Recruiters should take cue from Obama’s social media strategy

Attention recruiters! Take a look at how the Obama Administration is using social media to communicate with people. Recruiters and employers everywhere should be establishing their own communication points on these sites in order to communicate with prospective candidates. And we do mean communicate.

About Chris Russell

I am a 10 year veteran of the online recruiting industry. In 1999 I started AllCountyJobs.com LLC , a network of regional job boards for job seekers in CT, NY, MA and RI. Today I still manage that business, I run 2 other social networks: Secrets of the Job Hunt and Job Boarders, and I started the first ever podcast show for employers.

It's called Jobs in Pods and its changing the way companies talk to candidates.

Podcasters wanted

Here's an interesting story;

Are you a podcaster looking to promote your show? If so, we’ve got an interesting opportunity for you. This month we thought it would be a fun experiment (and would save a few dollars) to give our readers the chance to help create the podcast edition of Blogger & Podcaster Magazine (each story is turned into an audio podcast, so it can be listened to instead of read.)Continue

What Is a Community Manager?

According to Read/Write/Web:

A community manager can do many things (see below) but the most succinct definition of the role that we can offer is this. A community manager is someone who communicates with a company's users/customers, development team and executives and other stake holders in order to clarify and amplify the work of all parties.

Chris, so glad your here, I find this all so very interesting. I really wanted to work in this field and have been actively studying it now for over a year, as you know because it is so new there are very few jobs available, so I started a business, "Simply Social Media" it is in its infancy, but has caught the eyes and ears of many in the city that I live in. I hope to network and learn as much as I can from everyone here, again thanks and nice to meet you.

Hi Chris, just wondered if this site will list international jobs, or just US ones?

Thanks Chris and thank you for starting a social media focused job board. Probably one of the fastest growing niches that isn't directly targeted as much as it should.
