Last week I was running a few webinars for a client on Twitter and had to find some real life examples of job postings on Twitter – and I was really disappointed with what I found online. At the same time I was digesting Bullhorn Reach’s newest set of data collated from their gorgeous social recruitment platform which points to how powerful Twitter is as a social recruitment tool… things didn’t add up for me.

I love bits of kit that maximise my client-facing time – and SocialBro is right up there with the best. Some think that social media has created more work for us; I disagree – it has created a direct channel to people we want to talk to and enabled us to build stronger relationships with. SocialBro helps me achieve this with my Twitter community.

Bit.ly – the funny little abbreviation you probably see all over the place, especially in Tweets. You may already know that it is the de facto URL shortening software (80million of them are shared every day), but there are loads of other benefits, some of which I will go through in this blog.

I love apps, especially those that save me a little time and help me be better at what I do. I have been using Followerwonk for some time and wanted to share what it does for me.

Twitter – full of people nattering on about cats and cake? NO! Full of people chatting about their jobs, life, companies – lots of lovely juicy data to help you find people you may want to do business with (or place if you are a recruiter). But how do you find anything when there are over 175 million tweets sent per day? Twitter Search Operators could help…

Alexa.com is a great site which shows the rankings of websites around the world.
It’s worth keeping up to date on which ones are at the top, especially if your strategy part relies on the rankings of sites such as LinkedIn, Twitter etc… You may even want to know how yours ranks?

When an employee starts in or leaves a business, don’t forget to action some social media tasks as part of the change. Your business and brand are precious, so protect them.

If you use Twitter you may have seen #FF or #FollowFriday. Maybe you use this hashtag already. I have some thoughts on getting the best out of them which I have shared below.

Social media: all about “sharing not selling”, and you will always hear me wobbling on about tweeting not bleeting, sharing not barking, pulling not pushing, but “selling” (or “pushing”) through social media really does have a place, even if it is a small one.

Currently Twitter has over 200m users, is 10th on the Alexa web rankings scale and 200m tweets are sent per day. All of this adds up to a very active environment, with many positives, but unfortunately, some risks – one of these being SPAM.
