Social Recruiting. What Is It?

Last week Riges Younan (2Vouch CEO) posted about the presentation he is preparing for ATC in Auckland on social recruiting and employee referral programs. He asked for help to prepare the presentation, interesting the post has not had any comments but did generate some discussions.

Following these discussions Riges has decided to take things a little further and has set up a site, http://socialrecruiting.com, specifically to help build the presentation. The idea being to use Web 2.0 and social media tools to help create the presentation.

The site is a mix of a blog where Riges can document his thoughts, and readers can comment. But it is also a wiki, this means anyone can register and edit content. There is some initial content on the site but it really needs the community to participate to develop the presentation. Don’t worry if you have never used a blog or a wiki before it is very easy. The good thing about a wiki is history is kept of every change so you cannot break it.

If you are a recruiter, hiring manager, candidate, anyone with an interest in recruiting and or social media go and make a contribution.
