Best Practices in Social Recruiting with Facebook Revealed

In 2012, many companies asked the question, “Is Facebook a useful tool for my recruitment and employer branding strategy?” After extensive research and numerous real-life case studies, it is more apparent than ever that it is crucial for employers to begin using Facebook as a method for attracting new talent.

Global recruitment marketing agency CKR Interactive and world leader in Facebook recruiting solutions Work4 Labs have partnered to create a webcast that details how employers can take full advantage of the Facebook platform in connecting and engaging with top talent. CEO Stéphane Le Viet from Work4 Labs, along with Vice President Kasey Sixt from CKR Interactive, will highlight how today’s top employers are utilizing Facebook to strengthen their social recruiting and employer branding efforts. More specifically, the webcast will present the eight building blocks for successful recruitment on Facebook.

The webcast will also feature insight from VMware, one of the pioneers in the social recruiting space. VMware’s Social Recruiting Community Manager Price Smith will walk attendees through past and ongoing efforts, as well as challenges and successes. Participants will leave with tips and tactics for optimizing their social recruiting efforts on Facebook, as well as information on how to access CKR Interactive and Work4 Labs’ joint white paper, “Facebook Recruitment and Employer Branding: Best Practices and Ideas From the World’s Leading Companies.”

“Facebook can be an amazing tool for employers as part of their social recruitment mix,” shared Sixt, “We’ve seen great success with our clients using Facebook as a means of truly engaging with quality candidates.”

“Facebook has so much to offer when it comes to connecting with and recruiting top talent,” added Le Viet. “We’re excited to shed light on emerging trends and best practices for employers looking to either jump in the game or optimize their current social recruiting efforts.”
