1) Social Hiring is fast becoming the leading source for talent, supplanting “headhunters”, consultants and job boards. In the near future, most leads for talent will come from “Extended Referrals” as employee referrals will extend beyond employees to include company’s alumnus, employees’ alumnus’s, creating an “extended social network” expanding the reach of a company by 100 times.

2) The majority of passive job seekers are finding jobs through the Social Hiring route vs. job boards and consultants combined.
3) Social Hiring applications will become the platform of choice for candidates as they provide higher privacy to candidates vs. posting resumes on job boards. Candidates will become more empowered “customers”. Job prospects will have increased access to jobs and more information on those jobs, salary and benefits, and the companies they’re evaluating.

4) Facebook will become the dominant talent sourcing social media platform, followed by LinkedIn and perhaps Google Plus thus replacing job boards.

5) Social Hiring Applications (SHAs) (built on social media platforms) are the most efficient (submission per fill) and cost effective channel for generating talent leads, seeking and engaging with your talent community in a private and secure fashion.
