Twitter Webinar Preview - Recruiting & Sourcing Twitter's Em

Continuing its tremendous and consistent levels of growth, Twitter topped 23 million unique users as of June, 2009, and appears to be the favored platform of America's leading companies. The evidence? According to a study released by Burson Marsteller and recently reported in Mashable, 76% of Fortune 100 companies named Twitter their preferred social media platform, with 54% maintaining an active corporate presence on the site.

Clearly, Twitter is not a site to be overlooked for those in the recruiting industry. For every grinning dad embarrassing his son by tweeting that he's sitting in his chair (yes, I've seen your commercials, oh mighty mobile services provider), Twitter offers scores of individuals who communicate regularly with business and career related topics in mind. If you're in recruiting and want to know the best methods by which to source Twitter regulars as active and passive candidates leads, check out our 2009 webinar by Geoff Peterson, a recruiting industry superstar, blog editor, and author.
