13th November 2013
Social Recruiting Frustrations
• I don’t get any engagement when I tweet – it feels like I am
talking to myself!
• Social recruiting doesn’t work! I have never had any
responses from posting jobs…
• I don’t have TIME to mess about with tweeting! Arghhhh!
• Hiring Managers need to fill roles quickly and social media
engagement is too SLOW!
• I don’t get the hype – what I have always done works fine.
• We don’t have enough followers / fans – it’s pointless
sharing our jobs
• I don’t get support from the top to implement social
recruiting – they’re scared of the implications
