The Latest Social Media Stats For 2012
Yesterday I faciliated a webinar called recruiting secrets overheard in a dark alley (slides and recording to be published here soon). One of the areas we focused on was the continued glamour of social recruiting given all of the “talk” from experts, analysts and vendors the past few years.
The irony is that very few organizations are having real, sustainable successes as a result. When surveyed, a majority of the registrants and attendees (representing 20 countries & 49 states) have yet to make consistent hires as a result of sites like Facebook and twitter, yet when polled, 82% have made hires from the recruiting giant LinkedIn. More about this topic later.
As part of the set up, we researched a majority of the popular social media sites and online channels to provide a list of the most recent stats we could find. Think mobile isn’t growing? There are more iPhones sold in a day than there are babies born! Most of these stats were collected over the past 2-3 weeks so should be recent.. Enjoy!

Top 10 Resume Tips
How many times have you picked up a magazine while waiting for an appointment and flipped through the hundreds of pages of articles? How long did it take you to decide whether or not to turn the page? Studies show that most people make this decision in less than five seconds.
This is the exact same scenario with your resume—it can be discarded within a matter of seconds. Your resume is a marketing document, a convincing reason to want to meet with you for an interview. Without an appealing and marketable resume that contains information employers require, you will not get the job you want. Of course, never forget the complementary role a cover letter plays. A cover letter goes hand in hand with the resume. A good resume but a bad cover letter will ultimately end up in the same place—the trash bin.
Remember, your resume is the greatest asset you have—don’t forget this!

Read More4 Great Tools for Recruiting & Sales
There is no shortage of technology or tools for recruiters or sales professionals, but factoring in engaging with candidates and leads is the key to success in closing deals and generating referrals.
The knowledge you have at your fingertips within seconds matters, and that is the case with these 4 tools for recruiting and sales professionals. Each one of them is about connecting and engaging with your networks (or leads).
The best part, they are all free.
- The first tool is hachi. This is an incredible site that merges your social graphs and connections from all of your networks. And, in the case of multiple paths, it can compute the smartest path to get there via something called the “Path Score.” Hachi looks at factors like similar company, school and common friends. Example: Path from John via Facebook, who knows Susan via Facebook, who knows Charlie via Twitter.
- The second is a great app from Sales Loft which I mentioned a few weeks ago – you can find at JobChangeAlerts.com. With the free service you log in w/ your LinkedIn credentials and it sends you a daily email digest every morning of job changes and transitions, promotions, and birthdays from people in your network. It’s a great tool for engaging and connecting with your network.
- Yes, people still use business cards! Cardmunch, another LinkedIn acquisition, is a powerful app run by humans – not computers. With the app you can take a picture of any business card. Every business card you submit is transcribed, edited and reviewed by multiple workers to guarantee accuracy. They even crop the company logos from business cards. Cardmunch also features 1-Tap LinkedIn Invites, full text search, syncing contacts into address books, and an easy “sharing” feature.
- Last but not least is the email contextual contact plugin (another LinkedIn acquisition) called Rapportive. This social CRM tool will show you everything you need to know about your email senders including who they are, any of their social profiles connected to their email address, whether or not you are connected to them, their latest activity, their location, and the ability to take notes or quickly view previous messages from them.
Great tools like these never replace the art, skill, or competence of great recruiters or sales professionals – but they are an asset for engagement and efficiency. Know of other free tools you’d recommend? Share any in the comments section.
