InfoTrust, LLC and Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber of Commerce are partnering to offer a class on Social Recruitment, helping HR Professionals and Recruiters leverage social media to find and attract top level candidates. The program will take place on April 18, 2010.

Social Recruitment is one of the growing ways for an organization to network with potential employees, and promote their job openings at a lower or no charge. Today, 80% of companies are planning to use social networks to find or attract candidates; LinkedIn use grew to 95% in 2008; Facebook use grew from 36% in 2008 to 59% in 2009.

If you use social networks for recruiting, there are additional steps you can take to make sure you utilize these tools effectively.

Attendees of this session will learn:

  • How social media channels such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and YouTUBE can greatly improve your recruitment ROI by decreasing the cost per hire and improving quality of hire.
  • How to use social media profiles to screen your candidates.
  • How to create an engagement plan, ways to monitor your success and set-up ongoing practices to build on your results.
