I just returned from the Kennedy Recruiting Conference in Orlando. This was a hotel full of “internal” recruiters … those folks who are employed in–house to source potential candidates for their companies. And the four words and two themes we heard over and over were …
–Passive Candidates
–Social Networks
What internal recruiters want is the coveted A–player who is currently employed. Where they go to find them are social networking and job aggregator sites like Linked In, Ziggs, ZoomInfo, and Naymz.
If you want to play the game, you need to get in the game. If you aren’t where recruiters are looking, you won’t be found by them.
Email me with “Passively Social” in the subject line for a copy of my full article on this topic.
