Professional social media platforms like LinkedIn are routinely used by recruiters and employing companies to find the best and most suitable talent for job openings. LinkedIn has some excellent tools, both for job seekers, as well as head hunters, to help them find the right match. Other social media sites like Facebook and Twitter are also used by companies and organisations to find the right talent.
LinkedIn has a huge global membership and it allows members to search for jobs on its database as well as search for relevant companies and organisations and contact them directly. This means that job seekers can now take the initiative and reach potential employers or collaborators directly over a social media platform. At the same time, it allows recruiters to search for potential candidates and contact them.
