Google Plus is a hidden treasure trove for recruiters and yet it is still largely undiscovered by many recruiters.
Many people write it off with the belief that no one actually uses Google Plus. Well that’s not quite true.
Google Plus is integrated into Google search results so if a candidate is on this platform – or any other Google platform – then chances are you can find them on Google Plus too.
Why Use Google Plus?
Besides being another place to share your jobs, there are three key reasons to use Google Plus.
Sourcing Candidates
There are two ways of searching for candidates on Google Plus – within Google Plus and a standard Google search.
Once you have created your Google Plus account searching for candidates is easy. Go to plus.google.com and sign in. Once signed in you will see a search box at the top of the page. Select the option for ‘People and Pages’ and then try a keyword search e.g. project manager and London.
If you are searching via a regular Google search you can also find candidates Google Plus profiles. Begin your search with site: plus.google.com e.g. site: plus.google.com project manager lives in London.
Building Talent Pools
One of Google Plus’s most popular features are Circles. These Circles allow you to create your own private groups and add candidates to them as you wish. Circles can be shared with colleagues if they are looking for the same types of candidates.
Google Plus users often create their own industry specific public circles. A recruiter can look at these and expand their talent network instantly
Google Plus SEO Benefits
Search engine optimisation is more important than ever. Most candidates will now search on Google for a job role rather than ring a recruiter. As a Google product it is no surprise Google Plus is great for search engine optimisation. It’s not too difficult to take advantage of this fact either.
