For Canada’s IT talent, look to social media

In a market in which talent is a precious commodity, IT recruiters need to stay ahead of the curve.

It’s an accepted fact by now: Social media is one of the best places for “passive” recruiting. This is to say, finding candidates who aren’t knocking on your door but may be enticed by the right offer. The best IT recruiters these days have to be the most social. And ust as social media is evolving, so is recruiting. Tim Collins at Stafflink offers up some of the latest tips on how to make it work for you.

He covers LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter, as well as blogs and online portfolios. Aside from general tips on how to use hashtags and boolean searches to narrow in on your target, he shows you how to fine-tune the various platforms for the best results.
