Session Description:
In the world of social media, time can easily get away from you. If social recruiting is your job function or one of the many things you do every day, you can find yourself in a time management nightmare. But if done right, and organized upfront, it doesn’t have to be.
Hard Rock International will take you through an exciting presentation of how they launched their social recruiting program, preferred tools and time management tips to keep these activities to about 15 minutes a day.
1. Access – learn how Hard Rock worked with various internal departments to determine the best approach and internal strategy for social media execution.
2. Time – in as little as 15 minutes per day, Hard Rock maintains three social networks. Learn what tools are more effective to streamline these activities.
3. Where to start – Hard Rock will walk you through the step by step process of how they got started, personal pages vs. fan pages, niche networks and provide hands-on, real-time demonstrations.
4. What to do – learn the 7:1 rule and other tips for success, including how to find relevant information to share, respond to questions and join in the conversation.
You’ll be on board – and online – in no time!
Participants will see firsthand that a view of social media as being time consuming and difficult to use is really just a misconception. In addition, participants will be able to:
- Work effectively with IT to ensure that recruiters have the access to social networking sites and technologies – both free and low cost – to streamline their efforts
- Get up and running quickly, including how to build effective pages on social networking sites
