When LinkedIn recently announced it was enabling a block function on its site, many recruiters panicked. Social media sites, like LinkedIn, make it convenient for recruiters to find qualified job candidates. However, a large number of recruiters have become too dependent on social networking as a means of making connections. BuzzRecruiter understands the key to reaching potential recruits is strategy diversity. Diversifying recruiting strategies allows recruiters to reach the best recruits, regardless of social media blockades.

Making Your Website Work

As part of a diversifying strategy, recruiters need to figure out how to make their main website more effective. One way to do this is through a company blog. Every recruiting firm should have its own regularly updated blog. BuzzRecruiter offers blog design and content writing services to ensure peak visibility, focusing on relevant content that will attract individuals in target fields. Additionally, one key function of recruiter blogs is to link back to content on the main corporate website. An effective blog can be a powerful component in drawing attention to any recruitment firm. Cross-listed to social networking websites, company blogs from BuzzRecruiter can also strengthen social media presence by boosting content.

Reassess Your Content

Here is a question for all recruiters: when was your website’s content last revised? Recruiters should always keep their web content up to date and reflective of current job market trends. Revised website content from BuzzRecruiter can help any company demonstrate they are in alignment with current market trends and are prepared to make the dynamic connections necessary to succeed today.

Check Your Social Media

Even with its new announcement, LinkedIn, along with the other big social networking sites, like Twitter and Facebook, remains a valuable tool in the recruitment process. Recruiters should keep social network content up to date and refresh posts frequently. Don’t depend on a single networking site to do all the work, and don’t waste time with sites that aren’t serving you well. A focused social media strategy is more valuable than a mass of undifferentiated content. BuzzRecruiter’s social media branding services can provide the final polish of customization for your company’s chosen networking outlets.

About the Author

Sam Ajam

My name is Sam Ajam, and it is my mission to help businesses and individuals enhance their online reputation and presence.

When I helped found BizzwithBuzz, Inc. in 2002, I wanted to start a company that would help others take advantage of all possibilities in the vast internet world. I put my more than 20 years of experience in the technology industry to use through this graphic design and web marketing agency to grow small to medium size businesses nationwide.

In addition to working with businesses, I also help educate the next generation of web experts as a part-time faculty at West Valley College. There, I teach classes in freelance and media business start-up, graphic design, web development, and online entrepreneurship and e-commerce.

As I have continued to gain knowledge in the technology and digital media industry, I have turned my focus to creative marketing, social media marketing, search engine optimization (SEO), and graphic design for small businesses as well as those already established within their markets.

I also provide strategies to companies as they recruit talented prospective employees through my work with BuzzRecruiter.com, a website that develops strong web presences for human resources and staffing professionals.

Prior to co-founding BizzwithBuzz, Inc., where I serve as Chief Financial and Strategy Officer, I had a variety of management positions with a global information technology supply chain services company, including Director of eCommerce Sales, Business Development, Product Marketing, and Customer Service.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Santa Clara University and an MBA in Technology Management. Additionally, I have full-time adult and vocational teaching credentials in Business Management, Marketing, and Small Business Ownership.

Through all of my work, I have learned how challenging it can be to master internet exposure. I want to use my knowledge to help others achieve their goals online.
