“The traditional system of names and numbers on a database is dead . Candidates want to have a relationship with us and we want to ensure they are happy” Adam Gibson-OdgersBerndtson
Today, the long awaited 'White Paper' on Social Media Policies was published by the Association of Professional Staffing Companies (APSCo), Osborne Clarke (leading international law firm) and SITEFORUM experts in Social Business. Together the aim is to alert the Recruitment industry of the pitfalls in using social mass media platforms, wherein the reality is the data is not yours, but that of the site, be it Facebook or IinkedIn or Google + and so on.
Many issues around brand abuse and IP issues being discussed outside of the company are becoming clear and in some cases legal action needed to try and protect the rights of the employee or the employer. The White paper is the start of creating a social media policy for your company and also allow Recruitment companies to investigate placing a secure layer between the mass market and their own.
Every recruitment company needs a cloud based, social platform. If you spent money on a database in the last 5 years you wasted your money.” Chairman, global recruitment group. www.siteforum.com/SocialRecruitment
