ConnectINg the world of work How we re turning stronger relationships into smarter recruitment In collaboration with
The changing face of recruitment Relationships have always been at the heart of recruitment, but today s digital landscape opens up new opportunities to build meaningful long-term relationships. We live in a connected world. The rise of social media has transformed the way we meet people, engage with people, share information, and represent ourselves across a wide community of contacts. The world of work is no exception. Social networks offer powerful new methods to connect talent and opportunity. Crucially, the success of these methods relies on the quality of those connections. Switched-on individuals are more interested in career planning than job seeking, while switched-on organisations understand the need to communicate their Employer Value Proposition even when they re not hiring. We believe that bringing these two groups closer together is the key to the new world of recruitment. LinkedIn is a vital platform for building those relationships if you have the expert knowledge to make the most of it.
