Working at a Facebook based recruiting agency, I can only confirm what you said John! Companies don’t usually understand the rules and strategies behind social recruiting and the fact that it requires a good balance to build up your own traffic.

Loved this article, thanks for sharing!
Just wanted to add one thought: in addition to focusing on the all-important question of who you want to recruit, it’s likewise necessary to consider how to make it simple for candidates to actually apply. With this in mind, GooodJob has just released a free Facebook careers tab, offering a easy way for candidates and corporate recruiters to make that Facebook connection.

“The core principle of audience development is to give each visitor more than they invested. As long as your visitors feel like they received a net benefit, you will be able to hold on to their attention.”

This is such a great point, John–giving more than you get is crucial for any Facebook strategy.

Thanks for your post!

Thanks, John.
I welcome the input of those who are using FB to recruit and ask them:
1) How many positions have they hired that came exclusively through FB?
2) Were the hires recruited through postings or through using FB as a candidate source?
3) How long from first candidate contact through SD did the FBs hire take?
4) What was the CPH (as defined by the new standards) of the FB hires?
5) What types of candidates could be found only/more quickly/easily through FB than through other sources like an effective ER program, an exciting and candidate/friendly corporate website, or targeted direct sourcing?

Cheers,

Keith
