Get in the game – using social media for recruiting.

If ever you needed proof that you’ve got to get in the game, then look no further than this excellent infographic from Mashable

How Businesses Use Social Media for Recruiting

I would strongly recommend a read. The data comes from a survey conducted by CareerEnlightenment.com

33% OF THOSE COMPANIES SURVEYED REJECTED A CANDIDATE BASED ON SOMETHING THEY FOUND THEY DISLIKED ABOUT THEM ONLINE.

This infographic comes hot on the heels of my post yesterday (timing is everything) Who Are You? So, have you checked your online profile yet? What do you think about what you see, read, hear? Would you hire you?

92% OF MANAGERS USED OR PLANNED TO USE SOCIAL MEDIA TO RECRUIT IN 2010.

And last but by no means least in todays’ links comes this report from Proskauer on Social Media in the workplace.

44% OF COMPANIES TRACK EMPLOYEE’S SOCIAL MEDIA USE IN AND OUT OF THE OFFICE.

These numbers will increase. So, what does your online brand say about you?
