A Recruiters Entrance to Social Media

Posted at September 27, 2009

Two years ago I met Jason Alba when my previous employer had brought him in to train our company on the benefits of using LinkedIn. As he went around the room and began discussing the different tools and resources, it became very clear that I was one of the few people in the room that not only had embraced social media and LinkedIn as a recruiting tool, but was on my way to building my online brand.

After that initial seminar, with some help from Jason, and countless hours searching the Internet for new user groups and social media platforms, I was able to utilize this entire corner of the Internet that was not the same people that I saw on the same 5 job boards that my company had access too. What I found, is that I had a lot of company in these areas. So many companies and recruiters are now utilizing these tools to find talent.

This is why I am so excited to be involved in Affordable Outplacement. The training videos are a comprehensive education on the world of social media and LinkedIn for job search. We want you to go where the recruiters are going. Build your online brand, utilize the techniques of networking in its new digital form.
