Don’t Miss the Mark with Social Media Recruiting Efforts

We’ve discussed in previous blog posts how some recruiters who do contracting are using Social Media to aid their recruiting efforts. A recent Staffing Software Trends blog post by eEmpACT provides some of the most common “Social Media Potholes for Temp Staffing.”

The advice provided in the blog could apply to nearly any business utilizing Social Media but is especially geared toward those using these tools to generate contracting  job orders and lure contract candidates.

Here are the common mistakes that are identified and explained in more detail on the blog post:

1. Not knowing your audience.
2. Being boring.
3. Forgetting to respond to comments you receive on your Social Media pages.
4. Advertising/hard selling rather than providing valuable information.
5. Giving up.
