THE ROLE OF SOCIAL MEDIA WITHIN RECRUITMENT

Knowing which social media is the most successful for a particular role is essential to finding and recruiting high quality candidates. From the top social media sites, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, it is important to know what their benefits are to maximise return on investment.

THE BRIGHT TEAM'S TIPS

"Even when you regularly use social media to recruit it can be a daunting prospect to add it to a new recruitment campaign. Social media changes more regularly than most recruitment platforms and it is important to keep up to date with what these changes are.

Networking with other recruiters, speaking with your advertising agency and attending webinars will all help you to keep on top of updates to platforms."

James Digby
Managing Director of Bright

"Social media has been incredibly successful for organisations looking to promote their products and services. It works in a very similar way for organisations looking to promote their employer brand.

Mixing your recruitment with social media can be risky. Social media has a very wide range of people on it. However, when a strategy is in place, these risks can quite easily be reduced."
