Instead of spending hours searching for the many published articles/blogs, we want to collect them and encourage others, who haven’t published their results, to share them with the recruitment community. We can leverage each others experiences to create new venues and most important integrate them with other recruitment marketing strategies.
We welcome your comments and results. Let’s break them down into 2 categories, suggestions and case studies.
Here is my beginning list for SUGGESTIONS, many of which I found at Jobs in Pods Blog Facebook Recruiting Tips …

This article may have been very useful if the FB Groups it referred to could be found. Do these groups you mentioned exist for membership by any FB member, or only employers?

Did I do this correctly?

You can literally copy and paste Facebook for business in Facebook and it will take to a list of them. Choose the one with over 25,000 members.
ReplyDeleteRPB, I used the general Search function in facebook (the white box in the upper right corner of your home page or profile page). Found both of these groups easily.
ReplyDeleteOnce you have the search results, you're able to select Groups from the list on the left to narrow the results.
