How to use Social Media and Website for jobs

For startups, SMEs & companies with irregular jobs, getting new CVs can be a pain. Also paying those stupid consultants who forwards all type of candidates can be avoided to a large extent if the web and social media is used properly.

Here is a quick post on it:

1. Have a career page on your website where you can describe the culture and explain all the queries that you come across. I like http://www.google.com/intl/en/jobs/index.html the most, they have cool stuffs. Create craze around your organization to attract the right kind of guys. Innovative people like crazy environment where there is Independence of expression.
2. Have a jobs sections where people can upload their CVs. Even if they are not interested in any of the job, they can still upload their CV. Here is a good example http://www.webspiders.com/careers/general-info.aspx
3. Have your twitter account like http://www.Twitter.com/TechShuJobs where people can follow to get notification. Some of them may want to keep themselves anonymous for them have a email subscription as we have mentioned at http://www.seoforclients.com/career.
4. You can also use Facebook integration and Facebook page for community around Jobs at your organization. We generally ask all our team members to share/retweet all our job requirements. This gives us a wider visibility.

We have Jeetbo.com where we keep on interviewing people. We get good candidates from there but still I feel the best guys are missing on all the job portals . For the best guys, we have a policy where we keep observing people on web and catch hold of the right person at different events.

Personal note: To start you must get a monster/naukri account id, search all the candidates and call them to make a part of your community.
