The Speaker Line Up for the UK’s first Social Media In Recruitment Conference on the 16th July 2009 has now been confirmed.

“Amongst the range of expert speakers we are delighted to have Facebook and YouTube speaking at the Conference” said Mike Taylor from Web Based Recruitment, organisers of the conference.

“Both Facebook and YouTube have been major players in the dramatic growth of social media over the last few years and they will both be covering how to use social media as part of an online recruitment strategy.”

The conference will focus on helping Recruiters understand exactly what social media is and how it can be used effectively in recruitment.
In total there will be nine industry experts covering the following subject areas:

• An overview of Social Media including social networking sites, blogs and podcasts.
• How social networking sites such as Facebook can be used to get messages to your target audience
• How to use LinkedIn to promote your vacancies and source new candidates
• How to use Twitter, TwitterJobSearch.com and the Job Search Engines for recruitment
• The legal issues re the use of social media web sites
• Using online video to promote your company and your job vacancies
• How to put together a social media strategy for your company
• The future - taking social media to the next level

“Even if a Recruiter has no prior knowledge of social media there will be plenty of information and examples of how social media is currently being used in recruitment. This will give Recruiters the confidence to consider where social media could be used in their own organisations” continued Taylor.

“Recruitment is changing and Recruiters who equip themselves with up to date knowledge about social media will be in a far better position when the current economic climate improves and companies start to recruit more people.”
