Not leveraging social media for branding and recruiting talent will:

  • Keep large pools of available talent untouched by and unaware of your organization.
  • Place potential candidate inquiries with departments that manage social media channels rather than with HR professionals who have accurate employer brand and recruiting knowledge.
  • Reduce your ability to measure key audience engagement and talent acquisition analytics.

Creating an online presence for your organization will:

  • Allow you to influence your employer brand and reduce inaccurate perceptions.
  • Allow you to engage passive candidates using powerful and readily available tools.
  • Track actionable talent acquisition and employer brand analytics.
