5 Biggest Social Media TrendsImpact on HR and Recruiting

1) More mobile social media usageMobile Internet use in the US is set to overtake wired use by 2015. The Mobile Recruiting Market Is About to Get Very Hot. Mr. Jenkins,

director of recruiting operations and strategy at Wal-mart Stores Inc., says that “mobile” needs to be a part of anything and everything you’re doing, candidate experience is the key reason. At Walmart about a quarter of applicants access career info through mobile-enabled devices

2) International and localized networks boom While social media growth in North America has slowed dramatically, growth is just taking off other parts of the world. Many of those

users will be flocking to localized networks you may not have heard of. Examples include China’s Twitter-like Sina Weibo, which doubled its base to 400 million users in just one year. Another example is Russia’s VKontak. As a result, searches in local languages will increase

3) Social media boosting office productivity.Last year, McKinsey published a report saying that social technologies stand to unlock $1.3 trillion in business value. McKinsey Global

Institute (MGI) In other words, social media isn’t a time-waster in the office – it’s a potential productivity tool.

4) Big data gets a lot more manageableSocial media and social campaigns have given brands and companies access to unprecedented volumes of information about their

clients and stakeholders. In 2013, more and more companies will be able to make the most of social data as robust new software and analytical tools emerge for tracking social stats in real time, everything from tweets and Likes to customer sentiment. This has a very dramatic impact on how you should control what people can see about you on all your social networks and also how sites like Facebook use your private information without your permission and sell them to marketers and governments for example.

5) More integration of personal and professional data: Recruiters look at Social proof (positive comments), reputation (personal recommendations). For individuals, it is becoming more and more complicated to manage privacy settings and many personal data will be used without your permission impacting how and what people learn about you.
