Talent sourcing has never been the same since social media came into existence. With social media taking center stage, especially in the last couple of years, it has drastically changed the way companies recruited and hired prospective candidates. Companies ranging from Fortune 500s to small startups are now using social media as one of their key recruiting strategies.

Social media broke the shackles of traditional recruiting methods and it helps recruiters speed up their recruiting processes. Geographical boundaries have now been reduced to just a status update or a tweet. Employers, recruiters and prospective job candidates are now able to reach each other in a fraction of a second which was not the case in the past.

Statistics reveal that the year 2011 has been a year of social media. More than 14 million people have used social media to find their last job and an increasingly large number of companies have started using social media to recruit and hire the top talent.

Based on the above facts and figures, we can easily conclude that social media recruiting is “the best recruiting strategy,” but you need to remember that you cannot build your network on social media and leverage its benefits overnight. You got to spend some time with your followers & connections, engage with them and build a relationship to make the most out of your social media network. This is where a candidate sourcing software can be handy for recruiters.

A candidate sourcing software enables you to source the top talent from social networking sites in 3 simple steps. Just enter the keyword, select the search script and click Find. The built-in expert Boolean search strings help you to instantly search for candidates from the most popular social and professional networking sites and displays the search results in a few seconds.

The candidate sourcing software enables you to save a lot of time which you would otherwise spend on manually searching candidates from social networking sites. What’s more? The candidate sourcing software also enables you to capture the search results with a click of a button. You can also perform candidate background check to get more information about the candidates. A candidate sourcing software helps you source top talent from social media in no time.

ResumeGrabber Suite is one such candidate sourcing software that enables you to source passive candidates from the most popular social & professional networking sites such as LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Spoke, Plaxo, etc.

If you want to hire and retain the best talent, you need to use job success profiles in your recruiting campaigns. A job success profile enables you to match the skills and competencies of the employees against the expected outcome. So unlike job descriptions, it explains the role in detail and how to do it by going into the details of the job profile, and provides an overview of the organization’s direction and culture, etc.

A job success profile helps you to build a strong talent pipeline. In addition, as employee skills and competencies need to be aligned with the changing demands of the organization, job success profiles help you to map the path for employee development programs.
