How fastness are we in getting profiles through Social Media Network ?

Using social network is becoming a buzz work to all recruiters at any point of discussion either on having coffee or at the meeting desk,how many resources are we able to get through Linkedin,Twitter ,Facebook etc.

         Their was a time when i was working on challenging role,it was skill which is not on portals,and it really took time ,i used to be approached  my colleagues,boss anytime of the day on this subject believing in me i do great stuff on this skill,even i believed the same ...i had a word saying "Still my search on " which was hard pressing for me to say that because i used to get profiles through linkedin  on most skills and this time was making me really hard on meand i have look myself why it is not working on me ,bit of luck needed to get these profiles,
On my searched and research i found through Linkedin that i was able to understand about other global locations on these resources,earlier i was focusing on one location but the response from other locations makes me to understand where their is large number of resources to be tapped on similar skill in other countries and need to think ways and means to bring them  ..This is what ultimate power of Social Media Network.

Social Network is used for 

       - Analyze
      - Strategize
      - Attract the talent

Challenges in Social Network   on candidate Response time :
By social network when posting ,recieving resumes takes time from 1 hrs to 365 hrs depends on the need and attractiveness of job posting, i still remember inspite of attractive posting and explaining role,i used to get negative responses,one thing we all should understand social network is not job portal ,is more of network site and we are try to understand how many resources are mapped in those technology,is purely on knowledge basis
  
But most recruiters started using as portal to get resumes and don't understand we are building relationship or network ,simple terms we are building new friends.

Building friends as old saying "Your planting a seed and it has grow as per nature to become tree and not planting a tree and growing  next day as recruiters thinks ",u post a job and next minute we are filled with resumes in our inbox,
   
Please and always keep in mind:Social Networks sites is not job sites,it has timelines  and all it needs patience and continous job posting,we all have habit from portal,post once and relax,when you are posting in Linkedin,keep it has habit,you need to post a job minimum a 3 times and max is 6 times in a day of every job posting,if you do like that as an habit you will get resumes ,otherwise it is not good tool for any recruiters,i meant it when you are posting jobs in Post jobs section and not in Inmail section,if you do continous mails to same person he puts you under spam list,we have to be careful on this,never post multinple times to candidate directly through inmails,he wont reply back again

So next time when you are using Linkedin etc,keep in mind we are building good relationship and not pulling resumes....

Enjoy Sourcing...........

How are we utilizing Reference as part of Recruitment

We all take /use references at every point of our recruitment cycle, not mandatory some times reference works most times reference may not be suitable on the requirements we handle.. But we always keep it aside , one option is try to connect them on LinkedIn  and keep them share your opportunities to them or message them on LinkedIn when possible .. i always use it for niche skills hiring /Leadership hiring.... Please dont expect immediate results but once you get profile you dont need to worry that he/she will join and not to worry about caliber of the  profile as he /she will recommend the person he is trust worthy  and on the disclaimer sense some people wont join due to valid or genuine reasons that you could always write too.. When doing Background checks, that is huge pool of data we miss , is better to take details of their reporting managers and maintain separate pool , it is not wrong but wise way of working through challenging positions it sure to help .That is huge s

SIMPLE BOOLEAN SEARCH FOR TECHNICAL RECRUITERS

This Boolean search strategies is being offered for free to enable technical recruiters to more effectively mine the Monster resume databases. CAUTION: The concepts below also apply to other databases, but NOT all Boolean search engines were created equally. Some require that AND/OR be in all caps (Monster do not). Some don’t even use ‘and/or’, but use ‘+/-’ instead. I need to really stress this point, I. THE ROLE OF PARENTHESES IN BOOLEAN SEARCHES It makes a difference how you group the numbers below by putting in parentheses: 1+2x2=$5 million? $6 million? 1+(2x2)=5 Here we did the “multiply” first, and then the “add”…..Multiply is similar to “and” (1+2)x2=6 Here we did the “add” first, and then the multiply. ”Addition” is similar to “or” Parentheses will help us group search terms for effective searches II. EXAMPLES OF WRITING A BOOLEAN EQUATION JavaScript or C++ and SQL ?????, without parentheses or a ‘rule’ that says do “and” first & then “or”, or vice versa JavaScri
