Beginning Twitter for Recruiters Webinar

Twitter.com is clearly one of the breakout tools of the Web 2.0 era, but you’ve heard mixed reviews of how useful it is to recruiters, so you haven’t really delved into it.  That’s because you weren’t introduced to Twitter the *right* way.  Let JobMachine recruitment sourcing Adjunct Faculty member, Mark Berger, guide you past the time-wasting aspects and take you from 0 to 60.  He’ll focus on where Twitter adds value from the candidate sourcing, employer branding and new business perspectives.

Example of what we'll cover:

Did you know you can easily source prospects from Twitter by searching here? This micro-blogging service is rapidly growing in popularity, especially among 25-35 year old mobile phone users which represent a big segment of the candidates you need. Twitter allows people to communicate with their network "on the road" or away from their computers. Millions of people post anything from updates on events to breaking news, gossip, tips, and even "insider info." These short tweets (maximum 140-character messages) are public and thus searchable!

In fact, you can go beyond simple keyword/phrase searches to find relevant people by location. For example, find someone who tweets the word SQL and lives within 25 miles of Boston by searching like this:

sql near:Boston within:25mi

sql near:Amsterdam within:50km

Key Takeaways:

• An overview of the Twitter network and explain why almost every recruiter should be using this valuable recruiting resource



• Focus on tips and techniques to locate those hard-to-find candidates for your next recruiting assignment.



• Explanation of advanced searches, network searches, keyword and title searches, location searches, industry searches, company searches, group searches, search results, using the SITE search technique and its advantages



• Explanation of recommendations, groups, and interests
  
  
• An in depth review of Twitter resources we recommend 
  
  
• Tips on how to contact your search results, how to complete and maximize your own profile and grow your network
