Why not use social? ● Management concerns
● “Recruiting manager is unfamiliar with how to work with this and is not open to this concept”
● “Boss does not believe it is a priority.”● Distrust/corporate culture
● “We don't want staff on Facebook all day.”● Perceived market apathy
● “Most of our customers don't use social media”
