Registration for this event closed at 12 noon on February 20th CHRP Recertification Points: 1
Over the years recruitment methods have continuously evolved to take advantage of new technological innovations. We've come a long way since recruiters put an ad in the paper and waited a week or two for hand-written applications to come in via Canada Post. One of the most recent, and significant, technological innovations to impact the recruitment function has been the creation of social media networks, such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and Google+. These social networks can be of great assistance to those responsible for recruitment, but there are some notable challenges and risks that should be understood before social media becomes a part of any company's recruitment strategy. Learning Objectives This interactive luncheon is geared towards corporate recruiters and HR Professionals who are responsible for recruitment as part of their role in Human Resources. In this session participants will experience: - An overview of social media networks
- A review of some of the potential methods of using these networks to recruit new employees.
- A review of some of the associated challenges and risks for the hiring organization and the recruiter.
- Advantages and disadvantages of social media in the workplace.
