Google and Linkedin To Speak At The UK’s Second Social Media In Recruitment Conference - 22nd April 2010 - London

(PRWEB) November 19, 2009

Both Google and LinkedIn have been confirmed as speakers for the UK’s second Social Media in Recruitment Conference on the 22nd April 2010 at the British Library in London.

“We are delighted to have both Google and LinkedIn speaking at the Conference” said Mike Taylor from Web Based Recruitment, organisers of the conference. “LinkedIn has been a major player in the dramatic growth of social networking over the last few years and Google continues to innovate with Social Media related products and services.    

Having organised the UK’s first Social Media in Recruitment Conference in July 2009, Taylor is looking forward to another successful conference to help Corporate Recruiters, Recruitment Agencies, Recruitment Advertising Agencies, Job Boards and Recruitment Industry suppliers get the most from using Social Media in Recruitment.

“There were over 150 people at the first Conference which was a clear indication in the interest in Social Media. The 2010 Conference will include speakers (with case studies) as well as an interactive discussion panel where delegates can ask questions to our specially selected industry experts.

The first conference quickly established itself as the leading event covering Social Media in Recruitment in the UK. Recruiters who equip themselves with up to date knowledge about social media by attending the 2010 Conference will not only give themselves a competitive advantage, but will also be in a far better position when the current economic climate improves and companies start to recruit more people.”

Conference Programme:

The subject areas to be covered at the Conference will include:

•     Strategies for using LinkedIn as part of your online recruitment plans.
•     Insights from Google to help you recruit using social media.
•     How to maximise the use of Facebook pages as a recruitment tool for your company.
•     Key strategies for using Twitter effectively in recruitment, including the use of automated tools.
•     How online communities can play a part in your social media recruiting strategies.
•     The legal issues surrounding social media and employment.
•     Social media strategies for Generation Y job seekers.

Success Stories:

There will also be contributions from delegates who attended the July 2009 Conference. They will share what social media strategies they have implemented since attending the first Social Media in Recruitment Conference.
