Professional Legal Recruiters in Texas

Social Media

Online social networks are rapidly advancing in popularity in the United States and around the world. For employers, they are great way to find and research prospective candidates. Since people have a lot of information available online about their life and personal preferences, the sites are a good way for a recruiter to determine if the applicant is a good candidate for the position.

Oftentimes a resume is very limited in information. These social networks are able to offer a much more complete picture of the potential hire. Since companies aim to hire new employees who will mesh well with the current employees, these sites are very useful.

LinkedIn, one of the only “professional” networking sites, is widely used by recruiters. In a recent study, 75% of recruiters listed LinkedIn as their favorite network. However, employers do not stop at only professional sites. They are increasingly using social sites to gather information as well. Approximately 48% of hiring managers turn to Facebook and another 26% turn to Twitter before making a job offer.

These networking sites are most frequently used by those who are technologically savvy. Those often tend to be the most talented workers. Studies have found those who earn six figures or more likely to use technology as a means of networking.
