The Haze Over Social Media Recruiting Is Clearing - Author: Marvin Smith | Source: HCI
One year ago, I created some message alerts that daily searched the web for articles related to social media recruiting or social recruiting or web 2.0 recruiting. The articles were few and far between. Today, I receive multiple alerts discussing the topic.
One year ago, I was unclear as to what the correct social strategy was for my work at Microsoft. What I did understand clearly was that the social media phenomenon was having an amazing impact on talent identification. For some reason people were self-identifying and segmenting themselves into their areas of interests. By openly declaring their affinity and interests, it made my role as a talent sourcer much easier. Well, to be perfectly candid, it made finding people easier; there was that little issue of how to engage talent on social networks. Today, our social strategy is clearer, but all the hype, buzz and conversation can cloud the key issues.

The Moment Social Media Became Serious Business

The Moment Social Media Became Serious Business - by Tammy Erickson
It happened last year, around the first of July. In my experience, the switch was just about that abrupt.
All last spring, most senior business leaders I met shrugged off the business applicability of Web 2.0. Allowing access to social networks in the workplace was something they were willing to consider only if it was absolutely necessary to keep younger employees from complaining. Twitter? What was that?
But by summer, the conversations I was having with senior executives about the use of these new technologies took on a very different tone. Recognition grew that 2.0 technologies could be used to change the way work gets done in fundamental ways. Interest in exploring these new ways of working, of sharing information, of collaborating to enhance productivity and meet business goals, was here.
Advances in our ability to communicate always change the way we live and work — the two are inextricably linked. The advent of writing facilitated the development of a complex, stratified Egyptian society as rulers were able to document their holdings and express their wishes; the printing press spurred democracy as information spread among the populace; the telex allowed the growth of major cities as headquarters became physically separated from the factories.

Why You Should Join HR Professional Groups?
Posted October 14th, 2009 by Aquire Blog
Family life, 60-hour work weeks (if you’re lucky), soccer practices, helping with homework, diaper duty, PTA – in our hectic lives, who has time to join a professional organization, much less volunteer to help run a professional organization?
My response is, “Perhaps you simply start with baby steps.” Joining an HR professional organization is incredibly easy. Many of these organizations offer membership at no charge, resulting in incredible value. Target a group or two that are pertinent to your field, in my case HR groups such as IHRIM, SHRM, or OAUG. Initially, attend a few meetings as a guest, meet the members.
Motivation for social networking at work
The introduction of a social networking site inside of a large enterprise enables a new method of communication between colleagues, encouraging both personal and professional sharing inside the protected walls of a company intranet.

Corporate Twitter? The Three S’s That Must Be Overcome -
As Twitter becomes more mainstream, it is tantalizing to think about what could be a powerful component of Enterprise 2.0. And, before anyone thinks that I am against such tools, think again. My purpose as a leader is to drive the dialogue that leads organizations to flawless execution of change. This is what most people would consider “doing the right things right”
