What Are The Top Social Media For Recruiting Tools?









LinkedIn
LinkedIn as a business networking tool for recruiting employees provide employers with additional insights and information about the professional qualification of a talent or job seeker.
It also allow them to post job openings and find potential job seekers that best match the qualifications of the job they want  to fill.
For job seekers, it allows them to follow the news and job postings of their targeted employers.

Facebook
Facebook enables employers to create a presence that reflects their employment brand, find potential candidates, and post jobs. In addition, it enables great opportunities for interaction with candidates and allows organisations to create a community. Facebook was originally geared towards personal communication, but has morphed into a tool that being used more and more for business.

Twitter
Twitter is primarily effective for increasing the company’s exposure and advertising job openings within the company.
Job seekers who follow organisation s on twitter are easily kept abreast of opportunities that are available within the organisation as well as programmes.


To conclude this article, I will leave you (Job seekers) with three recommendations from Chirag Nangia, CEO of Reppify on how to manage your social media for recruiting process:
Keep your professional profiles up-to-date and complete. Recruiters often use these as a way to find new candidates.
Engage in online communities reflecting topics you’re passionate about. For example, if you are an engineer, get involved on open-source projects on GitHub, or answer relevant questions on Quora.
Connect with your professional connections on LinkedIn. Often these connections could help you find your next job.
