Recruiting Using Social Networks

Half of our clients are in the recruiting and staffing world, and since my experience lies in headhunting, I've really been getting in touch with my recruiting roots in the last six months.  After a series of successful webinars introducing social media tools to staffing firm owners, I've decided to launch a series of webinars on specific methods of recruiting using individual tools.

Most advice on line consists of platitudes like, build a Facebook profile, or learn a Boolean search string, but my webinars are going to be live walkthroughs of recruiting using Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, LinkedIN, and blogs.  We're going to use actual screenshots and real job searches to demonstrate how recruiters should be attacking the social network space.

The first is May 21st, and it's open to everyone.  It's $89 and it will be run through Hireability.  It's simple.  My goals are 200 people for the conference, a pretty big number, and the only way it's going to happen is if my social media skills are up to the task.

Any help is appreciated - if I've given you some info or written something you've used, I'd truly appreciate it if you helped me pitch this webinar to your corporate recruiters.  If you're a Facebook user, you've been on the end of some bad pitches.  My job is to make recruiters Facebook-friendly.  And it just may get you ajob.

As always - links promoting my stuff are always met with links promoting yours (as long as you're not a spammer).
