What is Social Recruiting?
It is an excellent concept which is helping both recruiters and candidates in the recruitment process. Hiring through these channels is a trend commonly seen these days. Getting candidate’s information from their social profiles, internet, and other online sources have always proved to be beneficial for the recruiters. In fact, many organisations have started using a social recruitment software to get detailed information about candidates.

Being one of the leading Hiring AI tool and Analytics Solutions providers, RChilli provides social update about a candidate through its Resume Enrichment solution. Millennials use digital media every day to interact with friends and colleagues. Knowing about candidate’s behavioral pattern has become a pre-requisite for hiring a candidate.

This facilitates identification of any misleading information given by candidate in the resume and analysis of candidate’s social as well as job changing behavior.

The need of conducting background checks of candidates is eliminated. As the recruiter gets authentic information about candidates, it becomes easier to find a relevant fit for the job vacancy.

A job score is also provided to the recruiter where candidates are ranked according to their job-seeking pattern.

Technology is an integral part of the lives of millennials. As they stay quite active on digital media, making recruitments through this channel is very helpful. Social recruiting has now become an important tool in the hiring process. With time and ongoing growth in HR technology, the HR world will soon see it as an essential element for recruiting candidates.
