This recent article
published on 1 July 2014 is about companies turning into mobile applications to
search for top talents. According to recent study, it shows that a staggering
45% of applicants now apply for jobs on mobile devices. A good number of companies
nowadays make use of social networking websites to place job openings at the
same time as the more innovative ones also control social media to assemble
networks of people interested in the company that might revolve into
prospective high-quality workforce.
The statement also implies that
organizations can now CONTROL huge data tools from retailers such as LinkedIn,
Facebook, and other social media applications. Information Technology Company
HCL Technologies also now interview candidates through a video based interview
and later accessing them.
A manager in HTC, Naveen Narayanan, global head
talent acquisition at HCL Technologies stated that "We also make
sure that we are available for conversation and engagement with the potential
candidate on FB, Twitter and Glassdoor,"
In my opinion, this method is fast and efficient but
may lack the judgement in hiring candidates. People applying for job through
social media is fast and easy but at the same time companies need more than
just a resume. Work ethnic and personality are as equal as the quality of
paper. Thus, it has it ups and downs and it really depends on the preference of
the company.
