Twitter is the telegraph system of Web 2.0” says Nicholas Carr, Author and Technologist .New York Times has mentioned that it is one of the fastest-growing phenomenon on the Internet. People use twitter search every day to keep up with other people and important news. Twitter is revolutionizing the world, and twitter search allows users to find information fast ..

Keywords for connection

Use keywords in the Twitter profile to market the value identity. Mention the industry categories using keywords and then link back to the corporate blog or Career site for communicating the benefits of your company.

Follow the network

Establish a network in Twitter by connecting with passive job seekers. Make use of prominent twitter directories to follow the job seekers from the target industry. Listed are some of twitter directories:

WeFollow. WeFollow site groups together Twitter users and messages using hash tags--words that can be added to Twitter messages and begin with an "#". Twitter users can update their stream with a tweet containing up to three hashtags they want to be included in and WeFollow adds their messages into the proper categories.

Just Tweet It. Just Tweet it is similar to WeFollow ,it asks users to add themselves to the directory listing that's relevant to them. Whether it's writing, movies, or genealogy, the site covers every conceivable topic and it's very easy to use.

MediaOnTwitter. MediaOnTwitter is a fine resource for those who want to find out which journalists, bloggers, and media outlets are on Twitter, it has the most comprehensive list of colleagues. It’s easy to use because of the capability to search by location or name.

Social Brand Index. Social Brand Index is a listing of Twitter accounts held by public-facing companies. While the site doesn't have every company listed in its directory, its strength is categorization. For example, its business section includes companies that are listed under commodity trading and direct selling.

Tracking Twitter. Tracking Twitter wants to be the definitive source for "brands, media, television, celebrities, and electric artists." Anything outside of that and you'll need to use another directory service to find folks. It doesn't allow visitors to create sections, and it doesn't even allow you to add yourself.

Tweeter Tags. Similar to WeFollow, you can find others on Twitter by using TweeterTags' keywords. But unlike WeFollow, you don't input tags. Instead, the service searches through Twitter to find commonly tweeted tags and allows you to click on them from a cloud. Whenever you click a tag, you're given a listing of people who have mentioned it in recent tweets. It's certainly not an exact science, but I found it useful for things like product names.

Collect the feeds

The next step is to go to: http://search.twitter.com/and set up RSS feeds for keywords for networking with active job seekers.
For example, Set up an RSS feed for the following phrase “ I need a job “ to network with active job seekers.

Communicate the benefits

Post tweets to announce the benefits of the job you offer, such as perks, allowances, etc
