Rich Peterson stated, Using, “non-traditional recruiting media,” is also a chance for you to convey something about your corporate culture and job opportunities to jobseekers.

1.) Signatures: Ask all of your employees, companywide, to put a footer in their e-mails reminding people that their, “company is hiring.” A signature can say "Note: we're hiring Star Developers, Energized Sales Managers and Effective Digital Strategists.

2.)Status Lines: Another great tool is to have employees use their status lines on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace, and other social networks to let friends know their company is hiring. A great status update might be something like: "I love my job: come work with me" with a link to your careers site or podcast.

3.) Retargeter.com: which helps you deliver candidates to your site. Candidates who have been to your site for any reason at all, can be recaptured and brought back to a career site, podcast, you name it. It has huge reach because it works with Yahoo's Right Media, Google's DoubleClick, and Fox Interactive. ReTargeter is the simplest and most effective self-serve display retargeting platform.

4.) “Speed Interviewing like Speed Dating.” Another layer between resume-submission and the one-on-one interview.

One option is inviting all eligible applicants to an open group event, such as an Open House. “'Speed Dating' Interviews” send an email to each applicant, thanking the candidates for their interest and asking them to attend an open house.

Only ½ or less will show up. It’s easy to apply online. That's self-selection," reduces the screening process."

Over a few hours, everyone participates. In one section designated as an area where employees could mingle with the candidates. The second section became a so-called speed-dating area, where the prospects have one-on-one contact with the employees/recruiters for a few minutes.

All candidates get a time slot. In five minutes, ask a few questions and see if they were right for the role. It is different but so efficient because you could remove people who aren't, “wildly enthusiastic."

Then call backs for group interviews and then individual interviews.

The Open House strategy also enables you to see how people interact in groups. Interacting with potential candidates in a group setting is an excellent way to see their character, level of interest, team building skills, working knowledge, and communication skills. It also lets you see if they're a good fit with your corporate culture. Interactive interviews (Open Houses) can be conducted in different ways, but the fundamental feature is inviting select candidates in for a group session, where you and current employees can engage with them.

7.) Live Chats: Host an online “job fair.” This way, you can post open positions on your website, and then be available for a live chat (using an online forum or social media tool, like Twitter) so prospective employees can ask questions, get more information, etc. Also, using a tool like Twitter, you don’t necessarily need to make your “job fair” live, since candidates are able to “tweet” at any time and you can respond accordingly.

8.) LinkedIn:

LinkedIn is huge and underused for Recruiting.

As many LinkedIn recruiting guides point out, you can export data from your connections to create a mailing list. Alternatively, you can download third party software like LinkedIn Contacts Management which will handle this for you.

 The ability to search for second- and third-degree connections is what makes LinkedIn such a great tool.

 Use it sparingly. Could easily be viewed as spam.

 Create a profile for your company and encourage all of your employees to create LinkedIn profiles that link to it. Encouraging your employees to put effort in to creating strong profiles will pay off in at least two ways; you will look more attractive to prospective employees, and your current employees will become another source for leads.

 Still need old-fashioned telephone conversations. LinkedIn provides you with is a massive amount of information about who to call and whom to ask about, making the process much more efficient. Maximize this advantage by building your network every day.

9.)  LinkedIn: : that possible candidates might be searching for online. For instance, a company, Rapleaf, is always looking for people who are interested in Hadoop, an open-source software framework that supports applications running across multiple, distributed computers. So they purchase ads that will appear when people search for keywords associated with Hadoop. The approach has helped find qualified candidates.

10.) Job Fairs Useless: You’ll get the unemployed. Search forums such as MeetUp (Find Online) for group events that are likely to be attended by people qualified for your open position. For example, if you needed a graphic designer in New York City, you could attend a graphic design-focused meetup in the area and look for potential candidates. Create a MEETUP and invite folks in the industry. MeetUps are very hot now.

11.) JobsinPods: Jobcasting is the process of combining jobs with audio podcasts. By ‘podcasting your jobs’ you’ll bring your jobs to life and humanize the face of your company. It’s employment branding at its finest. Recording podcasts describing the position and your company ("job casting," as exemplified on Jobs in Pods), this strategy will differentiate you from all the other employers out there -- and hopefully make you more appealing to the cream of the crop hires.

12.) Social Media Profiles: Video game company Red 5 Studios, who handpicked 100 ideal candidates and got to "know" them by researching their social media profiles and past work. The startup then sent each one a CD with a welcome from CEO.

13.) Online Meet Ups: Create an, “Online Meet Up,” and invite folks in industry. Online tool that is very hot now. Kind of a Facebook in a Restaurant or Lounge.
