San Diego, California
(November 5, 2010)
– The number of employers incorporating social networking sites such as
Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter in the hiring process has significantly
increased in the past year according to a new whitepaper released by
StormStaff, a San Diego-based professional services firm.
The
paper states that employers use these sites to obtain a more well-rounded view
of job candidates, focusing on things such as communication skills, hobbies and
affiliations and professional qualifications.
The white paper also addresses the effects of social networks on the current
workplace, concerns associated with the use of social networking sites for both
employers and employees alike and tips on how job candidates can make their
online profiles employer-friendly.
“Social
networks have completely changed the face of the working world. More and more employers are using these tools
to research potential employees, but these sites are also highly effective
recruiting tools. StormStaff makes sure
to keep a strong presence on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. It helps us keep our finger on the pulse of
social networking, get our name out to potential customers and to find
qualified candidates,” said Kelly Strukoff, Associate Vice President of
