WHAT IS SOCIAL MEDIA?
• Think of it as the 3 C’s:
– community– content – conversation
• It is the catch-all term for the variety of interactive online platforms which are transforming every aspect of modern life.
• It’s about connecting, communicating, publishing, and personal branding – enabling passive readers to become active contributors.

What is Social Media ? • It’s real-time, viral and democratic – which means opinions and news travels faster
than ever before.
• It’s about your target audience access to online content that is interesting and relevant to their lives
• It’s a great source of market intelligence and information
• It’s happening all around us, whether we are joining in or not.
• It is now transcending the ‘social’ to include the commercial – with businesses and organisations awakening to the potential benefits - and damage – that can be brought about thanks to Web2.0.
• Above all, it’s a place for you to tell your story, in your words – to the people with whom you need to connect to secure the talent your business needs going forward.

Social Media is fast becoming an integral part of the Corporate
Recruiters’ toolkit
• It is a means to connect with target audiences of numerous types: most especially future talent, candidates (passive or active, employees and alumni
• Social media has already become the key tool for managing corporate reputation.
• It is a complementary media – and not a replacement for all that has gone before

• Facebook is primarily seen as more social than business.
• Increasingly blurred, and behaviours online are such that the distinction ceases to be relevant.
• The hard truth is – if it’s where your audience is – you need to be there too.

questions on facebook.”

Additional thoughts for another day…
• The power of Google– Search Engine Optimisation– Ad words
• RSS feeds• Blogs and their uses• Job Boards• Careers site enhancement• Deep Search methods
![Page 34: Social media cipd pres](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042606/547fc1f6b4af9f66558b496b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
In summary….• Social media is here to stay • It’s business applications- including for HR – are
becoming more apparent by the tweet.• It is not ‘free’ – it requires
– discipline, dedication and determination• It’s as much about listening as talking• Being open and 2-way requires boldness and courage
to take the brickbats with the bouquets• The dividends of an authentic employer brand
presence could be business changing• If the US Army are at ease using FB & twitter to recruit
- why not you?
![Page 35: Social media cipd pres](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042606/547fc1f6b4af9f66558b496b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
An HR response?• Web 2.0 means you’re already being talked about –
question is how to join and lead the conversation
• Expectation that social media strategy is part of the mix of a serious recruiter
– Establish objectives– Align to business / HR strategy– Plan the investment in time– Build a business case– Start small– Build momentum– Integrate SocMed into existing web presence– Keep listening
