I’m so impressed with the kind of social networking platform that LinkedIn has. Aside from its resume style profile pages, it has other venues like answers, discussions, and groups where you can actually see how knowledgeable candidates are, complimentary to what their profile says about them.

Lou Adler? Are you kidding me, there is no bigger no nothing douche in the industry than Lou Adler. He’s about 90 years old, I’m sure that print advertising is cutting edge to him let alone anything connected with a cord.

It’s not surprising that websites such as LinkedIn are so popular with recruiters and managers. Social media is a quick and proficient tool for recent graduates and anyone else looking for work. Although, it is surprising to learn that 48% use Facebook to recruit, since that website is generally associated with students to network socially with friends.

Another facet that hiring managers (as well as job seekers) might want to look into are other, more recent social networks that concentrate on career building such as OneCubicle.com, which bridges the gap between LinkedIn and Facebook. Each member has their own profile that they can update with their work history and skills, but they can also include information about their interests, hobbies, and etc to add a personal touch. I’ve used this website to browse for job listings and internships. As a soon-to-be college graduate, I’ve found it to be interactive and easy to use.

26%! Give me a break. I can’t believe that 26 percent of hiring managers use twitter. Are these managers hiring bloggers? Jump Start Social Media has a business of selling companies services around social media, so of course they want to make the numbers look big.

As for the 48% that use Facebook, Lou Adler has a survey out right now: http://www.zoomerang.com/Shared/SharedResultsSurveyResultsPage.aspx?ID=L23VLYDDPH5L

Basically, it says Facebook and Twitter are pretty useless, and LinkedIn is essential. That completely matches my personal recruiting experience, and the experience of everyone I’ve ever talked to.
