It is low cost, time effective and now the norm within the recruitment industry.
What is meant by the term Guerrilla Marketing ?
Guerrilla marketing means marketing done with an aim to create a unique, engaging and thought provoking concept to shake-up the market in some way and in turn helps to attract the very best candidates for many roles. Even though Social recruitment is trying to follow the path of guerrilla marketing, traditionally it’s not really very creative at all.
Why is it necessary for Hiring Managers to have large social media and social Ad budgets?
Its always appreciable to have an investment in social media. Hiring managers should always keep in mind that earned media is the result of paid and owned media and for every business there should be strategy that ‘fits’ and such a strategy will vary from business to business.
