Yours socially, Recruitments

The social media profiles and active connections of people has enthused one and all in the business community. The human resources fraternity is not an exception to this. Don’t we hear news here and there that the HR departments in companies have started to review the social profiles of candidates to understand the candidate’s suitability for the organization? Though the social profiles of candidates can describe and determine the candidate’s personality per se, however the fact remains that these social media profiles are created by the candidate himself. Hence, these profiles do not by any way testify their authenticity for the candidate’s background. For example, if a candidate claims to have worked in ABC Corporation for 3 years under a certain capacity, you as a recruiter can’t turn to the social profiles and ascertain this but you do try & contact ABC Corporation by yourself or employ third party agencies for the background verification process. Don’t these activities take a lot of time, money and resources?

Well, if you say, YES to the above question then I suggest that the below blog post is for you. Correct, a typical social media for businesses can help in determining the authenticity of a candidate’s career, background information and much more.

Imagine, a b2b collaboration platform or a true social media for businesses that revolutionizes the way companies collaborate externally (i.e prospects, customers, and suppliers) and internally (employees). For understanding purposes, the same b2b collaboration platform that a company uses to contact prospects, customers etc can act as a secure intranet providing collaboration space for employees.

So, this b2b collaboration platform is also an enterprise social media enabling organizations to manage & control detailed information, policies, roles, responsibilities etc pertaining to all the employees. Now, if this b2b collaboration platform can hold the profile data of each employee then companies can access the background information of the candidates within a few clicks. So, the next time a candidate walks in for an interview, you can simply cross check the information provided on his resume with that on the b2b collaboration platform.

This can also be perceived that the business community on the b2b collaboration platform can not only transact with their respective products & services but also share such authentic information.

In addition to this, companies can make use of the business apps that are tightly coupled with the secure intranet. The Jobs application on the b2b collaboration platform can help the HR departments in companies to manage job openings, internal recruitment processes, etc with ease.

Business lives catching up with our social lives, eh? Watch this YouTube video for a first hand view of the b2b collaboration platform

Similarly, community apps (like Jobs, Products, Groups, Events, Blogs, Answers etc) can be built and shared by the b2b fraternity and spectacular benefits can be realized.
