Meaning more than half of your candidates would have seen your Christmas party pictures, which is a good amount of potential candidates you could be working with. Social recruiting is becoming more popular amongst recruiters and there are good benefits when it comes to reaching more passive candidates through social media.
Recruiters can get a further reach, enabling them to find candidates faster and at a lower cost because you can start using most social tools free of charge. Additionally, social media tools allow recruiters to engage with their target audience and focus on reaching candidates they may never find through traditional hiring methods. On a platform like LinkedIn, you can specifically target connections and an audience that relates to your business.
Another reason to use social media for social recruiting is there are less spam and more real people on social media, and recruiters can get a better and higher response rate when communicating with potential candidates.
Social media is also a great way to expand your recruiting pool because of the personal element. Social platforms can be used to keep in contact with people directly or used as a referral path for people to use. Referrals also have the highest chances to result in a mutual fit. You may not think about it this way, but social media can also be used to screen candidates before an interview.
The process of screening candidates is nothing new, but what social media does is give recruiters an easily accessible tool to view peoples personal qualities. First, we chose to target only males between the ages of 18 and 25, living in New York. One could even exclude by race. In the US, federal human rights laws forbid recruiting in a way that discriminates against people based on age, race, religion, gender, pregnancy, disability or sexual orientation.
So even though the targeted advertisements themselves might not appear discriminatory, the process of targeting them to some people and excluding others can be. But, she says, if the recruiter has publicised the targeting, it could open them up to legal repercussions like a fine or court order. Credit: Getty Images.
