Furthermore, offering job fairs virtually is an advancement opportunity for recruiters to take advantage of.

This article provides suggestions on how the Food and Drug Administration can improve their recruitment process. According to the article the company does not advertise nor promote what career opportunities they offer. The FDA is lacking direction and guidance for new employees.

In order for companies to retain good employees, they must take the time to prepare employees them for their positions.

Facebook is launching into the job search site!!!!! They have created a social jobs application to facilitate users during job searches. All other job search sites such as LinkedIn should be cautious, because Facebook may just take over. Facebook is an extremely popular social media site many individuals use to connect with friends and family.

This is definitely an efficient and great way to recruit new employees. Many believe that social network will become a more important part of hiring in the near future.

As noted in this article the public sector is struggling to recruit employees. Per the article, the public sector is three times more likely than private firms to report that its image is a problem in terms of attracting new recruits. It is a critical component to recruit experienced individuals nowadays, since the Veterans are slowly leaving the workforce as the Millennial's enter.
Unfortunately, the public sector faces challenges such as pay freezes and pension reforms which discourage individuals with the expertise to apply. Dave Prentis general secretary of Unison, commented: "It is hardly surprising that senior staff are shunning the public sector. With the latest research suggesting 880,000 public sector job cuts by 2017, why would people risk taking a job that might be the next victim of the Tories' cuts? Why would they accept years of having their pay frozen when they can get better pay and bonuses in the private sector?”

The following video caught my attention, because it shows how social media is becoming an effective recruitment strategy. Recruitment is one of Human Resources most important functions, because it states the core foundation of what a company is expecting from its employees.
In this video, the Facebook recruiters are encouraging creativity and uniqueness. Some companies simply list what they are looking from candidates. However, other companies clearly state that they are recruiting the best and brightest candidates. The recruiters are engaging an open mind and searching for candidates with innovative and bold ideas. Facebook encourages candidates to apply even if they don’t have a lot of experience. They want to recruit individuals who connect various interests and make things happen. They also encourage teamwork and try to motivate individuals to learn new traits. Perhaps the public sector should incorporate more social media when recruiting in order to attract the new working class.
