Survey: 92% of Recruiters Use Social Media to Find High-Quality Candidates

Social media is playing a larger role in the recruiting process. Recruiters check the social profiles of potential candidates prior to hiring, and are also increasing their budgets for more social hiring efforts. A new study from Jobvite, the Recruiter Nation Survey 2015, provides more insight into how recruiter attitudes are changing.

Social media has become an almost universally adopted hiring tool, with 92 percent of recruiters surveyed using it as part of their process. 87 percent are using Linkedin, 55 percent are using Facebook, and 47 percent are using Twitter.
