This is the presentation delivered by Andy Headworth from http://wwwsironaconsulting.com to the APSCo Marketing Forum in London on 25th April 2013. It is about how and why recruiters should be using Google+ for recruitment. I look at the power of Google+ for search engine optimisation (SEO), building talent pools and talent communities using Google+ and the power of content within Google + with Authorship.
