How social
media can improve your
bottom line
It seems like
almost daily a new article or blog
post comes out touting the virtues
of social media. Is this trend here
to stay? The numbers say yes:
- 80
million
people visit YouTube each month.
- There are
over
200 million
active Facebook users.
-
By the end
of 2010, the number of people on
Twitter is expected to reach
nearly 20 million.
So how can this
affect your bottom line? Your
customers are using social media. So
are potential employees, your peers
and even your competition. Social
media allows you to find your
desired audience and target them
directly. Best of all, it’s free.
SnagAJob.com is already using several
forms of social media including
Twitter,
YouTube,
Facebook,
MySpace
and
LinkedIn. Right now we are
reaching more seekers than ever
through those social media channels
– which helps employers like
you by increasing your
potential employee pool.
Learn more about how SnagAJob.com is
getting involved in the social
scene.
What’s your
employer brand?
When you talk
about brand, that
usually means the brand your
customers see – the words and images
that say who you are and what you
do. What about the brand your
employees see? Does your
employer brand have a
presence in the hiring process?
In Chapter 3 of his new book,
Help Wanted & Help Found,
SnagAJob.com CEO and Founder Shawn
Boyer examines how leading companies
apply their customer brand to the
hourly hiring process.
This can help
hone your job descriptions and
hiring criteria. Disney, for
instance, focuses on job candidates’
availability (on weekends and during
prime vacation times), appearance
(consistent with the Disney brand)
and attitude (you’re always “on
stage”). What three words best
describe who you want on your team?
Find out what else is inside Shawn
Boyer’s new book.

"I
would just like to thank
you for your services. I
got the job at Boston
Market as a catering
delivery driver. I
started today the 8th of
June. I really enjoy the
atmosphere. I think this
a great fit for me. So
like I said, a big thank
you to SnagAJob.com for
your help in this
matter. This job fits in
very well for me. I will
still have plenty of
time to do my online
college classes. I will
keep in touch in the
future as I update my
resume for an even
brighter future in
Graphic Communications
and Business
Administration."
