5. Recruiters must build relationships
• ability to find great people and build
The
relationships with them should be the core competence of
every recruiter. This is what all great recruiters do. Recruiters within
organizations need to get out of the organization and get to know people at all levels
and professions who might be useful to their firm. They need to use
technology to help create the initial
relationship, and then they need to leverage that
by using social media including Twitter,
blogs, websites, and anything else that will
create authentic interaction with a potential candidate.

6. 5 New Recruiter Skills for Success
by Kevin Wheeler May 8, 2009, 5:55 am ET
7. SEO
The adoption of consumer marketing
principles to recruiting.
• Replacing individual postings will be search
engine optimized talent hubs, where candidates
can search for jobs by class and company (e.g.,
all Flash developers at Google).
• These are company- and job-specific niche
boards that will replace the need for aggregators
and all public boards. At these sites prospects
can submit resumes, be funneled to specific
openings, or just be followers.
10. Employee referral programs
• It's also obvious that your best employees
have heard of, or personally know, the
best people in your industry and in their
field of expertise.
• Tapping into this network through a
employee referral program will be a critical
component of tomorrow's programs
11. Time of possession will become
the dominant recruiting metric
for hiring top people
• The sourcing sweet spot of the near future will
be to get these people to call you on the first day
they decide to get serious about considering a
new career opportunity.
• It's pretty obvious that those candidates found
on day one are of higher quality than those
found after they've been looking 2-3 weeks.
(Note: good recruiting agencies are already
doing this.)

(Google Search)
• A friend advertised on Craigslist
for a housekeeper.
Three interesting resumes came to
the top.
She googled each person's name.
15. • The first search turned up a MySpace
page. There was a picture of the
applicant, drinking beer from a funnel.
• Under hobbies, the first entry was,
"binge drinking."
16. • The second search turned up a personal
blog. The most recent entry said,
• "I am applying for some menial jobs that
are below me, and I'm annoyed by it. I'll
certainly quit the minute I sell a few
paintings."

“Twitter is instant messaging made available to the public,”
Hugh Hewitt.
http://www.bitrebels.com/geek/social-media-in-plain-english/
47. • In the World According to Twitter, giving away
access to information rewards the giver by
building followers. The more followers, the more
information comes to the giver to distribute,
which in turn builds more followers. The process
cannot be commanded or controlled; followers
opt in and out as they choose. The results are
transparent and purely quantitative; network size
is all that matters. Networks of this sort are self-
organizing and democratic but without any
collective interaction.

52. Twitter trumps New York Times,

followers (time spent per day: 5 minutes) The best way to engage
your Twitter audience is by sharing fun, useful, or witty advice that
will help them solve their problems. It‟s fast to come up with these –

54. 4 Steps to Find Your Ideal Job on
Twitter
• http://blog.brand-yourself.com/2009/4-
steps-to-find-your-ideal-job-on-twitter/
55. How do I use twitter for the Job
search
• Step 1: Identify Your Brand’s Keywords
• Do a search on yourself and see what comes up. You may find someone
with your name has coveted the top fold. From there, identify what
keywords you can use to differentiate yourself from this person. Should you
be using your full name? Your middle initial? Your affiliation with an
organization or a type of work? Figure out how you want people to find you
so you can build your brand around these keywords.
• Step 2: Become a Blog Reader & Commenter
• Begin reading career-related content on blogs for 10 minutes daily. This will
help you stay-up-to date and in-the-know. Then, start posting thoughtful,
well-written, professional comments on these blogs related to your field of
interest. Don‟t know where to find these blogs? Go to www.AllTop.com –
they are like a magazine rack of online blogs. There, you‟ll be able to find
dozens of blogs related to your career aspirations so that you can post
comments to enhance your credibility as a knowledgeable member of your
field/industry. Better still, if you are reading this, you are on a blog RIGHT
NOW. So, take 2 extra minutes to post a comment and you‟ll be on your
way.
56. • To keep the process simple, batch your tips and advice. I use
www.TweetLater.com to schedule my timeless tweets, and space them
out evenly throughout the day. HINT: The most active Twitter days are
Monday through Wednesday and the peak Twitter times are early
afternoon (noon, specifically). You could spend 25-35 minutes a week
writing advice or 5 minutes a day to take advantage of this form of
engagement.
• Answer questions (time spent per day: 5 minutes)
• I use Twitter‟s search engine to find questions in my area of expertise.
Let‟s say I wanted to brand myself as an MBA Application Consultant. I
would use the search term “GMAT ?”
• You can subscribe to any search terms you want via RSS by using
“Feed for this Query” on the right sidebar. It‟s really important to
choose your queries wisely. The trick is to a) pick a search term that is
very specific and b) include the question mark – this particular query
only produces two to three items per day.

57. RT or Retweet
• One of the greatest aspects of Twitter is how quickly
word of mouth spreads globally. If a user thinks another
users tweet is interesting, they may choose to retweet
what they say. In this instance, the member will repeat
what the twitter user said. Example: “Did Jeremiah got a
doctorate in Twitter?” if a second user sees this and
agrees, they will echo it back in the following way:
“Retweet: @Jowyang Did Jeremiah got a doctorate in
Twitter?”. In a shortened version, they may also use RT,
an abbreviated version of Retweet, it would go like this:
“RT: Did Jeremiah got a doctorate in Twitter?”. And in
case you‟re wondering, no I didn‟t get a doctorate in
Twitter, but I did get my undergrad in Twitter. BT a
Bachelors of Twittering.
