More Employers Using Social Media to Hunt for Talent

Jul. 13 2011 - 5:14 pm

89% of those surveyed said they plan to use social media to recruit
employees.

Nearly 90% of companies are planning to use social networks to find job
candidates, according to a new survey
<http://web.jobvite.com/rs/jobvite/images/Jobvite-SRP-2011.pdf> , up from
83% a year ago. For job seekers, this highlights the importance of having an
active profile on sites like LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter, and underlines
the fact that what you say and do on those sites can impact your career. Two
thirds of employers said they had successfully filled a job using social
networking.

The survey was conducted by an interested party, Jobvite
<http://recruiting.jobvite.com/index_b.php> , a five-year-old Burlingame,
Calif. company that helps companies find job candidates using social
networks. Jobvite has run the poll for the last four years, and seen a
steady increase by employers in the use of social media. This year Jobvite
queried 800 human resource staffers and headhunters in the U.S. Eighty-nine
percent said they were using or planned to use social media, compared to 83%
last year.

"Negotiating the Job Offer to Win"

Speaker: Alex Freund, Landing Expert-Career Coaching Services

TOPIC

Learn a step-by-step, systematic approach to evaluate and negotiate a job offer. You will learn to prioritize what is important for you from several angles and thoroughly examine the details of the job offer.

* Do you know how to do your due diligence for this significant decision?
* Are you ready to negotiate for the best deal? In order to remove the insecurities associated with salary negotiation we will do a mock-negotiation.

You can excel at presenting yourself in writing, engaging people at networking events, securing referrals from contacts, and navigating around the various gatekeepers, but if you dont' know how to turn interviews into offers, all will come to naught.

Join CNG as Alex Freund shares simple techniques to negotiate the job offer to win!

SPEAKER

ALEX FREUND: Alex Freund had a long career working for major Fortune 500 companies in the capacity of Corporate Director.

Alex has managed some 35 different departments also known as Facilities Administration or Support Services.

He is prominent in a number of networking groups and has helped many job seekers with their career searches, providing them with tools, information, marketing material, and one-on-one preparation for the interview.
