Outrank.com: Using Social Media as a Hiring Tool

outrank.com jobsIn times of economic downturn, you would think that the flood of talented potential employees would make finding the right person very simple. It can be, for sure, but you should still make sure you are tapping in to every available recruiting resource, much like we do at Outrank.com.

Although Facebook has been around for some time, many people are still unfamiliar with the social media hub’s immense recruiting potential. Many people, especially those in the younger generation, constantly use social media sites and are fully aware that recruiters do as well. Creating an active social media presence for your company, and more importantly, your recruiting department, can help attract this important demographic while promoting your company at the same time.

It is important to have social networking as a part of your recruiting strategy. Keep your Facebook page up-to-date and you’ll be able to connect with candidates seeking a company just like yours.

“Work For Us” Turns Facebook Fan Pages into a Recruiting Tool – Outrank.com Reviews

At Outrank.com, we’re always interested in new developments in online recruiting.  Work For Us is a new application for Facebook Business Pages that allows potential candidates to apply for open positions directly from your company’s Facebook fan page. An applicant simply clicks the “Work for Us” link and is directed to an online application, which is then sent to your company. Interested candidates can also “like” your job post, thereby spreading the word to their friends.outrank.com

Work for Us is the brainchild of Work4Labs, a start up funded by French investors Stephane Le Viet and Gautier Machelon. 2,000 businesses worldwide have already hopped on-board.

The cost is relatively low and varies depending on the type and amount of service you want. The service is free for the first 30 days and ranges in price from $9 to $500 (unlimited job postings) per month after that. For those businesses that can really see a benefit from hitting their Facebook demographic where they reside, this may certainly be something to consider.
