Arianna Huffington Looks for Job Solution as Election Nears

HuffPo Opportunity Arianna Huffington Looks for Job Solution as Election Nears

From The Huffington Post

Arianna Huffington and The Huffington Post launched a new jobs related content section today called Opportunity: What is Working.

Just months ahead of a Presidential Election that will surely focus on the economy, jobs, and unemployment as main talking points, Huffington’s effort is described as a fundamentally bipartisan issue: ”what we the people can do to accelerate job creation and fill job openings.”

It’s no surprise that jobs reports and potential presidential election results go hand in hand, and we expect new initiatives and louder rhetoric to emerge over the next 3-4 months as voters’ views start to solidify.

The online recruitment and social recruiting markets are heating up at exactly the same time, and we’ll make sure to keep you updated on the latest emerging trends and initiatives that can help job seekers find new opportunities, and employers find new talent.

Keep the conversation going with us on Twitter @TweetMyJobs.

Bringing Your Career Site and Company Culture To Facebook

by Coleman on June 11, 2012

Businesses tend to exert a large amount of effort growing their Facebook communities. After all, Facebook is one of the best platforms to engage with customers, colleagues and individuals that are genuinely interested in what your business is up to. So wouldn’t you want your job openings in front of the people that are most passionate about your organization?

Let candidates know what it's like to work at your company

Luckily, having a professional careers page on Facebook is now a possibility for businesses of all sizes. With our new Facebook Careers App, you can now use your company’s Facebook page to post jobs, engage your fans and showcase why it’s a great place to work – all in front of the candidates that interact with your brand the most.

Clearly, one of the best ways to attract enthusiastic applicants to your company is to show what it’s like to work there. Companies like Hubspot, Rackspace, and GEICO are using the power of video to convey the authentic employee experience. Jennifer King, an HR Analyst at Software Advice, agrees: “The best recruiting videos authentically portray what a prospective employee’s life would be like at the company. Companies shouldn’t hesitate to show their true colors in a recruiting video.”

We couldn’t agree more. That’s why we give you the opportunity to post photos and videos giving prospective candidates a sneak peek into your company’s culture – all on Facebook.

Companies such as GEICO, Rue 21 and Sony have already jumped on board – join them by innovating and showcasing your company culture on Facebook!

Mobile Recruiting: Find a Job Using Your Phone

by Yair on May 8, 2012

We live in a social world, but we also live in a mobile world. iPhones. iPads. Instagram. People are interacting with the world around them – through maps, photography, instant communication, and more. So why shouldn’t the job search and discovery process be mobile as well? It should be. And it needs to be more efficient.

app screenshot 21 Mobile Recruiting: Find a Job Using Your Phone

View nearby jobs through the map feature.

That’s why we just released a new TweetMyJobs mobile app - turning your iPhone or iPod Touch into the ultimate job-searching tool.

The application allows job seekers to search by role, industry and location and view jobs nearby on a map or using an augmented reality overlay.

At once, the TweetMyJobs app is powerful for businesses and seekers alike. For businesses, it enables job distribution and branding in the palm of a job seeker’s hand. Walking down the street or in a crowded mall? No problem – there are jobs around you. For job seekers, the ability to find work in their immediate area and apply via a mobile device is a no-brainer. Seekers can also receive job alerts, where they want them, when they want them. And, of course, the app is free.

For businesses, large and small, the ability to generate “foot traffic,” and local candidates – whether you’re looking to hire a barista or cashier, accountant or nurse, business analyst or CFO – is a superb advantage over competitors that aren’t distributing their jobs and their brand into the mobile world.

Potential employees and employers can now use their mobile devices to find the right job match. Don’t be left behind.

Big Data and Recruiting: HR’s Newest Trend

by Yair on April 18, 2012

You’ve seen it on Twitter with the hashtag #BigData. You stumbled across it in The Wall Street Journal, complementing your morning grapefruit and cup of coffee. And it’s certainly going to be a topic for discussion at one of your next company staff meetings.

The amount of data in the world has been exploding – so much so that 90% of the data in the world today has been created in the last two yearsalone. The trend has been widely covered over the last few years as the next frontier for innovation in technology, but only recently have those in the recruiting and talent acquisition fields taken a closer look and realized the massive opportunity for HR business decisions as well. Here’s a quick overview of what our community has been discussing and how it may soon affect your business:

HR Is Leveraging Big Data For Recruiting

  • According to Josh Bersin, companies like UPS and Lowe’s are well along in the development of Big Data strategies to understand their own employees. But unlike Marketing and Sales organizations, HR teams are not filled with statisticians, analysts, and data visualization experts yet, and Bersin’s research shows that only 6% of Human Resources teams feel they are “highly skilled” at data analysis. We’re just getting started…
  • At Luxottica Group, the Milan-based eyeglasses conglomerate, data analytics have disproven assumptions about gaps within the company’s recruiting strategy. The data showed it took an average 96 days to fill a position with an external candidate. The management team believed that the company’s recruiters acted too slow, but a statistical analysis found hiring managers dragged their feet about making decisions about who to hire. It now takes the company 46 days to hire external candidates, according to a recent Wall Street Journal article. Data alone is not enough. Interpretation and analysis are the key…
  • Analytics platforms derived from large data sets can vastly improve decision making. Cities like Atlanta, GA and Newark, NJ are tracking the number of citizens pursuing job opportunities, the type of positions being sought, the level of position, and the industries in which job seekers want to work. This data can provide government leaders with hyper-local insights that can help steer key strategic decisions to foster future job growth. Analytics platforms – tracking data continuously over time, can lead to the improvement of services, both private and public…

Access to data, for organizations of all sizes, has always been critical to success for companies in the technology, finance, insurance, and government spaces. And now, HR departments are poised to gain substantially from the use of big data. According to Bersin, “This is the time to apply data science to Human Resources. It isn’t easy, but the payoff is huge.”

Is Social Media The New Way to Find Hidden Jobs? [Guest Post]

by Coleman on April 5, 2012

Joshua Waldman, author of Job Searching with Social Media For Dummies, is recognized as one of the nations top authorities in Social Media Career Advancement. To learn Joshua’s secret strategies for shortening the job search and getting the right job right away, you can watch his exclusive video training.

By Joshua Waldman

Just this week, I received a letter from a blog reader who wanted to know if social media really was the way for her to find her next job, because she is of an “older” generation – her words not mine.

“What are your thoughts regarding Twitter as a tool to finding the next job? I’ve been hesitant to join and start tweeting (as I’m of an older generation and usually keep my private thoughts/feelings/opinions to myself) but I might just be limiting myself..? What do you think? Any and all suggestions, comments, best practices & critiques are welcome.”

Considering that this whole “generational excuse for not using social media” is coming up frequently, I thought I would address her question and help people new to Twitter overcome the resistance they might feel.

sketch icon bird 1490149 o1 Is Social Media The New Way to Find Hidden Jobs? [Guest Post]

Job seekers are turning to social media during the job search.

First of all, let’s put the whole age thing aside. I have Boomer clients who don’t tweet, and I have Millennial clients who tell me that Twitter is for old people. And between the two of those groups, over 100 million people actively use Twitter. The problem is that Twitter is a platform, and new users expect a solution. Using Twitter without a purpose is much like walking into a bookstore, grabbing a book at random, and then complaining that it didn’t help you with your investment strategy. This can get very frustrating very fast.

Having a purpose when using Twitter will help you avoid all of those people talking about what they had for breakfast or what song they are listening to right now. After all, you control who you follow. And if you are choosing to use Twitter to find a job, then the people you choose to follow will most likely be relevant to your industry and your target organizations.

According to a recent survey, over 8 million Americans found a job through a connection made via Twitter.

So to answer my reader’s question, yes, Twitter is a fundamental tool for the modern job seeker. Avoiding it for whatever reason (age, resistance), puts you at a significant disadvantage in the marketplace.

Here’s my challenge to you this week. Spend one week actively using Twitter. There are plenty of books, videos and articles on how to be active on Twitter. If after one week, you hate it, fine. But I’m willing to bet that you will have had a really good time. And who knows, maybe you will have met your next boss!

Editor’s note: To learn more about using Twitter and other social distribution and branding tools in your recruitment efforts, you can visit our enterprise solution page.
