In this assignment you will be creating a social media recruitment plan for your employer. If your current employer already has a social media recruitment plan, you will create a plan to revise it.
When used properly, social media recruitment plans can be a valuable addition to an HR department’s hiring strategy. Conduct some research and develop a social media plan to attract new employees. Keep in mind that your social media plan must be inclusive and therefore formalized to attract candidates who represent a variety of cultures, ethnicities, and backgrounds with skills and fresh ideas that will enhance the organization.
Drawing on the background material and conducting any needed additional research, prepare a speech to give to your CEO that spells out the social media plan for attracting new employees to three specific positions open at the company. Include a discussion on how the plan will attract a strong group of candidates who are diverse in thought, education, skills, culture, ethnicity, age, and gender.
In addition to a discussion on how the social media plan is based upon a philosophy of creating a diverse workforce as discussed above, include at least three of the following five sections in your social media recruitment plan:
