Five hundred and thirty-five million. That's the potential number of job candidates you could reach by using LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter combined. Social media is a powerful and cost-effective recruiting tool that can help you reach top talent, create short- and long-term relationships, turn passive recruiting into active, and allow you more insight into a potential candidate than with a resume alone.

Use social media to help locate the right candidate for your job opening, and learn:
*How social media - Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and even YouTube - can be a significant part of your sourcing strategy
*How your competition is using social media to reach job seekers
*Simple ways to create an online presence that attracts the best talent and best-fit employees
*To avoid the biggest mistakes that make the wrong impression with a potential candidate online
