LinkedIn Referrals Give Social Connections Real Value in Recruiting Process

Recruiting is about finding high quality candidates, and Linkedin may have created a highly targetable tool for doing just that.

Social sites have become an important part of the hiring process for companies as well as employees. However, both parties are at odds when it comes to the best place to connect with one another. Linkedin is releasing new tools, including an update to Recruiter and Referrals, to facilitate the acquisition of quality candidates based on social connections.

The new Referrals platform will automatically search through your employees first-degree connections and suggest them as matches with jobs are currently open at a particular company.
