From a recent posting on Linkedin (SIA) - More people are using Twitter and the Staffing Industry is Following!
OK but how is the Staffing Industry leveraging Social Media, like Twitter to attract talent? Below were my comments/ observations to this topic and posting:
Good subject to explore, Ray. You and I have worked for some of the largest staffing organizations- and in my observations, no ONE organization (Resources Rich or Smaller Player) is getting it right. SM technology, including Twitter, Linkedin, Facebook, etc. should be part of a Total and Comprehensive (multi touch point) Social Experience that binds talent together into Talent Communities or Talent Banks… AND as a result binds the Talent Community to the staffing agency. The staffing agency should be nurturing the Talent Community with unique content, REAL JOB exposure to its client organizations, education, counsel, a discussion forum and a FEEL GOOD NETWORK that the talent wants to belong to. Tweeting out job postings or giving away free SWAG if you "LIKE" an agency, will not provide strategic results or build a Talent Social Network! AND hard-to-find, exotic skill sets and savvy candidates will look at this type of messaging and consider it SPAM, like when email blasts were popular and misused.
An engineer/ IT/ health care professional or other in high demand GURU that bills out at $300.00 - $500.00 per hour + will rarely respond to an agency Tweet or Linkedin job message that is generic...nor will they waste time joining a staffing agency network that does not provide long term value...but they will gladly take the iPad you are giving away! Furthermore, sophisticated clients don't care about how you will recruit from a reactive perspective, they want to know how you are building your bench of talent and managing it regionally, nationally and globally. Social Media will help a staffing agency accomplish a Talent Community, to a certain degree, when implemented into a Talent Social Network Strategy and Solution.
See the Actual and Complete PEW report that was referenced in SIA here: http://pewinternet.org/~/media//Files/Reports/2012/PIP_Twitter_Use_2012.pdf

Roger Federer - Seven Time Wimbledon Champion & #1 Men's Ranking! WHAT ARE THE WINNING LESSONS?
This was such an awesome weekend for me. I not only got to spend time celebrating my 44th birthday but I love watching great tennis… and watching Wimbledon was exciting but was also filled with WINNING lessons! I am at a Wimbledon viewing part right now, so my insights will be quick and to the point! Love that I can share these insights with you in real time via technology!
*** Roger arrived at Wimbledon before the mobs did. He had won six times prior but made it a priority to check out the physical and emotional landscape. Get a pulse on things. Never make assumptions, just because you have gone down a familiar road OR been a winner in a familiar arena.
*** Roger played many, many games prior to coming to Wimbledon. This demonstrates his willingness to perfect his game and stamina.
*** Roger had the clear Vision to win Wimbledon a seventh time. During pre Wimbledon interviews he was clear about his intentions and communicated them openly. Some reporters thought this was a bit presumptuous, when in reality; it was Roger's plan and strategy.
*** Roger and TEAM / FAMILY FEDERER made sacrifices and rallied together to support Roger physically, emotionally, financially… and providing a resources rich & positive culture. The team all focused on winning! This is vital! You can win a few times on your own but you cannot be the best-of-breed on YOUR OWN!
*** Roger was in control even during physical and emotional challenges...he would channel that pain or anguish or setback and convert it into FUEL to win his matches and Wimbledon 7. Winning over Murray was not a Walk in the Park. Murray had raw passion and determination and you can win many games with these qualities but Federer came better prepared to overcome tough moments and TAKE IT ALL.
In life, business and sports...this combination of Clear Vision, Preparation, Experience, Practice and Support/ Resources will make you NUMBER ONE!
