We all know that social media is fast overtaking traditional methods of getting connected and informing masses of people.
A few years ago I was telling my clients and audiences that posting job openings on Facebook would be the next big thing and guess what?
It has happened. Check out this innovative page on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=140213070625&ref=mf
The name of the group is Job Concierge the don’t have a web page BUT they do have a twitter page that guides you to their facebook page. This is not your traditional way of posting jobs.
I have a friend who recently left corporate and just started her own business as a high end executive assistant. At first she thought she needed a website- but she is such a great networker that by face to face meetings she has more clients now than she knows what to do with. She still hasn’t decided whether she will do a website or not- I suggest she simply do a Twitter page and a Facebook group just like Job Concierge.
I have researched a fair bit on attracting talent and to attract Gen Y the method is definitely through social media. Companies need to tell a story about themselves and then engage Gen Y in conversations through their forums.
So anyone looking for a job? Get a Twitter account and be active on Facebook.
