Social recruitment software

The social recruitment software market (a form of erecruitment) is often included in the wider talent management software sector. Bersin & Associates valued the
wider talent management market at over $2bn in 2007.[4]
Social recruitment increasingly sits at an intersection of
a number of fast-moving areas including social networking, recruitment and now cloud computing. Additionally,
mobile recruiting has become another hot topic, especially with the rise in tablet and smartphone usage.
In 2012, there was a rise of tech companies using social
recruiting applications to nd and screen applicants.[5] As
more companies saw value in lling jobs by putting them
on the social platforms where millions of people spend at
least 37 minutes daily,[6] there developed a much larger
focus on social recruiting among the talent acquisition
community. By mid-2013, many major enterprise companies such as Pepsi, Gap, AIG, and Oracle had begun
eectively utilizing social recruiting software, making it
clear that large corporations were open to automating or
streamlining (and ultimately investing in) their social recruiting processes.[7]
