By using the popular sites like LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter, Recruiters are able to reach future potential employees in a way not possible before using traditional media. Although Linkedin has been around since 2003, Facebook since 2004 and Twitter since 2006 it has only been over the last few years that the use of Social Media in Recruitment has really started to take off.

Mike Taylor, Managing Director of Online Recruitment Marketing Specialists - Web Based Recruitment - organised the UK’s first Social Media in Recruitment Conference in July 2009 and commented ‘Back in 2009 our first Conference was more or less a case of educating delegates as to what Social Media was and how they could benefit from using it in recruitment.’

A second Conference quickly followed in April 2010 which also included case studies from delegates who were sat in the audience the year before. ‘That really was a turning point for the use of social media in recruitment as it clearly showed what results could be achieved in a short time from following advice and taking action’ continued Taylor.

‘With the third Conference set to include even more case studies and success examples there is something in the programme for everyone, whether they are just getting started or looking to increase their previous knowledge.’Further Information For information about the Speakers and the full Conference Programme visit: http://www.SocialMediainRecruitment.com
