positions.

15. Social Media: Post-match/Pre-hire
Because social media is evolving, there are not any clear cut boundaries yet, but common sense
can help navigating the hiring process once a potential match is made.
Here’s a link to a great primer for applicant screening recently published by SHRM:

The short of it? Be consistent and watch out for pitfalls where HR could create a claim
(eg. not making a hire because someone was doing something “crazy” online).
16. Part II
DO YOUR PART: MAKE YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA PROFILE IRRESISTIBLE
TO YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE
17. Make search
engines fall in
love with you
Use the right keywords, which are the
search terms, position descriptors, and
job functions that describe you and
what you seek.
Keywords are what Google, Bing, etc,
use to help us find stuff and get found
on the internet.
21. What happens
when your
profile “speaks”
to others?
Relevant job opportunities fall into your lap,
Relevant connections find you first, and
Your network grows with people you can help
and who can help you.
23. Automatic Social Hacks
Content Curation (vs. Creation)
Find Stuff to Post Automatically: Google Alerts, Feedly
“Hire” the Internet to Work for You: IFTTT
Never Forget to Update Anything Ever: Buffer/Hootsuite
24. Content curation is the process of sorting through content
on the web and presenting it in a meaningful and organized
way around a specific theme.

26. On average, your posts should be:
70% helpful, but non-promotional posts
20% promotional posts about open positions
10% fun posts that show the passions of your people.
PS…I totally break this rule constantly.
