When creating a social media recruitment strategy, there are three critical considerations every employer or talent organization must address directly and comprehensively. The good news is, you already know the answers to these crucial questions, and while unique to every company, recruiter and job opportunity , those answers provide a strategic, measurable framework for social recruiting success . The Big 3 Questions of Talent Acquisition Hiring managers, HR business partners, recruiters and executive leadership (not to mention current employees) are all crucial stakeholders in the talent acquisition and retention process.
