I am a recruiter. I am proud to be a recruiter. It's what I have always known and I think I'm pretty damn good at it. I work for a global organisation in an internal recruitment management role. My team, across 3 countries, is working to streamline our processes and the candidate experience and then.. The sky is the limit!
Any who. Of late there have been a lot of opinions and articles flying around about social media in recruitment, specifically LinkedIn.. I know healthy debate is good for the soul but I question why we are creating such a "who ha".. In short, it is being touted that people can post bogus information on LinkedIn. Really? News flash. People put bogus information on their resume too. The job of a recruiter is to weed out the truth whether it be on LinkedIn or in a resume.
LinkedIn is like a database, the information you get out is only as good as the information someone puts in. So recruiters, do your job and you should be fine.
As an internal recruitment manager I do wonder why agency recruiters haven’t really made LinkedIn and other such sites a bigger part of their sourcing methodology. Sites like LinkedIn assist internal teams to find talent. I think some agency recruiters have missed that boat. Perhaps this is why all the “who ha”. Sour grapes?
