What is Social Media?

“Social media” is a generic term which covers various Web 2.0 platforms that allow for greater communication and engagement between like minded people. Focusing on user-generated content (rather than a traditional publisher-to-audience model), these sites offer an opportunity for users to engage, interact, share knowledge and connect. With a global reach, people from all walks of life now have the ability to source information and seek out business and career opportunities like never before.

Social Recruiting is the practice of using social media tools as a way to identify, attract, connect with and engage talent. Using a wide range of online channels, businesses have the ability to create meaningful connections with a far wider audience, and can build a more engaged, socially-adept talent pool.
