Recruiters must 'step-up social media game' and 'embrace digitisation'

As internet-native millennials are breaking into the labour market, recruiters must step up their digital game in order to attract the best candidates. That's according to the Managing Director at Foosle.

Last year, worldwide internet users rose to three billion. 73% of them were active on social media. Of those that were social job seekers, 76% found their new positions through Facebook. Similarly, 73% of millennial job seekers are using mobile phones to view posts and apply for jobs. 

Alistair Rennie, Managing Director at Foosle spoke to Recruitment Grapevine saying: “In a world where there are more job applications than ever, there’s a greater need for candidates to stand out from the crowd and the old fashioned CV alone won't always cut it.”

The online job site created a forecast of the four digital recruitment trends that recruiters must be aware of.
