Benefits of Recruiters using Google Plus (Google+)

Google Plus (Google+): Finally, A Recruiting Friendly Facebook 
(Read this article on Recruiter.com)


This is a great article for Recruiters using Google+. The organization of contacts is excellent. I can keep candidates for Nurses In Maryland in one circle and candidates for Engineers in Ohio in another circle. 


I agree that the Hangout is a great way to do group interviews and training. There is real value here for the right marketer.


I disagree that it should look more like LinkedIn and less like Myspace. I think this gives the personal emotional touch needed to communicate with candidates on a personal level. Recruiters don't have as much success on Facebook because Facebook was designed to be more about sharing with friends and family, LinkedIn is the opposite, they have the professional feel. Google+ is right there in the middle.


Fortunately for the job seekers that don't know any better and like to share party photos or nude photos or post inappropriate material they too can benefit from Google+, just hope they aren't too drunk to share them with the right circle or allow access for the Social Intelligence Agency to find it.
