Social Recruitment on the Rise
June 1, 2009 | Author: Aswan Morgan | Filed under: Career Change, Job Hunting, The Networking Habit
Have you read Jobvite’s 2009 Social Recruitment Survey results? It’s a telling report that wraps some numbers around the rise of networking in finding, qualifying, and hiring candidates. Some of the stats that jumped out:
- Of the companies surveyed, 76% reported investing more in employee referrals to find candidates. Seventy-two percent invested more in social networks. These are the top two areas of growth for candidate sourcing.
- More companies use LinkedIn (76%) and web searches (67%) to research candidates than calling references (61%)!
As an UpMover™, follow your Action Plan as it encourages you to build and enhance your online professional presence, reach out to specific contacts that you’ve prioritized in My Network, and complete other tasks that boost your market value. Also, stay tuned for UpMo’s Job Readiness Evaluator—a powerful assessment that takes into account your “recruitability” along with other important measures, and appraises how prepared you are to hunt for and successfully land the right job in the next 90 days.
Recruiters and hiring managers constantly tell us that the best job candidates can confidently articulate a clear career plan. As we evolve, expect to use UpMo as a deep, highly-enriched résumé such that you can broadcast your career roadmap with a compelling visualization and communicate your career milestones and achievements outside of the service.
