When I mention social media to HR & Recruiters........

It isn’t what you do – it is who you are

‘Social’ is something you are – it is not something you do.

The media doesn’t determine how social a company.

Does your company culture focus on building relationships

with your customers | employees | prospective employees ?

If not, then it is unlikely

social media will do it

for you.

If yes then lucky you, as

social media will help you all

the way .

Social Media Explained

Twitter > I’m eating a donut

Facebook > I like donuts

Foursquare > This is where I eat donuts

Instagram > Here is a vintage photo of my donut

YouTube > Here I am eating a donut

Thanks to Three Ships Media

YouTube > Here I am eating a donut

LinkedIn > My skills include donut eating

Google+ > I’m a Google employee who eats donuts

Pinterest > Here’s a donut recipe

Spotify > Now listening to “donuts”

Science fiction recruiting becomes reality

The Changes

� National Talent pools are shrinking [especially in-demand skills]

� Global Talent pools are increasing due to mobility

� Company loyalty is diminishing – jobs not careers

� Candidate driven marketplace ensures choice, where money is � Candidate driven marketplace ensures choice, where money is

no longer the primary driver

� Transparency is both a talent problem and an opportunity

Finding ( and employing) good

people is getting harder and

harder!

A short history of social media in recruitment

Lessons learnedLessons learned

Tactics without strategy

Failure to recognise importance of content

Lack of response management & conversation

Engagement – are you kidding?

You are in the palms of your candidates AND employees

So what does your career site look like on a mobile?

Smartphone penetration in

Norway is 85%

The content shift

Steven Ehrlich – Global VP, Client Development, aia worldwide

“The ubiquity of access has given candidates AND

employees the opportunity to create their own content

about organisations how and when they please”

Candidate expectations are changing

“If you wish to persuade me, you must think my

thoughts, feel my feelings, and speak my words”

Cicero 80BC

Social search

Then the game changed......not just social search

Search, plus your world

[Now, do you think it might be worth looking at Google+?]

Adding a social layer is not complex

Why social media for recruitment?

John Sumser , from HR Examiner: "Klout, Peerindex and

Kred are just the start, in 10 years they will be

as advanced as DNA sequencing".

Recruiting by influence

Reach, Influence & Amplification

[ Footnote: Work in progress, but algorithms are improving all the time ]

QR codes anyone?

Tip: Make sure you

take them to a

mobile enabled

page!

The latest, fastest growing social network

I promised you augmented reality.....
