SOCIAL NETWORKING Search?? NEVER go by JOB DESCRIPTION via LINKEDIN, Facebook Twitter, etc sites

Hi All,

To be a unique recruiter or staffing organization,  recruiters should be strong at sourcing.

Sourcing is the first step that makes the final output fruitful. 
A good sourcing specialist can

1. Deliver SLA's
2. Save time
3. Ensures speed 
4. Gives variety of choices  

It cannot be necessarily a skill based search which is given in your job description.

**Always Do not go by Job description  in SOUCING**

How to do search in SOCIAL NETWORKING PLATFORMS

Job seeker on Social Networking Platform:

• People are Passionate for attractive Social Networking Page to get connected .
• Not always skills are given on their page
• They write designations given by Employer 
• Sometimes they give the outline of the Job ..
• Very few people keep it precise..
• Finally they try to present their job & skills in their own way.

The above can be considered as knowingly or unknowingly done as they are not aware that recruiters find hard to reach them.

Recruiters:
Its time recruiters use innovative ways to search the Social Networking Platforms.

• Whenever there is a new requirement a recruiter shall dive into sourcing platforms by the Designation or JOB Title
• Designation & Job Title is not which is uniquely followed by all companies. 
• We have to understand that every company has its own titles displayed to employees engaged.

How to do a Search:
So lets go by example
 Position   - Secrets Management, Hashicorp Vault Engineer.
         Skills - Hashicopr Vault, terraform, Cloud Security, Scripting tools - Python, Java or powershell

''So when you start searching profiles, you look at the designation and skills given in JD and start your search.
You will end up getting profiles in 10's or 100's
You feel like the profiles are less in the market and you invest your time in talking to candidates available for references and finally everyone says pls send an email to refer back.
They never comeback..''

Role to be played by Recruiter :

First research on the Role and the technology given by the Hiring manager.

Basic research involves the below:

• Study about the Technology and its features
• Get the keywords from the features
• Get the keywords of job duties.
• Do not use Boolean all the time - it reduces the no of profiles from the search.

The below is the most important factor that will make your search more easy.
