Social Media:
With the expansion of social media in recent years potential

websites so there is a chance to directly get in touch with them. We can use
social media in recruitment in different ways using different platforms like:
LinkedIn:
LinkedIn is so far the largest online network of
professionals where they interact with each other. So it gives recruiters a lot
of options to hire the best talent in the game.
Facebook Pages:
A lot of companies are making their career pages on Facebook
to have a targeted audience for any future openings they might have. It’s a really
useful way to fill your vacancies with ease.
Mobile apps:
Having your own mobile app for your current of future
openings where a user can submit her resume is becoming a popular way among
tech companies to attract new talent.
Employee Referral
Program:
Although it’s not a new methods to many companies but still
there is a lot of room for improvement to make this program more innovative.
This program not only get you trusted resources but can help you reduce the
turnover by designing it in a way that both new and old employees get something
out of it.
Hiring Vans:
Not very popular yet but few companies are using it to
attract talent from some bigger firms. Basically you hire a van and design it
according to your needs saying, “we are hiring” and then park it in front of
companies that have the best talent in your industry. You can distribute
flayers or even have on the spot interview in the van.
Billboards:
Fewer companies are using billboards to fill their
vacancies. This can be useful to get a large number of workers from a specific area.
