Attracting Top Talent Using Traditional and New Social Media Tools

If they find nothing, at best they assume your company is arcane and lacking modern practices. At worst they think you’re trying to hide something. Either way, you lose out on meeting a great candidate.

If you’re serious about finding the best talent and you’re not up to speed on best practices for recruiting on social media, this course is a must. We’ve asked one of our top-rated speakers, Valerie Grubb, to help you navigate the complex world of social media and show you how traditional recruiting methods are being used in nontraditional ways in social networking sites, virtual job fairs and contextual ad placement.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• How traditional job search engines like Indeed.com and Careerbuilder.com are continually evolving to stay current and help jobseekers and employers connect
• How to build a “recruitment brand” on social media
• How to use blogs and podcasts to attract attention from the most qualified candidates
• Examples of how cutting-edge companies have found job candidates by using Facebook, Twitter,
• LinkedIn and YouTube.
• What other options exist beyond the Big 4 social networking sites and what’s next on the horizon.
