Social RecruitingDon’t Waste a Crisis
Laurie Ruettimann
TODAY
We are at the end of a recession and the beginning of a new cycle.
Social recruiting is here—but it's not about overlapping new and emerging technology onto existing, broken recruiting processes.
It's about slowing down, stepping back, and rethinking the nature of work.
It's time to question everything including how we hire people, why we need employees, and who we ask to join our organization.

MESSAGES TO JOB SEEKERS
Social networking is a valuable tool to educate yourself, stay current, stay connected, and find employment.
Employment won’t solve your life’s problems.
Stop spending.
Stop consuming.
Don’t waste a crisis.
Change your life.
MESSAGES TO LEADERS
Talent doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Everyone is impacted by the economic downturn.
Social media won’t fix a broken hiring process or failed business model.
Nothing turns away talent faster than failed leadership.
HR and Recruiting professionals are paid to do great work. Endorse those efforts. Don’t undermine it.
MESSAGES TO HR/RECRUITERS
Hire someone. Today.
Stop talking about workflow, organization models, process maps, and technology.
Be relevant.
Establish credibility and expertise.
Cultivate logic. Be current. Operate with integrity.
