This blog has covered many social media marketing topics as they relate to marketing folks, but we do not want to leave our human resource professional friends out in the cold either. HR drives many marketing programs as it is important to attract the best candidates for open positions.

Likewise, a candidate is more than keywords on a piece of paper.  Social media can create portals for them to open more up to you in the form of user generated content.  This content can truly describe a lot about a candidate and the experience can be fun for both the company and the job seeker.
