The sky is the limit when it comes to finding talent online! Did you know more than 535 million users combined are on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn? Here are a few ways to connect with this often untapped talent pool: Social MediaSocial media is an effective (and FREE!) tool for both employers and employees. In addition to other recruitment efforts, don't forget to make your job opportunity prominent on social media and start connecting to potential employees in real time. Company WebsiteIf you don't have one already, set up a "Careers" page on your company website and make sure it is kept up-to-date. Assign someone on your team to make sure new postings are added as soon as a position becomes available and remove any expired positions after the role has been filled. Make sure to highlight why your company is a great place to work. Posting a Job on LinkedInEach company should start by setting up a company page. It is free to do and can be done online. Then, depending on your hiring needs, you can either pay to post positions online (this is a good option if you need to hire fewer than 5 positions this year) or you could contact a sales rep to learn about customized solutions if you'll be filling more than 5 positions/year.
