Hey it's been a while since I've write my blog....Been busy working + Shopping + Meeting up friends + Mahjonging (opps bad habit kicks in..)
Anyway...was just browsing through the web and reading my Google Reader....not been in touch with Web 2.0 recently, so gotta catch up with what's happening around though..haha!...ok back to where we stopped, I was saying, was just browsing through the web and reading my Google Reader and I was quite impressed that people actually really used and been tested effective...to use Social Media tool to do Online Recruitment! Hey..and the success rate is as high as or even better than friend's referral value....which is more promising than recruitment firm!
Trust me...it's really an eye-opener and what's even better is that people around the world tried using different type of social media tools to do that...not just from the usual company websites or search executive database but even blogs, youtube, Twitter Facebook & even Wiki....
Facebook - From my Facebook, I typed in "Recruitment" in my search box under Groups and more than 3 pages full of results are found easily... so..I just got 2 which I think is quite interesting....
1. Recruitment in Hospitality Industry...a lot of their job posting is based in UAE...
2. Recruitment in Media Industry...all kind of media related job posting here...check out if you don't want to miss a chance in this industry!
Twitter - if you still don't know what is Twitter...then you are missing out all the fun and not Web + Tech Savvy enough! Now even a renown shoe company Zappos is heavily using it for recruitment....
Wiki - At first everyone only knows WikiPedia...now...even corporate use Wiki for internal communication...just go to http://www.wetpaint.com and type in "recruitment" in the search engine and Wala! Lots of recruitment wikis pops up! Enjoy....
Although Singapore is a small country with all the high-tech infrastructure and promising talents but we are still very slow and conservative when trying to apply a new edge media or technology into our very own society
....what a controversial I must say....
So, I am thinking..let's say... I am a company trying to use Social Media or what we called Web 2.0 to do an Online Recruitment and you are at the same time looking for a job which I have to offer...which method do you think you will like best/choose or will first let you take note of this opportunity???
1. Company Website
2. Company Blog
2. Twitter
3. Wiki
4. Youtube
5. Facebook
Leave me a comment...I really will like to know what's your opinion on it especially in Singapore haha....
