WEB 2.0 AND RECRUITING

Just posting a job opening on a social networking site may not be enough to attract the candidates you seek.

According to Averbook and others, the key is building up a large circle of co-workers, former co-workers, friends, industry associates, customers and “people you run into on airplanes” so when you do have a job opening, you can tap into a group that already knows you and your company, Averbook says.

You have to consistently develop your network. Developing your network means that you are adding new friends, making connections with old friends, and getting the word out about your recruiting needs. There is no easy way to get the job done, but with a little effort, you should be able to land some good candidates.
