proposition (returns that your employee enjoy in return to

their work) you offer.

Keep Your Connections Engaged

Levels

Creating social media profiles is not enough, but you need to

keep them lively and fresh and maintain the interests of those

who have joined you.

employees and others and you must entertain each one of

them.

Provide fresh content and update it on regular basis

Be active in participating in group discussions

Highlight the achievements of the employees and those of

the company

Invite new employees to share their views about the

recruitment process

Here are some Ideas

Encourage the employees to share their experiences about

promotions, company’s work culture and other aspects.

Allow the employees to share their innovative ideas and

reviews, both good and bad.

Take care of the negative remarks, feedbacks and ratings

expertly.

Learn from Other Employers

and Use Your Employees’

Networks

Top players in every field are already extracting the benefits of

hiring through social media channels.

Most of them share their experiences and success stories

online and you can use them as examples.

Another great idea is to use the social networks and profiles of

your existing employees to find the new ones.

You will be surprised to know how your employees can help

you in searching the best people for different job positions.

Don’t forget to reward them for their contributions.

Don’t forget to use the social media networks to

employees the resumes you receive. Background checks

and employee histories can be accessed with ease most of

the times to make the right selections.

Following this social approach, you can save time,

money and efforts and secure the best talent for your
