Social Media Jobs – Jan ’11

If you’ve spent more than 10 minutes online recently you’ve only got to type your name into Google and all of a sudden you realise that you have a Digital footprint, what most people don’t realize is that your Digital footprint might tells us more than your CV.

As much as it may be under debate, digital savvy potential employers DO check you out before they hire you so as a job seeker you must make every effort to mange what people can see about you and more importantly we must make an effort to manage what they see – this is now know as Online Personal Branding and it’s a must for any job seeker in the modern age.

So, What can you do to manage what comes up top in Google?

1) Google yourself….

Before we go any further lets see what we’re dealing with. Drunk photos on Facebook with open access, public Dating profiles, posts Grow your own Weed forums – You might have one two or all three of the previous, but the main thing is to find them and do you best to remove/edit it or adjust settings so they’re less findable. You should know that once these details have been recorded by Google they’ll never be gone and they’re stored ‘somewhere’, but we can edit these sources and more importantly we can manage better sources and give you a more attractive and more visible professional personal brand.

2) Join Professional Networking Sites:

Sites such as Linkedin, Plaxo, Viadeo and Xing are leading professional social networks for individuals who want to connect with peers, keep track / start business relationship and learn from others around them. Often the discussion groups are invaluable spaces for finding resources unique to your industry. The result of joining them for your personal brand and Google ranking are invaluable, create and fill out an in depth profile and make sure your name is labeled in full and more often or not this will be very highly ranked if anyone searches for you.

3) PR yourself at any opportunity:

There are websites & blogs across every industry that are constantly looking for new content – this includes writing blogs, written interviews and news reports on activity in the industry. More often than not theses sites will take a story for you and the regular mention of your name on their site will be indexed by Google. From a branding perspective to have been interviewed or be seen as a thought leader in your industry is fantastic news, and any potential employer that see’s you getting your name out there will be proud that you’ll be doing the same as a valued employee of their business.

4) buy ‘yourname.com’ & blog:

Having your own domain enables you to manage a space that depicts ‘you’ exactly as you want to be seen. More importantly it’ll probably be what comes up 1st in Google and draw the attention of anyone checking you out. A blog doesn’t have to be anything more than a profile and a few thoughts here and there, but people are increasing finding it a great way to attract readership and grow a fantastic personal brand.

The above might not be rocket science but how you are seen online can be make or break when looking for a new job, and actually the basics of getting found in the modern day are invaluable.

Originally written as a guest post for The Connected Recruiter

Incorrect hires must cost the economy £millions every year when you combine job advertising, wages and recruitment fees, and with the rise of Social Recruitment I believe we can start to reduce this wasted spend.

As a follow on from a previous post ‘How to get found in Social Media’, I thought it would be a good idea to put down some ideas around Social Recruitment for the brand employing staff (or the recruitment business sourcing them). It might sound obvious but the days of just posting jobs are gone and I believe that if we raise the bar in the recruitment profession we can greatly reduce unnecessary spend, bring the quality of service in the recruitment industry up and therefore reduce the number of cowboy recruiters spraying biz cards and cold calls around your office!

Before you can dive into Social Recruitment, you must understand what the recruitment process is and then do it well… Specification, Sourcing and Hiring are all equally important.

1) First you must know what you’re looking for [Specification]

The biggest frustration for job seekers, recruiters and others involved with hiring is the whole process stalling because the business doesn’t know what they’re looking for. Ironically isn’t this going to be the same reason that you hire the wrong person, pay them too much and pay a fee for someone you later let go or leaves?

There are ways to get this right, spend time actually writing a job spec and person spec, spend time talking to you recruiter about specific requirements and take their advice – a good recruitment consultant spends 50% or more of his time talking to candidates in the industry – they should be able to provide you 2 invaluable services… Consultation & Recruitment…

2) Recruitment is NOT just posting jobs (and it’s not a HR function) [Sourcing]

If we’ve done a good job of step 1), not just anyone is going to be right for your job. Your specification will determine that you need certain skills and a certain person profile to fit well into the culture of you business. So it makes sense that just posting your job on your site or Monster probably isn’t going to find you Mr/Mrs right… HR processes and policies also won’t find you staff – actively giving your job a presence in the market place and talking to people about it will…! Social Recruitment, like Social Media Marketing is about participation and engagement. Lee Smallwood would say you can measure you ROI as Return on Involvement.

I’ll write a follow up post about the channels, methods of using them and how to capitalize of Social Recruiting tools very soon – Today I wanted to explore the mindset of Recruiting more than the method.

3) Talented staff DONT grow on trees [Hiring]

If we’ve done a good job of step 1), and step 2) and you find that right person – grab them while you can! One of the factors we count into wasted money on recruitment is the time its taken to manage the process!

I’ve worked with 2 clients who believed so strongly in their process of specifying requirements, psychologically profiling and detailed interviews that they have made decisions on the spot and offered jobs in 1st interviews or that evening. they know what they wanted, saw it and hired! You should do the same if you’ve got 1) right!

Closing Thoughts…

> Treat recruitment like a marketing campaign – active and accurately planned.
> Take time to understand what you need… get this right now and save time and money later.
> Participate in the space where your audience is, static job ads will fail.
