Everett Reiss shares one social media power move you can make on Twitter to bolster your recruiting efforts.

For more effective, easy, and free tips from Everett register for NJSA’s How to Use Social Media to Bolster Your Recruiting Efforts on Tuesday, March 23rd, 8:00-10:00am at the Sheraton Edison Hotel.

In this 5-minute video, Everett shares how staffing professionals can use Twitter’s Advanced Search tool to find potentially qualified candidates with a very specific skillset.  In this case, Everett uses this tool to search for java programmers.

One important thing to note is that you need to consider your audience.  The type of people are you searching for determines what social media tools, if any, you should be investing your time and money in.  In this case, we’re searching for IT professionals so there is a good chance that we’ll find candidates.  If you are in the light industrial side of the staffing industry searching for forklift operators, you probably shouldn’t be using Twitter’s Advanced Search tool to find candidates.

 You can take the specific tactic that I showcase in the “One Way to Bolster Your Recruiting Efforts” video one-step farther by converting the Twitter search query into an RSS feed, so that you can get continuous updates as people post tweets that match your search criteria.  This is one thing I’ll be going into more depth in and another reason why you should register for NJSA’s How to Bolster Your Recruiting Efforts on Tuesday, March 23rd, 8:00-10:00am at the Sheraton Edison Hotel.

I hope to see you there!  Also, please comment on this blog or email me at ev@astusa.com to let me know what types of positions you’re recruiting for so I can tailor my NJSA seminar (which will be recorded) around your actual recruiting needs.
