HOW WE COMMUNICATE

Not only are we using different tools to communicate, the way we communicate is changing. Brevity, casual language and visual aids are valued over wordy, formal communications.

And, studies show that “Linksters” think very differently about privacy, freedom of speech and information transparency.

DON’T BE SCURRED

Harvard Business Review

Any organization can get lucky and have a single successful implementation of social media. Social leaders, on the other hand, build collaborative capability through a learning process that starts with understanding their current attitude and taking the steps required to building confidence and trust. This turns a single social media success into a sustained source of competitive advantage..

TWITTER FOR BRANDING

Post jobs, feature hot jobs, video previews, just don’t spam your followers with constant job tweets. Ask for the Retweet

Your fans want to hear from you – they will consume anything new, original, interesting or funny

Think beyond your website to keep candidates and clients informed about your successes, your process, your team

Target potential candidates and clients through Twitter’s relatively new advertising platform.

TWITTER FOR CONNECTING

Twitter is a great place to post a few jobs, but ensure that existing employees retweet them for maximum effectiveness

Use the status updates to engage your network. Join the conversation by @ replying and retweeting. Organize using lists and favorites

Custom design a Twitter background aligns to your employer brand, and that gives your followers additional information about your company. Your Twitter page should drive candidates to your careers site

Follow back, retweet and use @ replies to engage and grow followers. Use first names. Don’t forget to thank, congratulate, share and have a good time

TWITTER FOR SOURCING

Post jobs and engage your followers. Think of Twitter as the place to post your “Hot Jobs”

Twitter is one of the best places to keep up with industry trends and learn from experts. Direct your followers to internal and external content

Twitter users often do not overlap with LinkedIn users. Twitter profiles – even inactive ones – are a great source of passive candidates

Grow your network through targeted Twitter advertising,
