HR & Social Media

[tombhrm]

Basically a business can use snapchat to its advantage because of its major usage. Snapchat is constantly being checked and used by everyone so enabling it to communicate it within a company could be used. It can be used to send alerts to people, send them pictures of events, or videos of their own projects. It might be an effective media tool used to connect employees, especially the millennials like us who have expert knowledge of snapchat.

I can see how this could be beneficial. In this day and age social media users like things quick and to the point. With snapchat having a small time limit this can be a way to keep people engaged while keeping it short and sweet. I like the idea!

One of those moments that we often talk about. HR was on it immediately. People still have yet to learn that what happens on the Internet does not stay on the Internet. It’s not a fantasy land it is real life with real consequences.

And an internship does not count 😂

Tips on how to appeal to a potential employer. Just like a date.

Many people do not realize that online dating websites take on similar criteria and principles to consider when attempting to appeal and engage with potential employers, in which a human resource department might evaluate.  One single picture of yourself gives off a number of messages, and it is important to understand that companies and/or potential matches do tend to “judge a book by its cover.  This means that it is the individual’s responsibility to upload appropriate and tasteful pictures of oneself so employers feel that they are the perfect fit for the job, or in the online dating case, they are a good match.  It is one of human resource’s biggest jobs to see how people present themselves online.   Therefore, dating websites are a good comparison because it gives a general idea of what people look for when trying to begin a good relationship whether it be in a situation with a romantic partner or in a company’s case, a business partner.

I like the way you compared HR seeking a candidate to an individual seeking a potential date online. That was a good and very true perspective. It's best to keep it classy when using the Internet. You never know who is watching.

Although LinkedIn is used as the top social media tool for recruiting, Facebook is not far behind. According to the attached infographic 85% of Internet users have Facebook. A growing number of Facebook users are updating their profiles with professional information in order to gain the attention of potential employers. One thing the infographic mentions is to create a career page that is clutter free. I think people should keep their professional pages separate from their personal pages but use wisdom when posting on both pages.

These were hilarious to me. Human resources using social media as a tool seems like it can be very good or a waste of time. I do believe that when it comes to hiring and firing there is a very thin line of what is ethical and what is not.
