come to an exploration dive with me…
what is one common point of HR people in this room?
Talentwe are all looking for…
talent >How’s your brand?
And how about your candidate pool?
In Turkey, the unemployment is high, a lot of candidates: But, is this the workforce you run after?
Do you need specific skills or experience?
Do you need stars?

Good news: Now reaching the talent is a lot easier.
You need to be there!But >>>

retention
a second common point of us?
retention >
Let’s be clear:
I don’t want my good employees to leave!
> I keep my talent and corporate know-how> I have a committed bunch of people, thus better results> I do less recruitment, thus save energy and costs
retention >
At the end, everyone wants to work for
a GOOD company!
Social media is one of the fastest ways
to build an employer brand!
For those inside and for those outside!
A good employer brand works both ways:
but you are not alone!
create your employer brand in social media
have you heard about “side wiki”?
nothing is a secret and it takes less than a minute to reach the information
watch this
out!
meaning:better work “together” to build
an employer brand in social media
Encourage your employees to be in the social media : Not only with their personal identities but also with their professional identities.
// : trust
Let them be the ambassadors of your company
This will increase their engagement, their responsibility and their willingness to reflect a better company image.
Define the rules of the game
// : communicate
Help them use the social media cleverly and efficiently
Show them ways to create employee communities
Added bonus:
You will feel the pulse of your company instantly
what else?
// : training and development share as much as you can online > this is the fastest
way to share information
Use social bookmarking tools to collect links of sites and articles that are relevant to your hiring practices, share these
Develop micro-training programs
Get people blogging internally about their learning experiences
Start a YouTube channel and allow your employees to post videos of their experience

Your HR voice should echo your company’s voice in social media
people act as a “community”
• of citizens• of professionals• of employees• of women• …..
this community…

Shares feedback and experience, influences each other’s decisions
Discusses opinions, provides presentations, tools and know-how
ACTS!
