3 Social Media Sites to Use in Your Talent Strategy
The workforce is going social and it’s time to get on board. With Millennials poised to make up 50 percent of the global workforce, it’s important for employers to engage them where they spend most of their time: social media. In addition to gaining access to millions of people, organizations are promoting their brand and finding individuals who match their company culture. Here are three platforms that will increase your search pool significantly.
Social media and mobile applications are a great resource as they put your company in front of millions of potential candidates at the click of a button.
1. Facebook
Boasting a healthy 1.44 billion monthly active users, Facebook is a major resource for companies looking to get the word out on their latest job posting.
