8:34 AM Technological Post: Social Media and Hiring

Social Media's world domination has seeped into our daily lives even deeper according to experts. Companies are starting to now use Social Media as part of the job interview process. Either a flip through to make sure they are a suitable person for their position or to look for specific skills this person has. Popular social media website YouTube uses a version of this for recruiting popular YouTubers as partners. These partners will help youtube gain views. YouTube gives them different technological devices and pays these people as employees, mostly on a piecework type basis. They receive pay based on views, comments, etc. If other big companies use this in their corporate world, the social media aspect atleast, they will be able to have, essentially, a diary of the candidate. "Consider that 92 percent of employers either use or plan to use social media to recruit employees, according to the 2012 Social Recruiting Survey by the careers website Jobvite. It found that nearly three in four – 73 percent – say they have hired candidates through social media."
