Are there any success stories with TweetMyJobs from employers (not agencies)? An anecdote here and there is not a success story…to me.

I’m trying to figure out a good way to use Twitter to recruit and using it as a “job posting” channel worries me because of the amount of “static/noise” that can be generated.

Meaning, “information/jobs” loses its quality when it goes out untargeted and this “loss of quality” increases exponentially the broader the channel. A broadcast at 140 characters can only be so targeted..and that’s not much..especially when you are competing with all the other twitter accounts that people are following.

It’s a low spoken voice in a very large crowd…and all are talking at one person…through tweets.

I’ve basically come to the conclusion that, in regards to overall successful recruiting, Twitter can be used as a sourcing tool…and not as a broadcast tool for jobs. It would be cool to be proven wrong on that one.

The general broadcast of a job will result in more unqualified applicants…the last thing anyone needs.

I would love to see if a company has/is integrating private employee twitter accounts with their employee referral program. Now that could get highly targeted.
