Why Recruiting Will Become More Important As Online Social Media Evolves, Not Less.

It’s funny to hear talk about recruiters being replaced by online social networking systems in the next few years. It reminds me of the late-1990’s when people thought that accountants would become replaceable with the advent of TurboTax & other tax software packages. Now we know; as long as tax law continues to be complex, there will be a need for good accountants to interpret and apply that information on our tax returns.

But let’s back up to the reason recruiters are brought on board in the first place. In many cases, they are more effective at locating qualified candidates than the company can do on its own. With the advent of new online tools, it’s possible for recruiters to become even more effective if they develop and learn new methods to stay ahead of the curve. There’s no reason  to minimize the situation; A Darwinian process is in effect as we speak, recruiters that adapt and develop ways to be effective within this new environment will be better at locating candidates going forward and therefore have a better chance of succeeding/surviving.

Recruiting online is the first step towards becoming more effective in locating candidates. But the challenge facing recruiters (and the internet as a whole) is the fact that there is TOO MUCH information available, which makes it difficult to locate the right kind of information when it is needed.

Social networking and online media is a treasure trove of many things that can be used by marketers and advertising individuals, but everyone is looking for different things related to their industry/product. The challenge recruiters face going forward is locating the right candidate information at the right time from all the terabytes of data available to them online. [More on that in an upcoming post which will be linked to here once posted.]

As long as there is a need to locate good, qualified candidates from the masses, there will be a need for recruiters to locate them, guide them through the hiring process, and place them.

A lot of questions have been submitted to customer support from people looking to make referrals asking how this whole online referral program works.

The most often asked question: Is the referral award split or is it paid out in full?

Answer: It’s paid out in full. What you see is what you get if an individual is hired.

Here’s a quick overview of how the site works from the referral source perspective.

To get started, select a region where friends are looking for jobs then review & search the job postings. If someone you know fits the job description and is also looking to start a new job – make a referral!

Simply click on the ‘make a recommendation’ button when viewing the job to forward it on to them. If they end up being hired, an email is sent to the account on file and you get paid the referral award. (In full)

Help friends find a job, get paid if they are hired! A simple concept – Our mission here at My Job Referrals is to put you in a position to get paid for who you know!
