comment »

Recently, I came across this presentation on slideshare.net summarizing LinkedIn’s Global Recruiting Trends 2011 survey for the United States and I thought I’d share it with you.

Some interesting stats from this report include:

  • Over 6 in 10 companies in the US plan to hire more professionals in 2011 than in 2010.
  • Although 63% of US respondents expect hiring to increase in 2011, only 45% expect their hiring budget to increase.
  • Finding better ways to source passive candidates is the top recruiting trend in the US, while using social and professionals networks is a close second.
  • 59% of companies in the US report social professional networks are a minor source in their recruiting efforts, while 29% indicate it is a major source.
  • 35% of companies are worried that their competitors will learn to use social networks and social media more effectively than they will.
  • LinkedIn is the most popular social network for recruiting, used by 96% of respondents.
Check out the presentation uploaded by SBG Media Group below.
LinkedIn Global Recruiting Trends

Report Summary:

  • Hiring is expected to increase in the US, but budgets are not keeping pace.
  • Social professional networking is seen as one of the most important, long- lasting recruiting trends in the US and most companies are already using it to some degree.
  • Sourcing passive candidates is a key trend.
  • The use of talent community-building and employment branding tools is expected to increase.
  • Employee referral programs are anticipated to grow.

Best Practices In Recruiting With Social Media [Slideshare]

Posted by Jennifer on October 7, 2011  |   3 Comments »

This Fall, I’ve had the pleasure of attending and speaking at five State SHRM Conferences (Illinois, Florida, Indiana, Colorado & Minnesota) about the topic “Using Social Media for HR & Recruiting” – and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it! I’m so excited to see continued and growing interest and enthusiasm from human resources & recruiting pros around learning more about how to utilize social media as part of their day-to-day activites.

To address that growing interest, a couple of the conferences I’ve attended – Illinois & Colorado – scheduled a full day of social media related sessions with presenters covering the topic from a variety of angles (including HR, recruiting, legal, usage by unions, etc.).

Last week, I spoke a the Minnesota SHRM Conference, and they included two day’s worth of social media offerings! On Day 1, I presented two sessions – “Using Social Media in HR: Attract, Recruit, Retain” and “Best Practices In Recruiting With Social Media” and my friend and favorite @MNHeadhunter – Paul DeBettignies – took over on Day 2, covering “Rocking LinkedIn: Profiles, Connections, Sourcing & Recruiting” and “Social Media for Recruiting: Let’s Get Doing”.

I thought I’d share my slide deck for the “Best Practices In Recruiting With Social Media” session in an effort to highlight some of the Minnesota employers (plus a few others) whom I believe are doing some cool and interesting things with their use of social media for recruiting and employment branding.

Three Investments To Make In Future Recruiting Success When Hiring Takes a Break

With recent reports of zero job creation in August 2011 and a still struggling economy, it’s clear that many companies have either shuttered their recruiting function until things improve or are throttling back their efforts heading into the final months of the year. As a result, more than a few recruiters may find that they have some extra time on their hands and need to find ways to continue to add value within their organizations.

Three high-impact opportunities to focus on include:

1. Review your careers site through the eyes of a potential applicant

2. Use social media to build virtual (and real) relationships with potential candidates

3. Volunteer for cross-functional teams and spend time with hiring managers

5 Mistakes Recruiters Make On Twitter

Posted by Jennifer on August 17, 2011  |   15 Comments »

When I signed up for Twitter in March 2008, I was a working as a busy Executive Recruiter and always seeking new ways to brand myself and the business I worked for, as well as ways to identify potential candidates. In those early days, I spent quite a bit of time learning how to connect, to build relationships and to find business benefits for the time that I spent online and on Twitter.

One of the biggest benefits I found was building an awareness of top talent in my local area – and worldwide – that I could consider for opportunities with my clients and “meeting” many awesome people that I believe I would never have come across through other channels – referrals included. As a result of building rapport and familiarity via Twitter, I was often able to reach out to my connections if there was an opportunity that I felt may be of interest or that they may know someone whom they’d like to refer – and they were more than willing to help. Personally, I never really used Twitter as a candidate sourcing method, although there are plenty of effective ways to use Twitter to identify talent to recruit.

Now, as a speaker, trainer and consultant working with companies and individuals on how best to use Twitter and other methods for recruiting top talent, I’m always on the lookout for best practices – and I’ve also come across quite a few “not so best practices” as well.

Below are five examples of “what not to do” on Twitter as a Recruiter.

1. Posting only job links

The best way to find the least value from Twitter as a Recruiter is to post only links to the jobs that you’re recruiting for. Why? Because just as no one would want to spend time talking with a Recruiter at a networking event who only spouted job links, they also don’t want to “talk” to them on Twitter.

Twitter is about engaging in conversation and adding value. Recruiters who only post job links typically have very few Followers and the visibility for all of those links they’re sharing is practically nil. These Recruiters are often the first to say “Twitter doesn’t work for recruiting”. At least not the way they’re doing it.

2. Protecting Tweets

Nothing says “I’m looking to build some mutually beneficial business relationships” like not trusting others with the information you share. Twitter is designed to be most effective when you’re able to access and participate in the larger conversation. Personally, I don’t follow accounts with protected tweets and they typically have very few Followers. Why? Because they’re doin’ it wrong.

3. Incomplete Bio/No Profile Photo/No Website Link

Want people to follow you on Twitter? Give them a reason to do so. You’ve got 160 characters to build interest, include keywords and share a bit about yourself. People make Follow decisions quickly on Twitter. If you’re not interesting or inviting, they’ll likely not connect. And for gosh sakes, give them a way to find out more about you/your company with a link to your careers page, company website or at least your LinkedIn profile. The Recruiter below is asking job seekers to get in touch with him, but provides no way to do so. My guess is – they’re not.

4. Engaging and Interacting Primarily With Other Recruiters

Many Recruiters who’ve given Twitter a shot and feel it’s not worth it may have joined and connected only with a few friends (other Recruiters) – and never really sought out or developed a following among people in the industries or professions in which they recruit. While Twitter can be helpful for finding other Recruiters for split opportunities (3rd party Recruiters), you won’t be able to find fish unless you fish where the fish are.

For example, take my favorite “anti-social” Recruiter – Jerry Albright. Jerry has long been a super successful Recruiter, but he regularly touts the lack of benefits he sees from Twitter.

Take a look at Jerry’s Twitter timeline, and most of his interactions are with other Recruiters and industry associates. However, many of the IT and Engineering types he recruits for are definitely on Twitter. In my opinion, the only thing standing between a Recruiter like Jerry and Twitter success is building a larger following and engaging more within the IT and Engineering communities. Jerry is funny, informative and shares legitimate job openings. It’s likely he could snag one of those illusive “passive candidates” for one of his openings who aren’t even looking, but follow him because of his humor and wit.

5. NOT Talking About What You Had For Lunch

I recently attended a Recruiting Conference where the VP of Talent Acquisition at a local Fortune 200 company mentioned that his company was not using Twitter as a part of their recruiting strategy because “we don’t want our recruiters tweeting about what they had for lunch”. While I would certainly agree that Recruiters (and other employees) need training and guidance on how to best represent themselves and their companies on Twitter, I think this VP has missed the point of Twitter. Being a “whole person” on Twitter and sharing hobbies, interests, photos and tidbits from daily life makes for a more interesting person to follow and can position a Recruiter to share job openings and company information with a broader community of Followers.

For example, Chris Hoyt – Talent Engagement & Marketing Leader at PepsiCo. – classifies himself as a “life streamer” and has built quite a following by sharing interesting and funny tweets from his work, family and personal life along with regular mentions of the brands that he works with and the jobs his team is recruiting for.

In summary, to make this “Using Twitter For Recruiting” thing work, DO the following:

  1. Engage and add value with your tweets.
  2. Take advantage of the ability to build your network – by allowing people to connect with and follow you.
  3. Provide good information in your Bio to encourage Followers and include an appropriate link to learn more about you/your company.
  4. Follow and engage with people in the professions and industries that you recruit for – in addition to friends and professional peers.
  5. Be yourself. People want to follow real people – not auto-tweeters or corporate robots.

Top 100 HR & Recruiting Industry Pros To Follow On Twitter (2011)

Posted by Jennifer on August 12, 2011  |   32 Comments »

One of the more popular posts on this blog is “Who Should Recruiters Follow On Twitter? 100+ Suggestions“, so for this week’s “Top __” list, I’ve created an “updated and improved” version of that list to share with you.

The list includes a variety of professionals in the HR and Recruiting spaces – not just practitioners (although there are many). The list also includes consultants, a few pundits and maybe even a “thought leader” or two. In other words, it’s a good mix of people throughout the industry who share a variety of perspectives and includes many people who’s entire day-job is to study and share best practices with me and you.

Since there are many, many HR & recruiting professionals using Twitter, I wanted to try to create a “Top 100″ list of people who are truly engaging and are providing value that is recognized by their Followers. As with prior lists I’ve created, my methodology is not perfect – but at least it’s consistent. To create this list, I looked at hundreds (yes hundreds) of Twitter accounts where Human Resources, HR, recruiting, etc. were mentioned in the person’s bio. (So if you’re not on this list and you think you should be, check your bio to ensure you have the right keywords included for which you want to be found.)

And while people are “ranked” on this list, it certainly doesn’t mean some are better than others. These tweeters come in all flavors. Some are verbose. Some savor their words – quality over quantity. Some share a lot of links. Some include quite a bit of their personal lives in their tweets. But all tweet about HR & recruiting at some point.

Methodology:

  1. Only individual accounts were included (i.e. no company accounts or multi-contributor accounts.)
  2. Accounts were ranked on number of Followers, Twitter Grader score, Klout and the number of Twitter Lists they have been added to by their followers. Each category was ranked 1 – 100 and weighted equally. My goal in using these measures was to not just look at who’s got the most Followers, but also their reach, influence and effect on their Followers.

Want to follow individuals on this list? Click on their Twitter name to check out their Bio and follow or click on this TweepML icon to see/follow the entire list.

Required Reading For Recruiters – Recruiting 3.0 & 4.0 Explained

Posted by Jennifer on August 10, 2011  |   7 Comments »

As a way to keep up with best practices and what’s new/next in the HR & Recruiting worlds, I read a ton of articles, blogs and tweets to try to keep up. And as a student of the game, I enjoy much of the content. I’m informed by a majority of it, challenged by some of it and inspired by a bit of it.

Today, I wanted to point you to a couple of articles that hit on all three of those categories for me. Some really awesome stuff written and posted on the recruiter resource and community – ERE.net – from Matthew Jeffery – Head of EMEA Talent Acquisition & Global Talent Brand at Autodesk.

The first article written a couple of months ago – “A Vision for the Future of Recruitment: Recruitment 3.0″ – should be required reading for all recruiters and includes much of the content and ideas that Matthew shared in his fantastic opening keynote at the 2011 Spring ERE Expo. (Check out the video of Matthew’s presentation – which is well worth watching and thanks ERE for making it available!)

Today on ERE.net is a follow-up article from Matthew Jeffery titled “Recruitment 4.0: Crowdsourcing, Gamification, Recruitment as a Profit Center… and the Death of Recruitment Agencies!”.

In this post, Matthew nicely sums up the evolution of recruiting and shares his predictions for the future of Recruiting (4.0). Here’s an excerpt:

Recruitment 1.0 encompasses traditional recruiting over a huge timeline, including good old-fashioned fax machines, print advertising, (post, spray ,and pray), and Rolodexes moving into traditional ATSs. Recruiters more focused on processes than end results. The basic any-bum-on-any-seat philosophy.

Recruitment 2.0 saw the move onto online and using technology for recruitment purposes, including the advent of online job boards & online CV searches. While the technology moved forward, the traditional methodology of 1.0 was prevalent, including online post, spray, and pray candidate attraction (aka the recruitment lottery of let’s hope the right-ish person looks at the online advertisement, at the right time and feels willing to go to the effort to apply).

Both Recruitment 1.0 and 2.0 were/are fundamentally focused on the active job seekers, (applying to vacancies, on agency books, and those watching job boards like a possessed predator).

Recruitment 3.0 is a huge leap as it moves recruitment out of its comfort zone. The beating heart of 3.0 is the non-active/passive individual and a focus on “best talent” and building predictable talent pipelines. In addition, the philosophy of “everyone is a potential candidate so engage them” is central. 3.0 takes us into building engaged, two-way, free-conversation based, transparent communities. This is anchored by things like employment branding, marketing, and PR. 3.0 is not only concerned with building communities but mapping key competitors and seducing cream-of-the-crop talent with your brand and in-house opportunities.

So what exactly is Recruitment 4.0? Grab a cup of coffee (or a Diet Coke) and a snack and take a few minutes to read the rest of the article. It’s meaty stuff to chew on.

Regardless of the size of your company, to stay ahead of the game and compete for talent in the “new normal”, you’ve got to be thinking about how to evolve your recruiting practices. The information contained in these two articles by Matthew Jeffery would be great to utilize as a discussion starter with your recruiting team or CEO and as you’re thinking about goals, objectives and making plans for 2012 and beyond.

What do you think about some of the ideas presented? Are we really ready for Recruiting to become a profit center and to include games in our recruiting processes? Will job boards meet their (constantly predicted) demise? Will recruiting agencies no longer be necessary?

I’d love to know what you think.
