Twitter has become one of the main platforms used by potential employees. They create online accounts that specifically cater to headhunters, posting relevant information that will show their skills and experience.
As a headhunter, you have to be watchful over these accounts since you can find some of the most talented and hardworking individuals that will serve as assets in your company.
Other elements and features on Twitter can also guide you to the right candidates, such as hashtags and tags. Some individuals may not primarily set up their Twitter profile to find a job, but you can later on discover their potential and given them an offer that might turn out to be an opportunity for both parties.
The Basic Twitter Techniques
1. Direct recruitment
Headhunters will primarily
find some of the most qualified candidates by recruiting on Twitter. Post that you are looking for applicants for a certain position in a department in your company.
Including a link to your website or add a photo will attract more interactions and bring in more potential employees with real skills and talent. Adding a link or photo will make the post look more legitimate and appealing. Indicate how the applicants should get in touch. Provide some guidelines and instructions and see which ones can best follow these.
2. Find other recruiters
Headhunters can also collaborate with other seekers so you can share and refer qualified individuals depending on the industry and specific objectives and needs of the company.
You can
meet some top headhunters on Twitter. Build connections with these experts and maintain communication. Also do them a favor and forward some excellent applicants who will be more compatible with what they?re looking for. Many of these recruiters will create hashtags where others can share information, as with
#jobhunters.
