Hiring on Social Media | SmartRecruiters

Are you a small business going through the usual hiring blues? When more than 850+ million people are on Facebook and while 150+ million professionals spend time trying to find jobs, network with others, and create relationships that last a lifetime, why not use a tool that leverages the power of social media?

70% of companies already use social media while hiring staff. Social media behavior of potential candidates is already a major factor when it comes to decision making for recruiters.

SmartRecruiters plugs your business into social media. It’s a free recruiting software that’s free, easy to use, crawls the web to extend your job posting, and allows you to stay in control of your hiring process.

 

Generation next is on Social Media: Where are you looking for talent?

Newspaper ads have no way to show you how effective your ads are. Job portals do allow you dig into a database of potential hires but they allow you no more insight into job applicants except for what’s written on their resume. Social media, on the other hand, let’s you peek into a vast sea of details about your prospective job applicants. So how you do leverage that power of social media?

SmartRecruiters pulls you straight into the next generation of hiring using social media.

Allow yourself the liberty of “One Click” job posting across the paid, free, and even niche job postings spread out to chosen social media channels such as Facebook, Linked In, and Twitter.

 

Post Jobs and then crunch numbers

Reviewing applicants is now a breeze with the “applicant tracking” feature available with SmartRecruiters. Collaborate with your HR team, other colleagues, and management easily. Generate detailed reports that will give you insights on applicant responses, effectiveness of respective social media channels, and even pay attention to detail such as cost per hire.

Let there be fairness

Why should you let your HR managers have the last say? Why not make recruiting a more democratic process where everyone in your company has a say in hiring? It’s now possible to do that with the cool collaborative recruiting software module that’s a part of SmartRecruiters. After applicants send in their details, review each applicant and let the hiring team, your colleagues, and the rest of the management pick favorites. May the best candidate(s) win.
