Follow on Google News | HRO Today Releases Study on the Use of Social Media in Recruitment StrategyBy: SharedXpertise Social media has grown to become an essential part of organizations' strategies, with 84 percent of survey respondents currently using it for recruitment and 9 percent planning to use it. Of those incorporating social media into their recruitment strategies, 79 percent indicated that the tool plays an important or very important role. "Social media has become a critical avenue for engaging potential candidates of all ages and disciplines," The flash report also assessed the effectiveness of social media as part of recruitment strategy. Of the respondents who indicated that they use social media, just over one-half (57 percent) said that it was either effective or very effective. In addition, respondents were asked to estimate what percentage of their budget was allocated to social media. Nearly two-thirds (65 percent) reported that less than 20 percent of their recruiting budgets was designated for social media, with the average answer reported as 15.9 percent. "Several internal factors, such as staff expertise and budget, can impact the effectiveness of an organization's social media recruitment efforts, but external factors also come into play," said Larry Basinait, Vice President of Market Research at SharedXpertise. "Historically low unemployment rates have created a high demand for workers, which is all the more reason for organizations to embrace social media with a detailed strategy and measurable goals." The flash report explored additional questions related to social media in recruitment, including goals, managing the employer brand online, which social media sites are most commonly used, and the arguments against using social media for recruiting.
