It is not a secret anymore: Job hunters use social networking sites as a tool to find and track potential employees. Online platforms, like Linkedin, Facebook and Twitter showcase companies and their products, and connect job seekers to potential candidates like me and you.
There is no doubt that Linkedin is the leading social network for business, where recruiters search for:
- New hires
- Applicant’s experience
- Length of professional tenure
- Connections
- Hard skills
Facebook/ Twitter/ Google+
On the other hand, we cannot underestimate the significant role of the other social platforms, where job seekers looking for:
- Photos
- Industry related posts
- Comments
- Cultural fit
- Interests
Some advice (take it or leave it):

+ Like and Follow the company’s page
