Use technology to improve your business. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and even YouTube were hot tools for recruiters in 2009. But 2010 is poised to bring even more technological advances that will help improve recruiter productivity. Web 3.0 and CRM tools will both emerge as an excellent way to track and communicate with candidates. Make sure that you stay on top of new technology and fully integrate helpful technology into your recruiting process.
Create a powerful brand that is memorable and that communicates your recruiter philosophy to both candidates and clients. Strong brands include websites, advertising, marketing and social networks that have a consistent message that’s tailored to your specific audience.
Create a powerful networking strategy that focuses on building strong, long-term relationships. Remember that networking will require an ongoing effort. Use newsletters, blogs and social networks to stay connected to your contacts.
Become an expert in your field. Write articles, conduct workshops and speak at industry events to remain on the radar of clients and candidates.
Become more flexible and understand that there is a movement away from traditional recruiting methods. This coming year will favor recruiters who are willing to embrace the major changes affecting the recruiting industry.
