Talent Acquisition: Navigating a digital landscape

With David Martin, Vice President Primary Research at Nielson Online

We are spending more and more of our time living in a digital world. The average U.S. Internet user spends more time on Facebook than on Google, Yahoo, YouTube, Microsoft, Wikipedia and Amazon combined. In January 2010, Nielson reported that Facebook users average approximately 7 hours a month on the site. It’s veritable treasure trove of passive job seekers.  

This is all great information, but where do you start?

Our goal in providing this program is to equip you with the tools to understand the landscape of social media, understand how to set goals, build a sound strategy to maximize effectiveness, and produce measurable results. The basic ingredients to get you well on your way!
