Using Twitter to recruit

Now that the basics are out of the way, how should you best use social media to recruit anyone? There are lots of ways, however I'm going to give you some different ideas to take advantage of on the popular social media sites. The first site is:

Twitter:


1. Make sure if you tweet that you are looking for someone, include a link to a job posting or job description rather than a homepage or any other place that doesn't talk specifically about the job. Remember that most people check Twitter while on the go somewhere, coffee shops, lunch, so they want the information right away.


2. Tweet the job description with different titles. Remember you only have 140 characters to get your message out. Some words will resonate with some job seekers and some will not.


3. Shorten the link to your job posting to save you character space on your messages. Sites like http://bit.ly/ are great sites to do this.


4. Use Job Angels to spread the word about your job. For more information how it works: http://twitter.com/JobAngels

Social media sites are changing all the time. This is not meant to be a comprehensive list, but rather a way to get things started. Your feedback is always welcome.
Thanks!
