Be Strategic
Kasey Sixt, VP of Branding – CKR Interactive (recruitment advertising agency)
It’s crucial for organizations to be on the major social channels – LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and [to a lesser extent] Google+
Building a presence is important, but it’s what you do with it that matters. What companies have to do is tell their story in a more compelling way
Look at your goals and target demographics and tailor your story strategically to each
market
May want to relate different experiences on different sites
Always include a link to your career site in tweets, posts, and updates

have had the most action
Google Analytics Find out from where most of the website’s traffic and referrals are coming
Facebook Has insights and new metrics about friends of fans Informative, but can be overwhelming
Analytical tools can give daily snapshot (free and/or fee) Provide actionable data to optimize content Monitor and adjust accordingly
