Top 10 Twitter chats for HR, Recruiters & Job seekers!
Being a Social media advisor at my local SHRM chapter, my goal is to make more people get on to social media and help them benefit from the amazing opportunity to connect with, engage, network & learn from others.
Last month I facilitated a presentation on “How to use social Media to land a job” to an HR & Recruiting group and I understood majority of them don’t even know of various twitter chats and have not yet participated in any of them! When you have a great platform to share your thoughts on various trends happening at your industry, showcase your expertise and connect with like minded people why wouldn’t you use that opportunity? And I wrote this long time back on why I encourage you to join these online communities! (more…)
Barriers for International Recruitment!
Being from an Indian family where 80 percent of men are working in the middle east and some others in US, I pretty much know how their international job search process was.

Apply via LinkedIn or Company’s Website?
Reader’s question of the week:
I wanted to ask your opinion about whether you thought it was better to apply for a position via the company’s direct website or through the alternate job board (such as LinkedIn) where it may also be simultaneously posted. It may not make a difference, and of course some of the job boards will feed you directly to the ATS of the employer. I didn’t know though which route might give you better chance of exposure if you had more than one option.

How can HR stay current using Social Media
One thing I always like about HR profession is that the field is constantly changing and deliciously challenging! And if you want to succeed in this competitive arena you got to be continuously learning the latest trends happening in your industry.
But I have always noticed when it comes to 9-5 work life it is always hard for majority of us to set some time aside for reading and staying current. And you are probably wondering how on earth your competitors snatch great talent through social recruiting before you find them, or how your competitors reduce their cost per hire and even engage their employees using social media or other techniques.
Well, if you still don’t get what I talking about, I assume you must be living under a rock or probably you are doing your job the old school way! (more…)
