Graph Search is still in the beta phase, but once it’s fully up and running, it will allow recruiters and job seekers to search for a range of relevant terms. A Forbes post by guest contributor Stephane Le Viet, CEO of Work4Labs, which already helps recruiters use Facebook for online recruiting, predicts Graph Search will transform the way recruiters use Facebook and vault the site into competition with LinkedIn. By contrast, only 13% said they made hires from their Twitter prospects.īullhorn CEO Art Papas predicts that all of this could change radically over the next 18 months as a result of Facebook’s announcement January 18 that it is introducing a powerful new tool, Graph Search. But in 2012, more recruiters, 17%, said they made hires using Facebook in 2012. One interesting, counterintuitive result: More recruiters, 38.3%, said they planned to use Twitter in 2013 than they have in the past, while a bit less, 37.4%, said they planned to up their use of Facebook. Slightly fewer recruiters used those sites last year-51.3% and 45.8% respectively- than used them in 2011, when 60.2% tapped Facebook and 51.5% used Twitter. If you post a comment on your LinkedIn account stating that you are hiring, many of your network will see this and like or comment.The survey includes some interesting findings about Facebook and Twitter. Bonus Tip (2) - Targeting people who like or comment on your posts If you are using a basic LinkedIn account here instead of Recruiter Lite, the candidates would see that you have visited their profile, they would see in the title of your profile that you are hiring and may apply for the role. This means that instead of using Dux-Soup to send connection requests, you could just visit the profiles. Bonus Tip (1) - Changing the profile in your titleĪnother way to find the right candidates is to change the title in your LinkedIn profile to ‘we are now hiring’. Not only that, but you will now be 1st-degree connections which will give you access to all of their second degree connections, broadening your network for future hires. If they accept, it means they are happy to talk to you and then you can send them a follow up message to introduce the potential role in more detail. Instead of sending an InMail message, a connection request will give the candidate the option to accept or ignore it. However, one of the issues with Recruiter Lite is that you cannot send connection requests, only InMails.Īll you need to do is upload your Excel file with your tidy data where it says ‘click here’, and you can now connect with all of your target candidates (the file has to be in a csv format to work correctly, with the columns named LinkedIn Profile, First Name, Last Name).Īs a recruiter, you need to have as personal an approach as possible with potential candidates, to ensure that you build up the right relationship with them right from the start. Through having a LinkedIn Recruiter Lite account, you have the ability to see much more detailed information about candidates such as previous jobs and universities as well as the ability to look at people’s profiles without the candidate knowing.
