Comments on: Twitter a must have for recruitment http://www.recruitment-views.com/twitter-a-must-have-for-recruitment/576 My Views and thoughts on the Recruitment industry Thu, 25 Feb 2010 16:37:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Tim Latham http://www.recruitment-views.com/twitter-a-must-have-for-recruitment/576/comment-page-1#comment-267 Tim Latham Mon, 22 Jun 2009 22:09:20 +0000 http://www.recruitment-views.com/?p=576#comment-267 Stephen, Great post. But can I just raise one pet hate relating to Twitter and recruitment - if I follow a recruitment type person it's because I'm potentially interested in their stream of high value output! I don't want to receive a stream of job Tweets - if I get that I'll unfollow sharpish. So perhaps recruiters could have two distinct Twitter accounts - one for their thoughts / observations and a seperate one for any job Tweets.

Great post. But can I just raise one pet hate relating to Twitter and recruitment – if I follow a recruitment type person it’s because I’m potentially interested in their stream of high value output! I don’t want to receive a stream of job Tweets – if I get that I’ll unfollow sharpish. So perhaps recruiters could have two distinct Twitter accounts – one for their thoughts / observations and a seperate one for any job Tweets.

If you set up a twitter account for your company you only have one channel without any friends in the beginning. It's still a hen and egg problem. Be smart and use the twitter accounts of your employees. There are more of them and the audience is much bigger than before. Why should your employees let you use their twitter accounts? Well, for money :-) If you hire people by referral through the twitter accounts of your employees you can reward the employee.
