Recruitment – Is it time to log-on for that new candidate?

Social media tools provide a large database of candidates to help minimise recruitment costs.
Recruitment firm’s charges can be up to 20% of the first years salary for new staff. By taking on the work to filter through candidates to find the right match, recruitment costs can be significantly reduced by using social media.

For example LinkedIn has circa 240 million users and the *Recruiter* product has advanced access and functionality to identify potential candidates.

The independence, scale and speed of social media can provide a competitive advantage to minimise costs and find the right candidate.
Have you used tools such as LinkedIn, Seek, thesearchparty, recruitloop, indeed or other to find staff and what has been your experience?
