Social networking sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn are some of the most powerful tools

available to recruiters today. Facebook has more than 500 million members and regularly

surpasses Google in site visits per day.1LinkedIn has increased its number of registered users

from roughly 40 million in 2009 to more than 100 million in 2011.2

Your company may recognize the potential for social recruiting or may already be using the

tools, but a social recruiting strategy needs to be part of the companys overall goals and

objectives to deliver true return on investment (ROI). This white paper will help you get started

in reaching highly qualified candidates and passive job seekers, building company brand

recognition, reducing sourcing costs, and meeting company objectives.

As usage continues to

skyrocket, more businesses are recognizing the fact that high-quality candidates can bereached faster and at lower cost using social networks than traditional recruiting methods.

Social networks can give recruiters a competitive edge in locating and engaging the best

candidates available to reach your companys recruiting objectives.
