Social media works in a very powerful way.For the past three months we have used an Integrated Recruitment Marketing Strategy for Health Care provider. Our results using Twitter and LinkedIn have been great. We have had 6 of 12 hires including 4 C level candidates. WE provide our services on a retainer basis. The Low cost recruitment agency model is a way to go. But you need active candidates. Using social media we were able to locate passive candidates that were looking if the right job came up. Frank

My opinion is that until this area of recruitment is more established, with more chartered cases of successes with quality candidates, this school of thought will always be on the fringe. Coupled with privacy issues, this does not make things easy. The frequency and volume of potential candidates is appealing especially for basic 'free promotion'. As an SME owner, the most cost effective way of recruitment for me are <a href="http://www.recruitmentrevolution.com/index.php?option=com_rrcontent_clients&task=low-cost" rel="nofollow">Low Cost Recruitment</a> Agencies, that offer a one-off flat fee, once the post is filled and not the industry standard of 20% salary.
