Comment on: Topic 'Anyone Else Tired of Social Media?': y business, I cannot deny that, but would I use it as a recruitment tool? Right now, no. Why? Because there is too much doubt and risk attached to it. Say I wanted to recruit someone, let's say a mid level administrative person for my offices in London. I know that if I put an ad out on social networks I would get bombarded with response from far and wide, most of it irrelevant and poor quality. I would probably even win a Nigerian lottery I never even bought a ticket for. And, because of the mammoth response i would end up being unable to reply in person to each and every applicant and would thus get a black mark against my name as a potential employer. Were I to go certain routes via social networks I may even get accused of spamming and being an unwelcome and unsolicited intrusion. Too many people have been convinced (wrongly in my opinion) that social media is some kind of recruitment holy grail. That it makes the press and job boards superfluous. That there is no need to pick up a phone, just put your job out there and woo hoo! here come the candidates from that global pool. All perfect, all relevant and in manageable numbers. Heaven on earth in fact. And don't forget, because it can be done for free in some instances, there;s no ROI to worry about! If only! Fact is I have worked with some of the best recruiters over the years. Some are still clients of mine some 15 years since we first did business together. Why? Business relationships, regular communication. No false promises. The best recruiters see their candidates not as one off transactions but as people they can maybe help throughout their career. They keep in regular contact. They get referred. They build up a network of contacts. In some instances those candidates eventually become clients. That's the old (and seemingly not good enough) school way which seems to have been superseded by the modern way which is a wham bam thank you ma'am one of transaction with very little proper communication or follow up. No wonder so many candidates are disillusioned and employers swamped with response they don't want or need. In short, the whole social recruiting band wagon is moving at a pace, but the trouble is those reinvented wheels aren't yet solid or tried and tested enough to sustain. Candidates want communication, opportunity and hope. Employers want relevant, geographically convenient staff. Social recruiting is at it stands no guarantee of either. That's all folks!…; Added by Alasdair Murray at 9:18am on September 8, 2010
