Are You Measuring?
What are you doing to measure your social recruiting efforts?

Or if you aren’t putting any effort in place to try and account for your efforts while squaking to your peers and colleagues that it doesn’t work – well, you’re equally as full of it.
This article is an entry for CruiterTalk.com‘s Recruiting Carnival and a follow up to last year’s entry where I had the honor of posting The Evolution of Recruiting. It covered topics related to how some companies are unwilling to let their talent seekers dip into social channels to source and recruit. In summary my opinion was, and continues to be, that this is a short-sited response sprinkled with a dash of control issues and thrown into the #Fail bucket in the hopes that recruiters will stop asking about it or that it will simply go away. But guess what? It’s not going away anytime soon and recruiters are going rogue to get it done. The best part? Some recruiters are savvy enough to keep pushing forward and are finding ways to track their efforts in the hopes they’ll be able to come back to leadership/clients and tell a good story. Boys and girls, it’s almost story time.
