Recruitment Diversity: Going Beyond LinkedIn

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.
