The Role of Social Media in Hiring

Your HR Buddy is honored to have the amazing voices in the HR space joining us to share their insights. And this time we have Greg Moran  founder and CEO of Chequed.com talks about decline of the Paper Resume and Rise of the Social Media Interview!

Let’s face it- if the paper resume isn’t already dead, it’s well on its way out the door.

With the ever-amounting popularity of social media and its critical role as a primary communication vehicle for today’s masses, it’s no surprise that Facebook, Twitter and other social platforms have become a professional pillar in talent selection as well.

My talk about the disconnect between Online and Offline Persona!

My talk about the disconnect between Online and Offline Persona!

Oh yes, I have experienced that awkward moment! Have you ever experienced the same anytime?

You guys must have noticed that I was gone for the past month. So why did I take this break? I know that must be the first question from you all! That was a long silence from my end. And usually when bloggers take a break, they publish a blog post titled ‘Gone on Vacation’ to let their audience know of their absence. Anyhow, I didn’t write that blog post! Hmmm. That wasn’t quite like HR!

But now I understand, that it was a very much needed! Especially when you have audience who cares to send emails and messages to check with you to see if you are ok.

Thanks to all for your emails and messages enquiring if I am doing alright, why I was not writing all these days, checking to see if everything was alright with my family (more…)

Human Resources professionals have, at once, the unique opportunity to and significant responsibility for effectively communicating and preserving an organization’s corporate culture. Our roles demand that we are consistently in tune with the needs of the workforce as well as the requirements for the jobs in our respective companies.  We have to study the behaviors of job applicants diligently and answer the questions: Where do they get their information? How do they communicate with others? Have changes in society or academia impacted the way they approach work? And, of course, stay on top of the daily transactional activities that flood our desks, voicemails, and inboxes. (more…)
