Tiwtter for Recruiting ??

Hiring!! The first thing you would do would be to go onto a Job Board. But Job Board's might just become a thing of the past, as one company is using Twitter to recruit people for Jobs.

In February 2009, Twitter had about 7.1 million users. It was a big growth from the last year. Some of the companies found this growth rate a great opportunity to recruit people for jobs.

In the recent news, we saw that two people from a digital advertising agency Organic said that they were using Twitter for their Job posting. He went on to say that "Once we have an opening that might be a fit for a Twitter friend, rather than making a cold call to a stranger, we can make a “warm tweet.”

Another important benefit is that there are no time constraints,and thus you can tweet a candidate at any point of time without disturbing their busy schedule.Thus making it very convenient.


To add to this Twitter is free unlike many Job Boards.:)

So lets "Tweet" away, and find the right candidate....
