Social Recruiting

2016 was an epic year for hiring, and it showed on social media. Twitter was practically bursting with insightful, helpful, and humorous recruitment tweets – and we took the liberty of scouring the twittersphere to find some of the absolute best.

Enjoy!

  1. Empathize with talent: don’t forget to put yourself in the jobseeker’s shoes.

  1. If you don’t value the candidate you can’t value the job you are selling. Here we are reminded, it’s a recruiter’s job to treat candidates with respect:

  1. Recruiters are optimistic heading into 2017.

  1. People are also putting their money where their mouth is, leading to more investment in HR tech.

  1. Josh Bersin, as always, has the nuts and bolts of how HR technology will grow (but this time it’s in an easy to consume cartoon).

  1. Make sure you know the principles of recruiting. Start with this reading list from Glen Cathey, a recruiter’s recruiter.

  1. What makes up the core of a brilliant recruiter? Some argue that it’s curiosity.

  1. Collaboration with your hiring team is something that recruiters need to constantly work on.

  1. And when the whole hiring team does work together, it can turn out purr-fectly.

  1. In candidate outreach, be careful with how you scale the personalization of your outreach.

  1. But if you personalize with style, talent may just recognize the value they are presenting.

  1. There’s always something new to figure out, like another topical monster. When Randstad bought Monster for $429 million this year, there were many tweets, but this PokememonGo visual summed up the entire acquisition.

  1. Some songs just keep on playing. Kevin Grossman quoted ADP’s head of HR making an apt cultural comparison between employees that just seem to be there but not doing much and a certain unleavable hotel.

  1. Others will try to recruit those employees, and while open-ended questions are a good starting point, they can lead to some awkward conversations.

  1. Self evaluation is essential. Jackye Clayton, Editor at Recruiting Tools, has evaluated the tech stack of many recruiting teams. Here she speaks to what that means for your company’s ATS.

  1. The modern recruiter must be a community builder. You can’t grow a community without taking that risk. Here Arron Daniels (HEB Careers) quoted ADP’s Jenny DeVaughn’s growth first mentality.

  1. You can’t just sit around and expect candidates to show up. Move beyond the career site.

  1. Don’t forget to be resourceful in your candidate sourcing efforts.

  1. Sometimes you just fall in the love with the perfect candidate.
