Utilize Micro-blog Technology to Find Talent or a Job
This morning I had the opportunity to review a site that enables recruiters and job hunters to connect with one another with greater ease utilizing micro-blog technology. Tweet-A-Job, which is currently in Beta, describes its services as such, "We provide recruiters the fastest way to connect with qualified candidates - online or on-the-go." Recruiters have the ability to Tweet jobs posts via their network and job candidates can receive updates via the Tweet-A-Job platform or from directly within their existing Twitter account. The thought of receiving job information via the Twittersphere isn't new, but providing recruiters with a platform to better connect with passive job candidates is still a good idea. All you need to do is sign up for a free account, write a job tweet and pay five dollars to post the information via their system which will connect your message with a large number of recruiters. If you make multiple posts per week then you'll be eligible for a per post discount. It will be interesting to see how many recruiters interact with this new platform in the up coming months!
