Drive your career
Social media has enhanced networking. You are given the access to people you could never imagine get in touch with a decade before! This multiplies the possibilities and empowers you with a great asset.
Now you can build your own tactics and strategy to break into a targeted circle of decision makers. Trough referrers you can be introduced to key people that will then promote your profile and help you reach the decision maker for this particular job you covet.
Individuals are now able to do their own job hunting and drive their careers in the direction they choose.
Building your image on the web is a hard and long path to follow. However, it is to last for long. That gives you the opportunity to cover a longer period of time and move to a more ‘passive’ search.
One of the main issues in recruitment is struggling on time: from the initial business need and the time the job has to be filled, there are just a couple of months! HR has then to be really organized and have to choose between the candidates that are, at this time, available. That leads, most of the time, to a default choice.
By adopting a passive search strategy you merely avoid the time criteria. And you give the opportunity to a broader range of recruiters or hiring managers to identify you!
