Its not about the medium and social recruiting but it is about how a company develops their strategy and what they've put in place to capture the data. Many companies are able to track the data as indicated through the pre Summit poll - which can be accessed here: http://socialrecruitingsummit.com/2009/05/26/pre-summit-social-recruiting-poll/ (click on the more tab after taking the survey to see all results) There are certainly greater challenges when it comes to social media because it isn't always a direct line back to recruitment. There are things companies can do to measure brand impact, another important benefit for social recruiting, and that's where the opportunity comes in to better understand the total strategy for attraction and engagement.

The problem is they are all over the place, and in spaces that are not ideal for the recruitment process. I have co-founded a company, GrouperEye.com that serves as a natural space for students and employers to engage with one another. By seeking, engaging and retaining talent, companies can receive a better ROI as well as a more lasting impression on quality talent. It is clear that students are online.
