What is Social Recruiting?

The practice of using social media platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram to find, attract, engage, and hire candidates.

Why it matters in hiring

Social Recruiting comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
