DESCRIPTION

Jacco Valkenburg is one of a growing band of recruiters who is looking to move his clients career sites from a traditional website to a Facebook career page, utilising Facebook technology, search and targeting. Others are strongly opposed to this view, believing the career site to be the number one venue for applications.

Facebook Page vs Recruitmentsite

PRO Facebook (Career) Page:

1.Fast

2.Easy

3.Free

Tabs can include all functionality of a traditional site50+% of internet population is familiar with FBNo need to have a FB account, everything is accessible (only commenting on status updates requires a login)

Facebook Page vs Recruitmentsite

CONTRA Facebook (Career) Page:A lot of misunderstandings regarding Facebook technologyTabs cannot be accessed with a mobile device*News updates are not always shown in timeline (Edgerank)

* 9% of internet traffic on the www-site comes from mobile

Page 14: Ditch the Career Site

www.recruit2.nl

Misunderstandings

1. Employees were afraid that they, and their updates become visible to ‘anyone’ (it’s not)

2. Facebook is temporary (a recruitment site too)

3. Not SEO (are your vacancies on top of Google?)

4. A Facebook account is required (no)

5. People don’t apply via FB (please tell?)

6. Privacy issues (no recruitment-data is ‘shared’ with FB)

7. Facebook is private (it’s a web-page!)

8. It takes a lot of work (picking up the phone is also work)

9. You always need new content (really?)

10. It’s a big scary step (or is it a smart thing to do?)
