What is recruiting?
I wanted to answer, but I am not allowed, so Bas van de Haterd says “you know my preso already!” He is right.
Social Software are tools, to do what we do already, but now it is clear and visible.
Figures Bas shows are massive:
20mln people in Linkedin
5 mln in Xing
6 mln in Hyves, of which 5 mln from Holland.
Myspace approx 250mln!
Don’t need to talk about the numbers, ROI, to gain from Recruiting in Social Networks.
How to do this:
“Use” your network of “people you trust”.
but think of incentive, like favor, lunch or money?
Recruiting is like dating: don’t ask go for THE (?) question on the first date.
Social network recruitment amongst Alumni, is good for boomerang recruitment.
Learn to walk:
connect in Myspace, Linkedin etc.
create your own NING
launch your own social network
USE IT don’t ABUSE IT
Well done, do’s and don’ts in SN explained clearly!
