Master social media recruitment across LinkedIn, Facebook, GitHub, Telegram, and more with advanced search techniques for finding and engaging passive candidates.

Description

The best candidates aren't on job boards. They're not actively looking—they're busy building, creating, and contributing in their fields. To reach them, you need to go where they are: social media. This course, taught by HR professional Mike Pritula, gives you a complete toolkit for social recruiting across the full spectrum of platforms. From LinkedIn and Facebook to GitHub, Telegram, and even Pinterest, you'll learn to find, engage, and hire passive candidates who would never respond to a traditional job posting.

  • Strategic Social Media Recruitment Framework: Understand why social media surpasses traditional job sites for reaching passive candidates and how to build a comprehensive sourcing strategy.
  • Platform-Specific Sourcing Mastery: Gain proficiency across LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, GitHub, Telegram, YouTube, Pinterest, Xing, and creative platforms like Dribbble and Behance.
  • Advanced Search Techniques: Master internal search functions, X-ray searches, Boolean operators, and specialized plugins to find candidates others miss.
  • Effective Candidate Outreach: Develop compelling communication strategies to approach passive candidates and build meaningful professional relationships.
