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.
