Hi Bindra,
I do not trust that recruitment can be effectively done through Facebook, at least in India. However, Indian individuals do not update their personal details on a regular basis. I would suggest utilizing other social networking sites such as LinkedIn, etc.
Guys, please share your opinions as well for better clarity.

Hi,
Very few people in India will prefer Facebook for getting their job. LinkedIn is very useful for job searching. I myself do 80% of my recruitment through LinkedIn. Facebook is more suited for personal use rather than professional use. This is what I believe.

I conduct 80% of recruitment through Facebook. The steps I follow are:
1. Find targeted groups according to the job vacancy.
2. Post about the job vacancy.
3. Collect resumes.
4. Screen them.
5. Schedule an interview.

What I feel is Facebook can be a good source for requirements. I agree with Akshat. We can post about the job vacancy and collect resumes, which can be further sorted. But it is a time-consuming process.

It depends on your requirement as to what kind of hiring you have to do. If it is for front line or executive/freshers, then we can post the openings on Facebook because for these profiles, we may not find the same data on LinkedIn. There are fewer chances there. Facebook is used by almost everyone, whether they are working or not. Additionally, we can create groups, make friends, and then post the openings.

I think that we cannot depend on Facebook for recruitment because it is completely focused on social life, not on the professional sphere. Facebook may be used as a branding tool or for data/resume collection from a small segment. Your screening begins with limited applications. If you require specific skills and client-specific candidates, then Facebook becomes an inadequate source of recruitment.

Agreed with Mr. Shankar that facebook can be used for frontline positions. Good idea can be implemented.

Hi HR Herald,
