Recruiting via Social Networks Best Way to Reach Gen Y Job Prospects

A December survey by the Pew Internet Project reveals that 75% of adults ages 18 to 24 in the U.S. use social networks. Understanding the reach of Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, etc., smart companies are using such sites to tap into a veritable gold mine of young talent to attract candidates with interests and skills that mirror jobs they are seeking to fill.
Through innovative third party applications that bridge data-based applications like Salesforce CRM to Facebook, savvy recruiters locate prospects through keyword searches. Viral recruiting also encourages current employees to recommend friends in their network for job openings. Those leads are often considered the highest quality, as they are pinpointing candidates that are most likely to be interested in job openings.The data used to make the match with the open job position lives within the social network. But personal privacy is not invaded as the most widely used social networks give consumers control over their personal information.
If you’re not using social networks to gain an alliance with young prospects, you’re missing the boat.
