Recap
of the Meeting:
Thank
you to all who attended our January IndySHRM luncheon program, “Online
Social Networking – I’m on, now what?”
Shannon
Seery-Gude of Bernard Hodes Group, presented an outstanding,
interactive session, inspiring a full house of 141 registered
attendees!
Participants
learned how to increase their understanding of improving the
experience on corporate career sites to connect with candidates
and build candidate communities, and how to better attract
and build relationships with potential candidates via social
networking sites like FaceBook and LinkedIn. Also discussed
were the changing expectations of the emerging workforce, how
NOT to spam, how to complete your profile and how to leverage
your corporate career site and next generation tools to build
relationships. The moral of the online social networking story
is “always be helpful and patient”!
Shannon
is an avid user of social media and a self-prescribed “geek”.
She loves the internet and insists that Facebook is NOT only
for your kids. Here are some highlights from her discussion.
The
Changing Workforce:
- Most people
talk about the generational differences of the workforce,
Shannon focused on the changes in technology and how they
effect the changing workforce
- Everyone,
across all generations is familiar with basic technology
tools like Google,
Amazon, eBay, etc. so technology touches all generations
in some way.
- People
are still influenced by friends, colleagues, family when
making decisions
- “ Word
of mouth” has changed with technology. Where we are
being influenced has changed, but who we are being influenced
by has not.
- The impact
of the internet, Google and social networks on your corporate
brand and on your personal reputation is very important to
recognize
- Changing
workforce tools include: Social networking sites, Career
websites, Blogs/Podcasting, Photo sharing and video sharing
Why Social Networking?
- Exponentially
expands your ability to link with others efficiently and
effectively for a whole scope of purposes
- Deepens
existing relationships
- Can be
used to expand your personal brand
- Note:
Consumer opinions posted online carry the second highest
trust and credibility factor for decision makers
- Social
Networking site examples: LinkedIn (27 million professionals
with ave income of $109,000), Facebook (130 million active
users), MySpace (100 million active users), Classmates (50
million registered users)
- Corporate
attitudes toward social networking: 64% of companies in the
US deny access to social networking sites and 54% of HR leaders
have had to discipline employees on the use of these sites.
- Anticipate
more policies coming out around this this year as it becomes
a more acceptable networking and talent recruitment media
for companies.
How to start:
- Create
a profile, make it as complete as possible
- Search
for and join related groups
- Invite
your contacts to connect with you
- State
your networking goal in your profile summary
- Make sure
you read profiles before connecting with others, some people
may not want to be contacted by recruiters.
- Be careful
about what you write on social networks – others can
see it and it can impact your personal brand
- Be patient,
not everyone checks their sites daily
